Answer 1

When the State of Israel was reborn in 1948, the "Palestinians" did not exist yet, the Arabs had still not discovered that "ancient" people. They were too busy with the purpose of annihilating the new Sovereign State and did not intend to create any Palestinian entity, but only to distribute the land among the already existing Arab states. They were defeated. They attempted again to destroy Israel in 1967, and were humiliated in only six days, in which they lost the lands that they had usurped in 1948. In those 19 years of Arab occupation of Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip, neither Jordan nor Egypt suggested to create a "Palestinian" state, since the still non-existing Palestinians would have never claimed their alleged right to have their own state... Paradoxically, during the British Mandate, it was not any Arab group but the Jews that were known as "Palestinians"!

By the beginning of the 20th century, the population of Judea and Samaria - the improperly called "West Bank" - was less than 100,000 inhabitants, of which the majority were Jews. Gaza had no more than 80,000 "native" inhabitants in 1951, at the end of Israel's Independence War against the whole Arab world. Gaza was occupied by Arabs: How is it possible that in only 50 years it has increased from 80,000 to more than one million people? Are all those Arabs of Gaza so skilful as to procreate children in a supernatural way? Mass immigration is the ONLY plausible explanation for such a demographic increase. The Arab occupation between 1948 and 1967 was an advantageous opportunity for Arab leaders to promote mass immigration of so-called "Palestinians" (a mishmash of Arab immigrants) into Judea, Samaria and Gaza from every Arab country, mainly Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. In fact, since 1950 until the Six-Day War, under Jordanian rule, more than 250 Arab settlements have been founded in Judea and Samaria. The recent construction of the Arab houses is quite evident by the materials used for building: concrete and cinderblock. The Israeli government admits to have allowed over 240,000 workers to enter Judea and Samaria through the border with Jordan since the Oslo Conference - only to have them stay in those territories as Arab settlers. The actual numbers are probably higher. If hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern migrant workers are flooding into the Judea, Samaria and Gaza, why should Israel be required to provide them jobs? In fact the reverse, by supporting their economy while these people refuse to accept Israeli or Jordanian citizenship, Israel is only attracting more migrant workers. Saudi Arabia in a single year expelled over 1,000,000 stateless migrant workers. Lest anyone think that these are all "Palestinians", taking account of the definition of "Palestinian" according to the United Nations: all those Arabs that spent TWO YEARS in "Palestine" before 1948, and their descendants - with or without proof or documentation -. This definition was specifically designed to include immigrant Arab settlers (not Jewish settlers!).

Another of the big lies that are being passed off as truth by politics and mass media is the "Palestinian refugees" issue: the allegedly "native" population that were "evicted" by the Israelis. Actually, in 1948 the Arab so-called refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders, who promised to purge the Land of Jews. Almost 70 % of them left without having ever seen a single Israeli soldier.

On the other side, nothing is said about the Jewish refugees that were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution and pogroms. As soon as the State of Israel was founded, hundreds of thousands of Jews were expelled from every Arab country, mainly Yemen, Iraq and Egypt. The Mizrachim, also known as Babylonian Jews, were living in present-day Iraq since the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC, the Teymanim or Yemenite Jews were settled in the Sabean Kingdoms long before Roman times. Arabs have expelled them from the lands where those Jews were living for many centuries! The number of Arab so-called refugees that left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000, while the Jewish refugees that were forced out from Arab lands is estimated to be some more than that... Nevertheless, the UN has never demanded from Arab states to receive the Jews that were settled there for many generations and to restore their property and to provide them employment.

Meanwhile, the so-called Palestinian "refugees" were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab countries to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory (Israel's extension is less than 1% of the territory of all Arab lands). Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, the so-called Palestinians are the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own peoples' lands. On the contrary, Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel.

Answer 2

You're essentially asking for a history lesson! OK, hope this is helpful, I'll try and keep it brief!

In 1948 the land was partitioned; the British had the mandate and they gave half of it to the Muslims, and half to the Jewish refugees who had fled Europe because of the Holocaust.

Important: Arab refugees only began identifying themselves as 'Palestinian' in 1967, TWO DECADES after Israel was born.

After partition, the surrounding Arab nations declared war on the new Jewish state. They were told to leave their homes and villages in what was now Israel, or the Muslim half of the land, and the Arab neighbouring countries promised them they would invade and purge the land of Jews. 68 per cent of these Muslims left Israel without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.

The neighbouring Arab nations all then simultaneously invaded Israel. This was the 1948 War Of Independence. The Arab refugees who had left Israel were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into any of the Muslim lands to which they fled. Jordan put them in awful refugee camps. When Egypt controlled Gaza, she mined the borders so the refugees couldn't get out.

Thankfully, Israel managed to defend herself in this 1948 war - and also in the other wars, all also initiated by her Arab neighbours.

Any land Israel acquired after 1948, she got during these wars, and kept to secure her borders. Israel gave the Muslim refugees most of the West Bank and supplies them with free water, electricity, and builds new housing and schools.

This is far more than any Arab nation has ever done for the people we now call 'Palestinians'.

Answer 3

There have continually been Jews there--------via fact the time G-d took them into the land......that he gave them. There has in no way been a rustic called Palestine, till the final couple of years, whilst Israel gave Gaza and area of the West economic company to be Palestine. It advance into the Palestine Provence of the Romans, the area of Palestine conquered via the Crusades and later ruled via Saladin. Then got here the Ottomans, the British, and that i've got probable forgotten somebody. even whilst Babylon took the Jews into exile, there have been nevertheless many left. There have continually be Jews there, and that they called themselves the youngsters of Israel. that's their declare to the land.

Answer 4

Well let me explain you...The UN split Palestine giving Jews one part and Palestinians another part (of course for UN was not important that people used to live on that land for centuries )...Then it came the 1967 war,when Israel attacked three Arab countries occupying Gaza,West Bank,the Golan Heights and Sinai Peninsula,from Palestine,Egypt and Syria...The same UN declared this occupation illegal under international law...So Israel is occupying land that is not theirs...
