Who do you think the aggressor is Palastine or Israel?

Question

This conflict have been around for a long time.
Who do you think is the aggressor?
describe why and supply some examples if possible.

Thank you all.

Answer 1

None of them are innocent.They both are killing innocent people and none of them accepts the other.but I think Israel is doing much harm to the Palestinians.Israel says that Palestinians don't recognize their right to exist,but how many times did the Israeli government said it won't allowed any Palestinian refugee to come back?Isn't this also a denial to the right of existence?I think it is.Beside Israeli army is killing civilians on a daily basis.And what it's worst is that they are killing children.Since 2000 3 Israeli children have been killed.In the past 3 weeks more than 10 Palestinian children have been killed(in the attack on Gaza beach,the attacks on Islamic Jihad militants ).

Answer 2

There is no question about it. The aggressor is Palestine. There are many variables to this though. While the Palestinians are the initial aggressors, Israel has done it's share of keeping the fire stoked.

When it comes to continuing the conflict, again the Palestinians are the ones that fail to abide by cease fires and treaties. Keep in mind they are a fire that is being fanned by the rest of the Arab Countries that want to see Israel wiped off the map.

This isn't a good guy/bad guy thing. There are no clear good/evil people here. Israel is holding onto land that God gave them and everyone else wants it because it's the main access to the Mediteranean. My thoughts are that if God wants Israel to remain with the people that has it, then nothing is going to be able to take it from them.

Answer 3

I'm afraid at this point in time, your question is like which came first the chicken or the egg. Although this conflict is so deeply scared by religous bigotry that has caused a focused blind hatred on both parties behalf. Until both parties accept the other's religon as their chose and resolve the land disputes with diplomatic tack, neither's hands are without blame or blood.

Answer 4

It's not quite that simple. One way to look at it is that the Palestinians are pawns in the larger picture. Neighbouring Arabic nations limit citizenship and travel for Palestinians and won't accept them as refugees, forcing them to stay in there in order to undermine public opinion about Israel.

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugee):
"The Arab League issued instructions barring the Arab states from granting citizenship to Palestinian Arab refugees (or their descendants) "to avoid dissolution of their identity and protect their right to return to their homeland".

It's also important to remember that the UN two-state plan (one Jewish, one Arabic) was rejected by the Arabic leadership. This would have given the Palestinians their own state. Israel gained control of that land after they managed to win the 1948 war (started the day after Israel declared independence when seven Arabic nations invaded). So if Israel had been accepted and allowed to exist in the first place, there would be a Palestinian state.

Answer 5

Go look at the original map of Israel and what they control now. Then go look at the death counts of innocents between the two. Those clearly show the aggressor in this equation is Israel.

Answer 6

Count the numbers killed on either side and Israel comes out on top by about 5 to 1.

Answer 7

The fact is the Arab world has been trying to destroy Israel since its inception. Before that, Arabs murdered Jews all the same (ex. the Hebron Massacre 1929).

Jewish independence goes against Islam and all that the Arabs believe in.

Just do some honest research into the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Answer 8

Ill answer your question with a question then maybe youll have your answer.
If the palestinians dropped all their weapons and completely stopped the bombings and the rockets and the rock throwing...........
Do you think the Israelis would continue to target them?

Answer 9

It all has to do with religion. Anywhere in the world where one religion wants to dominate the others, this will always happen. Remember, religion is some what like politics.

Answer 10

i think they are both pathetic and annoying and should just share the land. God,is that issue getting old. That stupid issue is causing everyone else in the world to get into war and threatening world peace.
