If a person came into your home, the home and land your family lived in and on for 100s of years. The told you had to leave and that they were taking over. Would you be happy?
If these same people would then try to say they paid for the land they just forced your family from, would you be happy as you are living in a refugee camp in Jordan as over 100,000 did in 1940. Some are still living in these camps today unable to return home, when the payment was really made from the end of a gun.
If you had lived in a land and someone from a foreign land came in and told you that you would only be able to stay in your village although you had been living there peacefully. Would you be happy that you would never be able to leave?
What if you had been living in your village in peace and a missile came in and killed you child would you be happy.
What if you were fixing your children lunch and another government had just turned off the water and electric. Would you be happy?
The only reason Israel exist is because the United States gives them money and the military power. If these things were taken away so would their power.
They say the people of Palestine were not there when Israel came to power but the people had been living there for thousands of years.
How can they say that it is a fair fight when the Israeli army has modern weapons to go after people who are just trying to have their basic human rights and the children fight back with rocks and are killed by bullets?

Um, Palestine was an English colony. The English set aside Palestinian land to Isreal after WW2 without asking or compensating the Palestinians. After all, what would their opinion matter to their European overlords? And you wonder why they hate the West... Anyway, the Palestinians had been trying to take back the land that was in their families for generations from the invaders, but now have given up on that and just want their own country for their children. They fight because they're tired of being oppressed and occupied illegally by Isreal and everyone else before.

Err, I don't think that the Palestinians did sell their lands to Israel. As far as I understood it, the land that was previously Palestine was divided in half by the UN Partition act in the late 1940s. The rest of Palestine was taken by Israeli forces in the various wars that followed afterwords. Of course it is possible that some land was sold, but not most.

the Palestine people did sell the land to Israel the UN took the land and gave it to the Jews people to make a country where they could be safe however in doing this the UN kicked out all the Palestine people forcing them too live in refugee camps. this camps where only supposed to last only about 3-5 year however they have lasted for over 50 years
