Why give the ARABS more land (Palestinain State)?

Question

Israel is a very small country, less than half the size of San Bernardino County, California. Its Jewish population is approximately 3.5 million, just about the population of Iowa. Compare that to the 22 Arab states, armed to the teeth, and virtually all of them in a state of war with Israel. They have over 140 million inhabitants and a land area larger than that of the United States. From its founding, Israel had to fight every day for its very survival. Of course this has been no problem because the Arabs live in 10 b.c.


Do Muslims needs more land? Look what they have done with the land they have? It's like a GIECO Caveman Commercial. Why not leave the only advanced society in the Middle East alone?

"Wasn't the land that now makes up Israel taken from the Palestinians?"

The Palestinains are actually Syrains and Jordanese. Jews have always been in Israel.

Answer 1

this is a very hard question to answer and the arguments for it is that after the ottoman empire declined people made agreements that none were held up two. Balfour declaration stated a "jewish homeland" but the Husien-machon promised arabs a "arab independence" note that "jewish homeland" didn't state a jewish country. note that if you read the Husien-Machon correspondence Machon didn't mention palestine as part of the deal for the arabs rising up agianst ottomans.Arabs say that israel drove them out of their country and Isreal says they didn't. both sides have some truth to it.

Answer 2

To answer the first responder, the fact it the area that the Palestinians claim was an area that was part of the Ottoman Empire, taken as a mandate by the Brits with Jordan, calling the mandate Trans-Jordan. There was a promise made at the creation of the Mandate that the Jews would be allowed into a very empty area. Slowly the Jewish population grew, and then the camp survivors came as best they could and a state was requested. The Brits tried to stop the entry of Jews into the area, and finally, the British allowed the partition of Palestine, into two states. Arab and Jew. The UN voted for its creation and the State of Israel was born. The Arab states told the Arabs in the area to vacate so the Jews could be driven into the sea. They left. Of course you know Jews won. They claimed areas that they occupied as of the cease fire imposed by the UN. Those are the borders of Israel. The West Bank was occupied after the 1967 war, along with Gaza and Sinai. Then in the 1973 Yom Kippur war, the Egyptians crossed the Suez Canal and finally a treaty with Israel and Egypt was signed. Five million Jews live in that area. Jordan refused to let the Palestinians in Jordan because they feared what happened to Lebanon would happen to them. So, the Jews should keep the post 1947 areas and return the rest. I say that as Jew. The cost of a Palestinian state should be peace.

Answer 3

erm i ancutally think that u are supporting israel for some reason but israel havnt been there its a raw fact that place has always belonged to the palestinanians.here are some other facts:Area
- Total 1 20,770 / 22,072 km² (151st)
8,019 / 8,522 sq mi
- Water (%) ~2%
Population
- 2007 estimate 7,184,0002[2] (96th)
- 1995 census 5,548,523
- Density 324 /km² (34th)
839 /sq mi
Plus the UN proposed that a small part of palestine would be given to the jews but the arab league rejected it so technically jewish state shouldnt even be there but they declared the independence on its own and forcefully taken palestanian land and since then after the wars israel kept increasing its borders and its it ironic when israel is "supposed to have" a small potion of palestine now posses over 80% of their land.Israel not only posses palestine lands but also syrian and lebanese. And palestine doesnt represent 22 arab state so they should atleast have their land back and its not right to overthrow somebody and make them refugee and take the land on our own.
at least israel should keep the land UN planned for them and return the rest.
And israel arent at risk if u think that way, its neighboring countries are cause israel keeps atking them and violates their land and airspace continuesly.

Plus arabs and muslims arent the same there are alot of arab christians too.And arabs didnt make it a religious factor the jews and some christians keep mentioning that "God gave them the land and other crap"

Answer 4

Em.....gee that was strong. When Britain 'gave' that land for the jewish people to have a place to go after WWII, they gave them a portion. Since then, the people of Israel have kept the Palestinian people in refugee camps and taken more and more land. No one stops them or enforces the UN Rules put upon them. Before Israel became a country, the people of PALESTINE (all faiths) got along just fine.

So, when you beat a dog enough, it will bite back. Hence the PLO came along, much like the IRA did in Ireland. Much like the people of America did for freedom from Britain.
Also, the Israels are more armed to the 'teeth' than the rest and they are armed by US as in United States.

That is why the people of that land do not like us. We protect Israel so we are closer to the oil. Did you know there are more jewish people in NY and Fl than Israel?? So if the Russians or Koreans want to arm others we get pissed, but lets not forget we are arming people too.

As for advanced? The people of that area were the most advanced in the world, read the history. Israel is only there since 1947, they are advanced as we give them.

PS. If I wrote the bible I would chose me as the chosen people too hehehe

Answer 5

Well I'm not a Muslim or a Jew, but i guess that the Palestinians have right to their land, don't forget that the Jews were once considered stateless people, then they and came to Palestine and took over their land, to what they call Israel now. If it wasn't bad enough the Israelis continued their Zionist teaching, that is they are the chosen race, and treat others like unfairly, that's why some Arab nations can't get along with Israel. You better do some surfing to get more facts about the Israel - Palestine conflict.

Answer 6

For ur info, as of now almost no arab state is in war with israel.
There syria and iran (who aint arab) are hostile towards israel and no arab countries have diplomatic relationship with israel for obvious reasons.I dont know if u are brainwashed but as an american i maintain my integrity and regardless of what some says, Palestine should not have been occupied by the israelis and palestanians dont deserve to go thro what they are going through for the past fifty years trust me u wouldnt like it either.I really dont understand why they have to support israel it dont do us anygood and our reputation in the worlds eyes degrades. i really hope ur next leader wont support israel in anyway whether by $$ or weapons.

Arabs and muslims arent same and israel aint the only advance society in ME. Matter of fact countries like U.A.E, qatar,kuwait are more advanced and there are plenty other countries who ae wealthier.Israel is what it is today only because of american support. Do u know about $3-4 billion of our taxes go to israel?
I am a christian but i dont believe that Israel should exist and palestinians should suffer because "GOD says the land belongs to israel"

Answer 7

Wasn't the land that now makes up Israel taken from the Palestinians?

Answer 8

THE LAND THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO MUSLIMS BELONGS TO ISRAEL.....THIS LAND WAS GIVEN TO ABRAHAM'S PEOPLE AND ABRAHAM IS JEWISH....GOD CHOSE ABRAHAM.....YOU CANNOT GIVE LAND AWAY THAT GOD GAVE ISRAEL!!........
