"There is no such country as Palestine! 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria."
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, to the Peel Commission, 1937
The reason for the conflict between Israel and the Arabs is that the Arabs, plain and simple, refuse to accept a Jewish state in their midst. They invented this whole idea of a "Palestinian people who deserve a state" just to use as a tool to dismember Israel.
Prior to partition, Palestinian Arabs did not view themselves as having a separate identity. When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to choose Palestinian representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, the following resolution was adopted:
"We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic and geographical bonds."
Article 24 of the Palestinian National Charter: "This Organization does not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, [or] on the Gaza Strip..." Article 26: "The Liberation Organization... does not interfere in the internal affairs of any Arab states."
These excerpts from the Palestinian National Charter, as it was formulated in 1964 by the inaugural convention of the Palestinian National Council in Cairo (where the Palestinian Liberation Organization was founded) are of significant consequence, for they point to a fundamental fallacy in the authenticity of the Palestinian claims for national self-determination.
As can be seen, they explicitly eschew any claims of sovereignty in the territories of Judea and Samaria (the "West Bank") and the Gaza Strip, which they openly concede to the jurisdiction of the Jordanians and the Egyptians respectively.

At the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a dispute over land and borders.
It started in 1948 when Israel was created,by a UN resolution,in Palestine,which at that time was under a British mandate.The Arab countries around didn't accept the decision and the next day they attacked the new created state.Israel won this war.In 1967 Israel attacked Syria,Egypt and Jordan in a pre-emptive war.They occupied and annexed to Israel Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank of the Jordan River (including East Jerusalem), and the Golan Heights.Millions of Palestinians ended up living in UN's refugees camp in Lebanon
There are 3 UN resolution that ask Israel to end the occupation on the Palestinians territories and the other territories that they occupied in 1967 ,but the Israelis refuse to do it...
Since then Palestinians are living under Israeli occupation and they are refused even the elementary rights any human should have... And there are millions of Palestinians living in UN's refugees camps...Israel refuses to let those people come back to their lands...

That started in 1947 "the partition of Palestine". The borders of historical Palestine (before 1947) are the mediterranean from the west, and Jordan river from the east. Palestine (27,000 km2) was partitioned into to states (the Jewish state). (Israel) got 56% of Palestine's area, the other was called (the Arab state) it got the rest. Jerusalem was with the UN. Ask yourself this question: " woul you accept to give a part of your land to a foreigner??". They just seized the land according to (Billfor) promise -Britain's foreign minister- who promised the Jews to mount them in Palestine. Then, in 1948, Britain withdrawed from Palestine and let the Zionist gangs (Haganna,...) do their business on the coast of Mediterranean sea in Palestine, they were killing people with no regret. Many Palestinians fled to neighbour countries (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan). Then in 1967, Israel went into war with The Arab countries. Israel won the war in 6 days which leaded them to occupy Siina peninsula (Egypt) , Golan hights (Syria) and the west bank (the part of historical Palestine which was ruled by Jordan). After that, the entire lands of Palestine were seized by Israel. You know, each occupier has his own policy to make the native people suffer, I will mention some of which:
1) Building Jewish settlements on the lands of Palestinians, by seizing more lands and demolishing houses.
2) Killing people, taking them us as prisoners....let's not forget about how Israel "TUTOR" them, (soo creepy to remember).
3) Trying to wipe the history and culture of Palestine through demolishing historical sites and holy places. Interfering with school curriculums.
The most prominent policies of Israel against Palestinians after 2000, are:
1) Building the racist seperation wall.
2) Tearing down houses, cutting down the trees and seizing lands to build settlments.
3) The most cruel are (Israeli barriers) in The west bank (5000 Km2 now) there are 400 Israeli barriers. We wait on those barriers for hours and hours.
And so on, the most things I remember are the ones which old people tell me especially my grandmother about crimes of Israel.
Now, Israel is killing Palestinians on daily basis using internationally forbidden weapons. But when the Palestinians try to defend themselves and fight back, the whole world call them Terrorists. Israel doesn't even accept the UN's orders. That's why there is a conflict between us and Israel.
Why don't we think about if the Jews stayed in Europe, there would be peace over there. One incident changes the fate of a whole nation (Palestine).

The combat has no longer something to do with Israel. i understand that sounds unusual, yet while there replaced into no Israel then Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon could be struggling with over the land in basic terms like Saddam invaded Kuwait and Iraq and Iran are continuously struggling with.

The shortest answer to that question is land. Israelis and Palestinians both claim to have birthrights to the same piece of territory, and neither side believes it should have to share it with the other.
