Like the above poster said, they aren't against each other. The Israelis are against the Palestinians. Palestine is muslim, Israel is Jewish. Israel is the holiest land in the world for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. It has been this way for thousands of years.
In 1949, the nation of Israel was created and set aside for the jewish people. Within the next 15 years, several wars were fought b/w Israel and neighboring countries like palestine and Egypt, because Israel was created by drawing lines on a map.
The current struggle stems from the fact that Palestine harbors terror groups such as hamas and hezbolla. Israel is trying to stop these groups from entering Israel and killing Israelis.

JEWS are not against Palestinians. And Palestinians are not against JEWS (that would be really stupid if it were true). you mean ISRAELIS not Jews! anyway we (i am a Jew not that it matters, and an Israeli) are against each other because of both of "our" land. they think it's theirs and we think it is ours. But, allot of other reasons are popping up. And anyway not all Palestinians are against all ISRAELIS.
