It is the site of ancient Philistia. It is currently blockaded on all sides by a hostile power backed by a powerful nation. Wouldn't it have better protection and guaranteed rights under international law as a declared independent state named Palestine? What would the pros and cons be under international law?

the palestinians should never compromise with israel. israel has violated 71 UN resolutions. saddam only violated 17. israel is a joke. i have been to lebanon twice. i have seen the truth. anybody who supports israeli terrorism will burn in hell right next to the suicide bombers that have attacked israel. two wrongs never make a right. look around you. the jews control america. cnn, fox, abc, cbs, nbc, msnbc; every ceo of those news agencies are jews. you have to always consider the source when you get your news. have you ever wondered why it is that we can't get other countries' news.
arabs had nothing to do with jewish destruction in 132 AD, nor did they have anything to do with nazi germany during world war II. why should the palestinians and other arab countries just pack up their stuff and do as the jews wish. the jews are no more special than anyone else. obviously their promise of the holy lands were broken when they denied their messiah. how do i know their promise was broken you wonder? they were killed, raped, sold in slavery and forced into exile by the roman empire. nowhere did the arabs do anything to the jews. i root like hell against the zionist pigs. if they had not been terrorizing arabs for the last 60 years, i would feel differently.
the jews can in no way think that after being gone for almost 1800 years just walk in and reclaim land they believe was promised to them by a god they turned their backs on and just assume the arabs should do whatever they wish. this land is the palestinians land. they had nothing at all to do with anything that has been pushed on the jews throughout history.
what is a shame is how the arabs allowed the jews and christians to remain jews and christians even after the jewish exile in 132 AD. everyone says that muslims want to convert the whole world or kill them. this is a lie. how else can you explain the jews and christians who lived their for 1800 years while the jews fled their "promised" land.
if god was on their side, how is it they were forced to leave their "promised" land for 1800 years? i mean if they were so special and holy, how could they not trust in their god? because their religion is a lie. and now the arabs have to pay for the sins they never committed.

they can't pull off a two state solution,don't expect a three state solution. The only way there will ever be a peaceful solution is when both sides agree to treat each other as fellow human beings. To those that say there is no Palestine,they are in the same class as those that deny the holocaust

Well first, international law means nothing, except after you conquor a country and want to execute some of its people for fighting against you, or for meaningless posturing at the UN. Second, if the people of the Gaza Strip declared independence, Israel would yawn or laugh and either ignore them, or squash the rebellion. Nothing would be done about it either since the US would have to vote against Israel and for military action against them in the UN security council. Basically, they are at the mercy of the Isrealis, and unless Israel did something bad enough for us to withdraw support, no one will be able to effectively attack them in the near future.

It is captured territory -- and throughout the history of warfare, once a country captures territory during a war, that winning country can keep the territory under it's control until the winning country decides to give it up.
Should Israel give up the territory -- that's subjective -- but let's say yes -- whether it becomes an independent state or goes back to who it was claimed from is the next issue.

Weel "What on eaaarth is going on and who's land is it?" Arabs lived on it. Now Jews live on it. "What did Obama do to piss everyone off?" Wants a 2 state solution. "Where so Israelis want Palestinians to go?" Out of the land. "What does Jordan have to do with it?" Jordan is next to Israel. They have a treaty now. "Did Palestinians ever live in peace with Jews and Arabs?" I personally think so, before this whole country mess. Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived on the land. "Where are Palestinians expected to live? Is it too small for them?" Israel doesn't care. And I wish other Arab countries would care a bit more. It is small. "Why can't both stay?" They both hate eachother. Hamas wants Jews out, "The settlements that Obama said was illegal, who's is it? What is it?" Israel built illegal settlements in the West Bank. "What was wrong in Obama trying to make both sides happy? What did he do wrong?" He did no wrong, he's doing good. (: "Was it the British who started this whole conflict? " Hmmm, they had a hand in it.

Well nothing has prevented the Palestinians from declaring statehood for the last 60 years.
Other than, they want to include the nation of Israel, inside thier state.
Israel wasn't in either the westbank, gaza or jesuralem from 1948 to 1968.
The palestinians could have easily declarded statehood during those years.
Even today, the Palestinians could declare statehood, but they do not.
So you need to ask, just why the palestinians are not declaring statehood ?
For what purpose ?
They don't need israel's or the US's permission to do so.
