Hi, so I haven't updated in a while mostly due to some moral implications. Which is, how can I write fanfiction about a military game, when the militaries and governments the game is based on are all actively supporting a genocide? Because this military game still is propaganda, no matter how we change it. How can I not use the one thing I have the most reach on and not say anything? I am willing to finish this story, but I have to say something first and make my stance known. I stand with Palestine and I am actively trying to help in whichever way I can, either that be reposting and sharing protest information or information on how to donate aid to Palestine. Every little bit can help them, so to hell with whatever aesthetics people have, you have to speak up. And before anyone says anything about me not knowing anything, I did the research. I wrote a simplified paper about the issues going on. I will not allow any antisemitic comments or zionistic comments. I know so many readers are reading this to escape the realities of the world BUT Palestinians can't escape. The children who are dying can't pretend what is happening isn't happening, so why do we get that luxury? So, here is the basic history summed up, WITH, the sources linked.

How did the United Kingdom have the power to split Palestine into two states? The United Kingdom had again administrative power of the Ottoman territories, also known as the Turkish empire, from the League of Nations in 1922. Every territory from the Ottoman territories, with the exception of Palestine, became fully independent states. Palestine had become the national home for Jewish people. Why had Palestine been made the national home for Jewish people by the League of Nations? Palestine had become the national home for Jewish people for the historical ties Jewish people had. This led to a large scale Jewish immigration mostly from Eastern Europe, the numbers increasing in the 1930s due to Nazi persecution of Jewish people. Arab people demanded their independence all while being resistant to Jewish immigration which led to a rebellion in 1937. Which led to the United Kingdom turning to the United Nations to solve the Palestine problem.

The conflict in Israel and Palestine has been going on since the end of the nineteenth century. The conflict peaked during the 1940s, specifically in 1947 when the United Nations sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into two separate states- Arab and Jewish. This division is Resolution 181 or the Partition Plan, which created the State of Israel on May 14, 1948. Which led to the start of the first Arab-Israeli War, started by Arabs who believed the arrangement to be unfair to the Arab population who would remain in Jewish territory and thought to favor Jewish people. This conflict ended in 1949, which had led to the displacement of three quarters of a million Palestinians, forcing Palestinians to leave their homes to be forced to live in a smaller village somewhere else or die. The abandoned homes of Palestinians were given to the new Jewish settlers, especially before and after the Holocaust. With which allowed the territory to be divided into three parts. The three parts are the State of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip and the West Bank were left under control of Egypt and Jordan.

This eventually led to tensions growing between Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, why? Land. In 1956 the Suez Crisis, or the Suez War, broke out, marking the second Arab-Israeli war. Israel, Great Britain, and France had led a joint attack on Egypt to gain control of the country as the three wanted to change the regime and a different leader as Gamal Abdel Nasser was a direct threat to the colonial powers in the Middle East. Nasser caused concerns to rise with Britain and the United States when he struck an arms deal with Czechoslovakia, which brought concerns of Egypt aligning itself with the Soviet Union. Later in November of 1956 Britain and France pulled out of the region due to Egypt's relation with the Soviet Union, at the United States insistence, which was the threat of loss vital loans. Leaving Egypt to squabble with Israel for control of the Suez Canal.

Up until 1987, Palestinians had been living under the rule of Israel, as complications from the Six Day War led to Israel having power over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as Israel had taken the land from Egypt and Jordan. During 1987, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip rose up against the Israeli government. This is the first intifada, or the first rebellion. The 1993 Oslo I Accords allowed the beginning of mediation of the conflict, giving Palestinians the framework to govern themselves in the West Bank and Gaza. Giving Palestinians their recognition to be allowed to govern themselves independent of Israel. The 1995 Oslo II Accords expanded the Oslo I Accords that mandated Israel to withdraw completely from six cities and 450 towns in the West Bank. However,as Israel stagnated in their peace agreements, as they remained in control over the West Bank in the year 2000, Palestinians launched the second intifada that would last until 2005. Israel, despite opposition from the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, apporved of the construction of a barrier wall around the West Bank in 2002, the Israeli describe it as a necessary wall for security against Palestinian political violence; whereas Palestinians view it as a form of racial segregation and a physical representation of the Israeli apartheid. The wall around the West Bank and Gaza are used to control what goes into Palestine and the movement of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people have various checkpoints and require visas to leave Palestine, which can cause problems for the Palestinian people as schools, medical, jobs for Palestinians, and important holy sites can be in Israel, whereas Israeli do not face this issue and can travel to and from Palestine without problem.
