what is the origin of the conflict between the palestines and israel?

Answer 1

The claim over the land. Jews were persecuted from their land in the 1-2 centuries, and from the 1880s they started to migrate back. Palestine was a British territory, and they let the Jews in without much restriction, especially because of World War II. Palestinians started to become a minority in their own country, and they didn't like it obvioulsy. Later the Brits gave part of the land to the Jews, and in 1947 Israel was established. The surrounding Arab nations attacked her, but Israel successfully defended herself and even started an offensive gaining some extra territories. There were numerous other wars, there were terror attacks against Israel and many atrocities against Palestinians too.
The problem is that the boundaries of Israel have never been acknowledged by her neighbours, and that is the source of the conflicts. Naturally, by today the Israelis fight terrorists, and the Palestinians fight invadors...

Answer 2

In 1946 Palestine was under British occupation . The British under U.N. mandate left secular Palestine but not before exciting Jews. Secular Palestine was big and only nation in middle east where Jews,Arabs and Christians lived. While the British were leaving, Jews who had a terrorist group called Hagnah led by David Ben Gurian declared Israel an independent Jewish country. This move received moral and military support from U.S.A. whose presidents get elected with votes from American Jews.Palestinians suddenly became refugees and exiles in their native places. Palestinians lived in refugee camps of Lebanon for a generation. Since then Palestinians have been fighting for a home land.

Answer 3

confusing to describe in some words. In 1948 the Jews have been given a small piece of land stated as Israel. Many Arabs have been displaced and grew to alter into time-honored as Palestinians. Surrounding Arab international locations tried to rid the component to the Jews, yet failed. Time and time returned the Arab international locations tried to rigidity the Jews out. yet each and every time they lost the wars and Israel grew in length. The Palestinians pick their land back now, yet refuse to stay area by ability of area with the rustic of Israel. they only pick the Jews long gone and Israel to be not greater.

Answer 4

Palestinians are Muslim and Israelis are Jewish. That conflict started almost 1400 years ago with the origin of the Nation of Islam. It will continue as long as the two exist.

Answer 5

The conflict goes all the way back to the book of Genesis: Jews are the descendants of Isaac and Palestinians (as well as all other Arab nations) are the descendants of his older half-brother, Ishmael. They have been fighting each other ever since!

Answer 6

good question but i think it useless. the israelis will never stop until they get the whole israel and palestine.

Answer 8

god gave israel the land an the pales dont belive it

Answer 9

The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the account of events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict beginning in the 1880s and continuing to present day.

Origins
In the 1880s, the Zionist movement was initiated in Europe. This movement held that the Jewish people had a right to a state of their own; most Zionists specifically held that the state should be in a part of their historic homeland, the area then known as Palestine. At that time Palestine was a part of the Ottoman Empire. Under Ottoman rule, Palestine had substantial regional independence, and the area was inhabitated predominantly by Arabs(about 95%, mostly Muslims, some Christians), and Jews (about 5%).

In 1917 the British army took control of Palestine and Transjordan from the Ottomans. In that year, its government issued the Balfour Declaration, viewing "with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people ... it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". In the same period, the British were giving contradictory assurances to the Arabs.

The Zionists interpreted that as a promise from the British that they would help them build a state in Palestine, in part because of divided opinions in British government, with some endorsing that view and some not.


1918. Emir Feisal I and Chaim Weizmann (left, also wearing Arab outfit as a sign of friendship).Signed in January 1919, the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement promoted Arab-Jewish cooperation on the development of a Jewish National Homeland in Palestine and an Arab nation in a large part of the Middle East.

In 1920, the Sanremo conference largely endorsed the 1916 Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement, allocating to Britain the area of present day Jordan, the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea and Iraq, while France received Syria and Lebanon. In 1922, the League of Nations formally established the British mandate for Palestine and Transjordan, at least partially fulfilling Britain's commitments from the 1915-1916 Hussein-McMahon Correspondence by assigning all of the land east of the Jordan River to the Emirate of Jordan, ruled by Hashemite King Abdullah but closely dependent on Britain, leaving the remainder west of the Jordan as the League of Nations British mandate of Palestine.

