The Israel/Palestine Conflict Mk. IV

The simplicity of your response made me laugh for some reason. It's fair to say Jerusalem means a lot to the jews and it just so happened to be in palestine at the time.....
It's a long and complicated history going back thousands of years

Israel is only in this position because it fought many wars of survival to maintain itself. Israel totally controlled Gaza then pulled out and they voted in Hamas. So now Israel still controls the West bank and will continue to do so. Palestine isn't the victim and neither is Israel. There is no good or bad actor. Just currently Israel is in a dominant military position and uses it. I am not Jewish or anything like that. However I support the Jewish nation state of Israel and I believe Israel will takeover Gaza and West bank when the Jews are clearly the majority population.

its because palestine is a muslim country. the medias against Muslims and will never say the truth about whats actually going on and people blindly support israel without even knowing what the conflicts about simply cuz palestine is a muslim country.

If they do thats pretty sad since my research came to a conclusion of that the land is not acually theirs (jews) and they slowly invaded it and taken over it which is pretty bad

Yeah and? The Jewish control it or dominate it what are you going to do? As far as I am concerned the Jews fought for, took the land and have maintained themselves since 1948 so the land is their until someone takes it from them.

The Christians took the land from the Jews, the Muslims took it from the Christians, the British Empire took it from the Ottoman Empire. Whoever control the land and can maintain it should be their.

The jews will never be able to take the rest of the land and I can gurentee that.

What do you mean "kept to their own"?

Palestinian land shrinks every time the Arabs make war on Israel and lose. If the Palestinians had accepted the 1947 partition, they would today have a very substantial state. In fact, Israel and Palestine would have developed together and traded, and probably become quite prosperous.

Imagine if the Palestinians had accepted that, look at the map below, the entire yellow area would be theirs. Instead, the Arabs rejected the deal out of hand and attempted to seize 100% of the land by force

Yes they could have lived and traded together. But who said it was the Jews' land to claim. This picture shows the motive of the Jews.

The jews will never be able to take the rest of the land and I can gurentee that.

As if it wasn't obvious already from the website address, this page is filled with complete and total bull**** and should and must be completely discounted by anyone who has any pretense towards caring for truth. Not least is it's use of wholly fabricated and distorted quotations.

For example, it quotes Ben-Gurion as saying "We must expel the Arabs and take their place. But one needs and opportune moment to make it happen, such as a war."

What's the problem? Ben-Gurion didn't actually say this. The second sentence is made-up, the first one is lifted out of a Ben-Gurion quote which says the exact opposite:

"We do not wish, we do not need to expel the Arabs and take their place. All our aspirations are built upon the assumption — proven throughout all our activity in the Land — that there is enough room in the country for ourselves and the Arabs."

The rest is no more credible.

And yet the relationship between Israel and Palestine isn't... healthy. If the quote is from an unreliable source then fair enough but actions speak louder than words. Funny how Israel's relationship with the surrounding countries is as unhealthy as Palestine's. And there is still no denying the fact that Israel, like a spoilt child, gets away with far more than they should. Why? America. Israel is prosperous because they are a dependent country. And they are getting away with their actions towards Palestine. The Jews settled in a Muslim area. This was in a time when the global population wasn't even half of what it is now. There was space, just not in the Arab region.

The idea that an Anglophone Jewish New Yorker whose family has never set foot in the Middle East for at least several centuries is more indigenous to Israel/Palestine than a Palestinian who was born there as were his parents and ancestors for at least those same centuries is absurd and offensive.
