Because of Palestine...  Israel has taken the land from the Palestinians.

let see in 1949 the Jewish nation was redrawn by the international community. then in the 1960's palestine and other middle east countries decided that the Jewish people should be driven into the sea. the nation of Isreal fought back and won driving the palestine people out. so they fought a war and won the land. if you live in Americia are you willing to give your house back to the native Americans? because that is what the argument boils down to.

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

The Palestinian people have their own government and land.  And it is the Palistinians who carry out unprovoked attacks against the Israelis.  The Israelis are simply retaliating against the Palistinians and their terrorist Hamas government.

The UN said it was theirs.  If the Palestinians had chosen peace in 1948, they would have a country too.  But they chose to fight, got whipped, and lost whatever rights they had to Israel by right of conquest by a defender.  Suck it up and go live in Jordan.  Or Lebanon.  Or Syria.  Or Egypt.  \n\nIf they will have you.  Otherwise, tough ****

israel is jewish land, and has been since 3300 years ago. long before arab/muslim occupiers came to the area. End of story.

the user named 80yearsleft, what does this gotta do with Somalia? Dumb @ass.\n\nI think Palestinians should have the SAME firepower as Israelis and fight. However, I think the weapons should come from fellow Arabs and help their own people in Palestine and STOP fearing the Israelis and Americans. Who cares if the world ends, DON'T LET your people embarrassed and killed, while you make trillions of dollars of oil revenues.

This is a thorny question one that no one has found an acceptable compromise to. The begining or Israeli and Palestinian strife came around the end of World War 2. Before then the state of Israel was not even in existance but through lobbying by prominent jews in America and due to a British promise to set up a homeland for displaced European Jews, the state of Israel was founded in Palestine in the British Mandate. Isreal has based this on the pretext that Isreal is the promised land that Moses led the Jewish tribes to after the Exodus and during the time of Babylon and Rome the people were once again exiled by the new conqurers and this the Jews have been a displaced people within Europe ever since. One argument that Israel was founded illegally on land that has already been inhabited by Arabs and thus they are the occupying force and displacing the Arabs. Israelis content that it is their right to have a homeland in the promised land and thus justified for occupation. The animosity intensified after Israel declared independance and thus 6 adjacent Arab states declared war to prevent the formalization of a Zionist state in the Midst of an Arab sea. Isreal prevaled and even captured larger tracts of territory which included the Sinai Peninsular from Egypt, Golan Heights from Syria and small tracts from lebanon. The Yom Kippur War later was proven to be a Israeli victory. Finally Egypt sign a peace treaty through the Camp David Accord whereby Sinai was returned to Egypt and formal recognization of Isreal was acknowledge. At present Palestine consists of the Gaza strip and the West Bank, Jerusalem is still a contested site whereby both states claim it as their capital. Years of infighting from the Hezbollah led by Yasser Arrafat which uses guerilla tactics and suicide bombers targetting US and Israeli sites have seen retaliation by Israel through forced demolition and targeted killing of 'terrorists/freedom fighters'. Also zealots and ultra orthodox jews erecting squatters within clearly marked territories belonging to the Palestine has caused frictions. To date both sides are still at war and peace accords don't last as seen by the last roadmap to peace initiative. It would seem only a miracle would unite these two foes together in peace.

It doesn't matter either way. The bottom line is regardless of any good will or good faith gestures on the part of Israel, the Arab world will still want Israel annihlated. All rational people know that, hence there will never be peace. Sorry for the negative analysis, it's just the way I see it.

Well, the land was won by Israel after they were ATTACKED by Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.  Due to the ancient rite of war it's their land.  And obviously you haven't paid any attention to the news since Israel has given control of the land that they won back to the Palestinians

Both. A people and a land. Clearly, and not by "interpretation" - that's what the text says:\n\nJeremiah 32:21:\n\n21 And hast brought forth thy ** people ** Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and with a stretched out arm and with great terror\n\nJoshua 11:16: \n\n16 So Joshua took this entire land: the hill country, all the Negev, the whole region of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah and the ** mountains of Israel with their foothills **

Britain owned the land as a colony and established Israel an Palestine as two separate countries. Palestine declared war with Israel and lost. If you have a solution as to how Ha-mas can accept and recognize Israel you probably will win the Nobel peace prize,. Otherwise you will have to endure Israel defending their right to exist and right to defend their selves against ignorant racist aholes that is Ha mas and only purpose is to keep the fires of hatred stirred up.

Palestinan and Israel conflict.  Jews moved on their land during WW11.  Divided over who gets Jeruselem and holy areas.  Just an idea.

Hello dear!\nFirst, by the time you ask about our beliefs, most will reply that the land was meant for them, regardless that others had founded cities centuries before the Israelis moved there.\nAnother issue is History: When was Israel? How and who pushed for the formation of Israel there? What were the trade-abouts?\nMore, the striking power of Israel, the USA, G. Britain and others from that side is much stronger that that of Palestinians!

Take the Israeli influence out and let the Palestinians exercise their own free will independently.\nFatah and Hammas are two native groups in Palestine like every one else has in his country.\nWhy are you targeting Palestine only?
