Do the Hezbollah and Hamas people claim Israel as their land?

Question

Please answer I need it...for social studies

Answer 1

Yes, they do. This particular gripe goes all the way back to 1947, when Britain created the state of Israel after WWII.

Answer 2

Well, there is not straight answer. Members of both groups have different views regarding how much and what land they claim. In general most claim that Israel is an illegal state & that the land now occupied by the state of Israel belong to Palestine. A minority claim that Israel should abide by the U.N resolution that stipulates that the state of Israel should withdraw to pre- 1967 war borders.

Answer 3

Israel is a bastard child to a a false conjugal between Britain and the USA years ago ... hamas and hezbollah are resistance groups , wanting their land back ..... you took my territory , do u expect me not to ask for it ... well they asked and did not get an answer , they asked billions and billions of times and nothing ....
resorting to violence is the only way in their opinion... and i guess some of them are winning some of the time ... but Israel is always losing...


Israel is losing credibility and image.... and losing a hefty some of Jewish settlers who are always threatened with extreme violence inflected by their government on their Arab neighbores .if Arabs do not want the Israelis they do not want them for a reason. Israel is always on the look out to disturb the middle east.. and is always picking fights with its neighbors sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly .... I do not think Arabs mind Jews though , they lived among them for a very long time and it was so peaceful... not like Nazi Germany .. if you know what i mean .

the establiment of israel was in the hope to creat a nation for all jews around the world .. which in my opinion is ok BUT if you do that by usreping and killing i see it as extermly bellergint and unesscery . coexistance is a must , but with contious occupation of arab lands and arab displacment , i do not think it will happen .
israel is blindlingly ambitious and extermly violent .... what do you expect , violence breeds hatered , violence beeds generations of arabs that feel insecure about thier futuer

Answer 4

They might claim it but it is not true. In the Bible Abraham had a child by his maidservant Hagar and she gave birth to Ishmael, Ishmael is the bastard child of Abraham.
Abrahams child by his wife is Isaac and it is Isaac who is the child of promise and it is to his seed that the nation of Israel has been promised by God. Ishmael's stock, are the present day Muslims and have been enemies of the children of God ever since. They come from the bastard side and the Israelis are Gods chosen people. The land belongs to Israel and they have never lost a war yet and will win this one too because their God is with them. The Muslim god is the moon god that is why they have a crescent on their flags.

Answer 5

They demand & claim their land named "Palestine"in that form only that is sounded as "Israel"! What is new in it? My father don't give me $ 5 when I request for 10. It is the same demand & supply. Incase Israel returns 50% of the land that is under their hold and belongs to Palestine - I presume Palestine people are lucky! More voilance will bring more human & material loss and less land.

Answer 6

hezbollah does not claim isreal as its land it is just defending its own land which any country has the right to do

hamas does claim isreal as its land and it fights just like isreal fights claiming it for its land

Answer 7

i think of it quite is a crying shame that Israel has been decrease than some form of attack and has had to preserve herself for 61 years. i've got faith we are approximately to make certain Psalm eighty 3. it quite is short take a glance.

6. Population of Palestine in 1917?
When the Palestine Problem was created by Britain in 1917, more than 90% of the population of Palestine were Arabs. There were at that time no more than 56,000 Jews in Palestine?

7. Where did the Jews come from?
More than half of the Jews living in Palestine at that time were recent immigrants, who had come to Palestine in the preceding decades in order to escape persecution in Europe. And that less than 5% of the population of Palestine were native Palestinian Jews.

8. Who owned the land?
The Arabs of Palestine at that time owned 97.5% of the land, while Jews (native Palestinians and recent immigrants together) owned only 2.5% of the land?

9. Who sold Jews the land?
During the thirty years of British occupation and rule, the Zionists were able to purchase only 3.5% of the land of Palestine, in spite of the encouragement of the British Government?... And that much of this land was transferred to Zionist bodies by the British Government directly, and was not sold by Arab owners?

10. What was the land ownership in 1947?
When British passed the Palestine Problem to the United Nations in 1947, Zionists owned no more then 6% of the total land area of Palestine?

11. Why did Palestinians reject UN Partition Plan?

The territorial expansion took place, for the most part, before 15 May 1948: i.e., before the formal end of the British forces from Palestine, before the entry of Arab armies to protect Palestinian Arabs, and before the Arab-Israeli war? In 1948, 13 towns, 419 villages, and 99 tribal lands were depopulated in order to declare the State of Israel, occupying 78% of Palestine. 85% of Palestinian population "ethnically-cleansed"!

In 2000, out of a total (worldwide) Palestinian population of c.8M, some 5M are refugees – the largest number of refugees in the World! Many still live in overcrowded, squalid camps, not only in occupied Israel, but also in neighbouring countries of Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.

15. Did you know.....

.....That, the 1947 recommendation of the General Assembly in favour of the creation of a "Jewish State" was outside the competence of the Assembly under the Charter of the United Nations.

.....That, all attempts by the Arab States and other Asian countries to have the Assembly submit the question of "constitutionality" of its recommendation to the International Court of Justice for an "advisory opinion" by the Court were rejected or ignored by the Assembly.

