Na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog was die Jode vasberade om hul eie land te hê.
Hulle het geleidelik grond gekoop en ʼn stuk van die Midde-Ooste, wat hulle
Israel genoem het, verower. Deur ʼn aantal oorloë wat hoofsaaklik deur
omliggende Arabiese state begin was, het die Jode die grense, van wat hulle
Israel genoem het, uitgebrei. Vir baie Moslems moes die hele gebied nog

verantwoordelikheid net soveel klem gegee as aan menseregte. Dit word
beklemtoon dat daar geen regte sonder verantwoordelikhede kan wees nie.
[Bron: Religion Studies Grade 12, Steyn et al, bl.08]
