Why are the Jews allowed to kill Palestinians for the stolen land and how long will it continue? After all, was there an Israel before 1948? And who permitted the occupation?

It will continue until the United States stops backing Israel. We are the only country in the world that consistently vetoes U.N. resolutions against Israel and refuses to recognize the human rights violations there. Although virtually the entire world backs the Palestinians, the situation will not change as long as the state of Israel is backed by America and as long as the American government is is controlled by the strong pro-Israeli lobby.
As has been the case in Northern Ireland, it is not in the nature of human beings to submit to a brutal occupation, so the fighting will continue as long as the injustice does.
But, yes, there was an Israel, the biblical Israel, loooong before 1948. According to the Talmud, God drove the Israelites from their land, forbidding them to take it back by force and condemning them to wander the Earth until the Messiah came. In my opinion (and in the opinion of many Jews who reject Zionism), it is for this reason that the current state of Israel does not have any biblical or religious claim to Palestine.
Finally, the Zionist occupation was permitted under the Balfour Declaration, as Britain was pulling out of Palestine. Since the British were not native to the land, their "sale" of it was unethical and invalid. You will hear people say that the Palestinians had no goverment and no formal country before 1948; however, that is a moot point. Is one's home not his home if he has no goverment to which he pays taxes? Did North America not belong to the Native Americans simply because they hadn't organized a multi-tribe government or contacted Europe to put themselves on the map? Propaganda is cheap and easy, particularly when used with people who are too lazy to think for themselves.
Yep, that's my opinion. But I'm an Irish-American, so I was raised to believe that a just cause is never lost as long as there are people who refuse to let the truth be forgotten.

Israel was around LONG before 1948, read something other than the Qu'ran once in awhile, and you might learn a history lesson!
Secondly, it can hardly be "stolen" land, when the Israelis are the true owners of that land. It was given to them by God, which is better authority than you!
Thirdly, there is no such thing as a "Palestinian". The so-called "Palestinians" that are there now are transplants from other Arab nations. None of them are originally from that land. Yassar Arafat claimed to be a "Palestinian", but that was a lie, he was born Egyptian. He's no more a Palestinian than I am a blasted Arab! If the Arabs truly cared about these people, why did they not provide refuge for them in THEIR countries? You know why? Because they keep them there so that they will be a rallying cry against the Jews. And these brainwashed Muslim idiots have been buying into this crap for decades. As long as these so-called Palestinians remain where they are, the fires against Israel will remain fueled, and the killings of innocent Jews will continue.
Get your history straight. Get your stories straight. And why don't you just admit it.......you hate Jews, and that is your motive for writing this kind of garbage.

It will never go on since there is no such thing as a "Palestinian genocide" except in the fevered imaginations of those who are rabidly against Israel.
You ask if there was an Israel before 1948. I'll ask you, was there a Palestine before 1948? And before you say "yes", I'll qualify that with "was there an independant state of Palestine controled by the local Arabs?" To that the answer is "no".
Now, if you still consider that an "occupation" I'll then ask you if you consider Jordan's control of the West Bank and "occupation"? If the answer is "no" then you contradict yourself. If the answer is "yes" then you are about the only one who thinks so.

Ignoring all of your rhetoric, Palestinians will stop being killed when they stop killing Israelis. Israel has consistently held out offers of peace and Palestinians have consistently tried to chop the hand off.

I would guess the killing will go on until the Palestinians are all dead... or the Jews are all dead... or both.!

Why? Because they can...it's stolen land! Don't they have the right to defend it?