.....That, when the Assembly began to experience "second thoughts" over the matter and convened for its second special session in 1948, it failed to reaffirm the 1947 recommendation for the partition of Palestine-thus destroying whatever dubious legality that recommendation for the establishment of a "Jewish State" had had

.....That, that original 1947 recommendation to create a "Jewish State" in Palestine was approved, at the first vote, only by European, American and Australian States...for every Asian State, and every African State (with the exception of the Union of South Africa) voted against it...And that, when the vote was cast in plenary session on 29 November 1947, urgent American pressures (which a member of the Truman cabinet described as "bordering onto scandal") had succeeded in prevailing only upon one African country (Liberia), both of which had special vulnerability to American pressures, to abandon their declared opposition?...And that, in other words, the "Jewish State" was planted at the point-of-intersection of Asia and Africa without the free approval of any Middle Eastern, Asian or African country except that Union of South Africa, itself ruled by an alien minority.

.....That, since the General Armistice Agreements were signed in 1949, Israel has maintained an aggressive policy of waging military attacks across the Armistice Demarcation Lines, repeatedly invading the territories of the neighbouring Arab States...And that Israel has been duly rebuked, censured, or condemned for these military attacks by the Security Council of the General Assembly of the United Nations on eleven occasions-five times by the Security Council and six times by the General Assembly.

.....That, no other country in the world, whether member of the United Nations or non-member, has been so frequently condemned by the United Nations.

.....That, no Arab State has ever been condemned by any organ of the United Nations for military attacks upon Israel.

.....That, besides expelling the bulk of the Arab inhabitants of Palestine, and besides constantly attacking the neighbouring Arab States, Israel has also consistently harassed the United Nations observers and other personnel stationed along the Armistice Demarcation Lines: It has assassinated the first United Nations Mediator and his military aide; it has detained some truce observers; it has military occupied and illegally searched the Headquarters of United Nations personnel; and it has boycotted meetings of the Mixed Armistice Commissions.

.....That, Israel has additionally imposed a system of apartheid upon the Arabs who stayed in their homeland?...More than 90% of these Arabs live in "security zones;" they alone live under martial law, restricting their freedom to travel from village to village or from town to town; their children are denied equal opportunities for education; and they are denied decent opportunities for work, and the right to receive "equal pay for equal work".

.....That, notwithstanding the foregoing facts, Israel has always been, and still is, widely portrayed in the Western press as the "bastion of democracy" and the "champion of peace" in the Middle East.

.....That, the Western Powers have persisted in declaring their determination to ensure a so-called "arms balance" in the area, as between Israel, on the one hand, and the one-hundred million inhabitants of the thirteen Arab States, on the other hand?... And this unilateral Western doctrine of so-called "arms balance" is no more reasonable than the suggestion that, in the Cuba-U.S.A conflict, there should be "arms balance" as between Cuba and the United States... or that the whole Continent of Africa should not be allowed to acquire more arms than South Africa... or that Mainland China should not be permitted to have more arms than Taiwan... or that the military allowed to acquire more arms than South Africa... and that only thus can peace be safeguarded in the Western Hemisphere, in Africa, in Asia, or in Europe.
.....That Some 34 massacres have been committed against Palestinians – as part of the occupying 78% of Palestine.

.....That, Israel and the Zionists are "in breach" of over 20 United Nations Resolutions. Thousands of indigenous Palestinians have been murdered in their own homeland; millions have been ethnically-cleansing by an "illegal occupying power"; Billions of US dollars have been used to finance the illegal occupation by Zionists of the land of Palestine; the Zionists have been supplied with the very latest and sophisticated (including nuclear) weaponry; since 1967, the Muslim Holy Site of Al-Aqsa has been violated by Zionists on more than 100 occasions; the so-called "Oslo Peace Agreement" in fact relates to only to the original occupants of Gaza and the West Bank – some 1M Palestinians! The WAR: "a MILITARY POWER suppressing (illegally) a CIVILIAN (UNARMED) POPULATION"! On 20
Oct, 2000 YET ANOTHER U.N. CONDEMNATION OF ISRAEL, WHAT PRICE HUMAN RIGHTS.

15. What is Zionism?
Zionism is claimed to be political expression of Jewish nationalism. Before first World War most Jews were against Zionism and today not all Jews are Zionist. Zionism has become a form of racism and the UN in 1975 ruled "Zionism is a form of racism and radical discrimination," which wants to create Palestine [now Israel] into an exclusive Jewish country.

17. Is Anti Zionism a form of Anti Semitism?
Zionist propaganda likes to equate Anti-Zionism as Anti-Semitism. This is to frieghten people to campaign for justice in Palestine. Remember opposition to Zionism is not oppostion to a people [Jews] but to a political philosophy which claims it is impossible for Jews to be integrated into non-Jewish society.

18. What is Intifada?
It literally means "shaking off", and in this context it means to set free from the Israeli oppression. The first intifada started on 8th Dec 1987 when four Palestinian men queuing at a checkpoint into Gaza were crushed to death by an Israeli army transporter. The second Intifada started on 28th Sept 2000 when Sharon with over 2,000 Israeli soldiers desecrated the Al Aqsa Mosque and killed 4 people.
