What the issue is with Israel and Palestine?
It's about OCCUPATION. Israel is occupying the land of Palestine and the palestinians want them off. They are fighting the occupation.
NOW...Israel is probably going occupy Lebanon.
If Israel STOPS the occupation and withdrawls from their land, then the fighting (or resistance) will cease.
When the British came to the Americas, the natives fought the occupation.
Anytime any country is occupied by another country, there is a resistance.
SO....Did you know this?

Palestine was the original state. Many wealthy Jews had purchased Palestinian land and then later, after WWII, requested that they be recognized as their own "State." So you see, in essence, they stole the land from Palestine.

Look, if we are talking about who ORIGINALLY owned the land at the beginning of time, then SURE, it DIDN'T belong to arabs. But we arent talking about that. I am talking about within the last 100 years. You know...MODERN TIMES? Furthermore, Yes, Israel offered to give back land, but then, a few months later, THEY WERE BACK! The news didnt report on this.

You're not telling the whole story. Before the state of Isreal was created, Jewish people owned the majority of that land that is now called Isreal. So, it's not like all of a sudden the Jews came in and threw out the Palestinians after WWII. The creation of the state of Isreal really didn't change anything because the Jews originally owned the land.

This shows your ignorance of the middle east and the history of the area. All you are stating is partially correct except this is not the traditional home of the Arabs. In the ancient histories this is the ancestral of the Jewish people going back 6000 years.
You ask if Israel gives back land will the violence end. This has been proven to not be true. A few years ago Israel offered to give plenty of land for the Palestinians to develop their own state. Yassar Arafat rejected this offer completely. You see the land is secondary to the complete destruction of the Jewish people and this is the stated objective of the Arabs.

Actually, there were many inhabitants before Palestinians came along, including Mousterian Neanderthals, Philistines, Kebarans, Yarmukians, and Ghassulians. Semitic people of any type didn't arrive until after this last group. They probably stole it from them. That's what people do throughout history - steal land from each other.
So you can say Jews are trying to steal it from Muslims, but it's already a 'hot' property.

Every country wants to expand by occupying other states in the guise of valid reasons like attacking Lebanon due to Hezbollah guerillas.

Palestine has no right to exist. they have no historical background, no heritage. they just got some newspapers to start a story and it was bought hook line and sinker. SO how can they take what has no right to exist. Just like the story Palestine wants to believe about a country with a history and heritage

The land was first owned by Israel. The Palestians are the ones who are trying to take land that is not theirs.
