Answer 1

Mainly because that was never palestinian land. "Palestine" was a british mandate, before that it was part of the ottoman empire. never palestinian. so there is no "back." Those were BRITISH ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICTS, and neither the muslims nor the jews were big friends of the brits.

and they want (currently) parts of 8 of those: the districts with district seats in baysan, jinin, nablus, ramallah, jerusalem, hebron, gaza, al-ramza (others are partly east of the green line).

and some do want all of it back.. or do you not listen to the "chase them to the sea" rhetoric?

Answer 2

Palestine is an Arabian land. It was occupied by the Zionists in 1948, then they established their illegitimate state (Israel) on our lands. Many Palestinians were killed and many fled to Arab countries. That wasn't enough for Israel, in 1967, it extended the occupation to the West Bank and Gaza. Then in Oslo, the Palestinians gave Israel the right to exist, they did it because they were alone and had nobody to support them, even their Arab fellows. By doing this, the Palestinians thought that getting 22% of Palestine is better than getting nothing. The Palestinians didn't know their enemy well at that time, I mean they didn't know that Israel was deceitful and liar. So they recognized Israel hoping it may make a change. But, Israel violated Oslo accords by extending occupation, building settlements, tearing down Arab houses, especially in Jerusalem. And now, they want the Palestinians to respect Oslo accords again. Israel violates it when it wants and then asks us to make it valid when it coincides with it's benefits. All the Palestinians admit that Israel is existed on the Palestinain lands (occupied in 1948), Israel os here, whether we like it or not, but it's illegal and illegitimate. We learnt a lot from Oslo; Israel is a big liar that wants all our lands, the world is supporting Israel and Arabs don't even care. We are alone.

Answer 3

It's not only Gaza that they want back,the Palestinians want back today's West Bank as well...
After the Oslo accord the Palestinians recognized Israel's right to exist in the borders from 1967,giving up more then 70% of the land they were entitled after the partition plan...The only reason they did it was because they thought that this will finally bring peace and they hoped they could create their own state...

Answer 4

Orininally the land was mandated to be a Jewish homeland by the British government. Controlling all of modern day Israel and modern day Jordan, which would have been historically the Jewish homeland (Eretz-Israel). The U.N. though did not like the idea and instead created a Palestinian homeland which is Jordan, and Jordan is a Palestinian nation, and even created a seperate Palestinian-Arab nation within the modern day nation of Israel. The British accepted. The land has never once been arab land. It was Hebrew land until 73 A.D., then it was Roman land until 632 A.D. which was then controlled by the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks which are not arab peoples. Then finally in WWI the British conquered the land. Therefore the "Palestinian people" really have no historical claim to ever owning the land.