Arabs opposed this externally enforced division of their lands into multiple territories under the control of various European powers as imperialist. Some of them — led by Grand Mufti Muhammed Amin al-Husseini (who was an ally of the Nazis) — also opposed the idea of turning part of Palestine into a Jewish state, objecting to any form of Jewish homeland. This was the source of much of the Palestinian and Arab resentment against British rule. It also extended to the growing number of Jews immigrating to Palestine.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a part of the greater Arab-Israeli conflict, is an ongoing conflict between the State of Israel and Palestinian Arabs.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a simple two-sided conflict with all Israelis (or even all Israeli Jews) sharing one point of view and all Palestinians another. In both communities, some individuals and groups advocate total territorial removal of the other community, some advocate a two-state solution, and some advocate a binational solution of a single secular state encompassing present-day Israel, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem.
Since the Oslo Accords, the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) have been officially committed to an eventual two-state solution. The main unresolved issues between these two bodies are:

The status and future of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem which comprise the areas for the proposed State of Palestine.
Israeli security and recognition of Israel's right to exist.
Palestinian security.
The nature of a future Palestinian state.
The fate of the Palestinian refugees.
The settlement policies of Israel, and the ultimate fate of settlements.
Sovereignty over Jerusalem's holy sites, including the Temple Mount and Western Wall complex.
The refugee issue arose as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The issue of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem arose as a result of the Six-Day War in 1967.

There has been both literal prolonged violent conflict, with various levels of intensity, and the underlying conflict of ideas, goals and principles. On both sides, there have at various times been parties who differ in the degree to which they advocate or use the violent tactics, active non-violence, etc. There are people who sympathize with the goals of one or the other side, without necessarily embracing the tactics that have been used on behalf of those goals; further, there are those who embrace at least some of the goals of both sides. And to refer to "both" sides is, itself, a simplification: Fatah and Hamas are far from agreement over goals for the Palestinians; the same could be said for the various Israeli political parties, even if discussion is limited to the Jewish Israeli parties.

The emblems of major Palestinian organizations include a map of present-day Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. (Significant populations of Palestinians and Israelis alike claim a right to the entire region).
Those qualifications mean that any rapid summary of the nature of the conflict is bound to be very partial. That said, those who advocate violent Palestinian resistance generally justify doing so as legitimate resistance to an illegitimate Israeli military occupation of Palestine supported by military and diplomatic assistance from the United States. Many tend to view the armed Palestinian resistance within the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a right granted by the Geneva conventions and the United Nations Charter, and some extend this view to justify attacks, frequently against civilians, within Israel proper. Another popular justification is based on Islamic (some call it Islamist) religious views.

Conversely, those sympathetic to Israeli military action and other Israeli measures against the Palestinians tend to view these actions as legitimate Israeli self-defense against a campaign of terrorism perpetrated by Palestinian groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and others, and supported by other states in the region and by the majority of the Palestinians, at least those Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens. Many tend to believe that the control of part or all of the territory is necessary for the security of Israel. This sharp contrast of views on the legitimacy of the actions of each party to the conflict has been a key obstacle to resolution.


A peace movement poster: Israeli and Palestinian flags and the words Salaam in Arabic and Shalom in Hebrew. Similar images have been used by several groups proposing a two-state solution to the conflict.One current peace proposal is the Road map for peace presented by the Quartet of the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States on September 17, 2002. Israel has also accepted the road map but with 14 "reservations". The current Palestinian government rejects the proposal. Israel is currently implementing a controversial disengagement plan proposed by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. So far, Israel has removed all of its civilian and military presence in the Gaza Strip, (namely 21 Jewish settlements there, and four in the West Bank), but continues to supervise and guard the external envelope on land excepting a border crossing with Egypt, which is jointly run by the Palestinian National Authority in conjunction with the European Union. Israel also maintains exclusive control in the air space of Gaza, and continues to conduct military activities, including incursions, in the territory. The Israeli government argues that "as a result, there will be no basis for the claim that the Gaza Strip is occupied territory", while others argue that the only effect would be that Israel "would be permitted to complete the wall [that is, the Israeli West Bank Barrier] and to maintain the situation in the West Bank as is" [1] [2]. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has stated that further unilateral withdrawals from some West Bank settlements may be undertaken if the peace process continues to be stalled.

With the unilateral disengagement plan, the Israeli government's stated intent is to allow Palestinians to create a homeland with minimal Israeli interference while extricating Israel from a situation it believes to be too costly and strategically unsound to maintain over the long run. Many Israelis, including a significant portion of Sharon's former Likud Party are worried that the lack of Israeli military presence in the Gaza Strip will lead to an increase in rocket launching activity towards Israeli towns around Gaza [citation needed].

Palestinians want Gaza and the West Bank to become part of a (preferably contiguous) future state. Since the Gaza withdrawal, the future of the West Bank (known to many Israelis as historical Judaea and Samaria), containing several hundred thousand Israeli settlers, is yet to be determined. Israel currently plans on expanding existing large West Bank settlement blocs, and maintains the current impasse in the peace process —negotiations toward a permanent peace treaty featuring a two-state solution— cannot be restarted until the Palestinian government dismantles what Israel describes as terrorist groups. This is further complicated by Hamas's victory in the latest Palestinian legislative elections.
