what are the israeli palestine people actually fighting for?

They want control of the same piece of land.  Each has a religious tradition and a history which includes land that is occupied by the other.  Complicating things is the scarcity of water and access to trade routes, and the fact that Palestinians resent being moved off their land by the British, who controlled that area, to make room for a Jewish homeland at the end of WWII, and the Jews resent everybody, having been oppressed and without a country for so many years while living in Europe, Russia, the Ottoman empire, and elsewhere.

Palestinians are absolutely right and fighting for their survival in their own homeland.

the user named 80yearsleft, what does this gotta do with Somalia? Dumb @ass.\n\nI think Palestinians should have the SAME firepower as Israelis and fight. However, I think the weapons should come from fellow Arabs and help their own people in Palestine and STOP fearing the Israelis and Americans. Who cares if the world ends, DON'T LET your people embarrassed and killed, while you make trillions of dollars of oil revenues.

I don't have to open them to remind me once again why I do not support Israel.I do not support Israel's policy when it comes to Palestinians and the surrounding countries...Israel is killing hundreds of people saying is just "defending itself"...From who?From children who throw rocks at the Israeli tanks?\nIn the last 4 months in Gaza more than 220 Palestinians have been killed(most of them civilians ;militants who were not involved in any "terrorists" act),while only 2 Israeli soldiers have been killed,one from "friendly" fire...\nIsrael is occupying Palestinian's land illegally.there are 3 UN resolution that ask for the creation of a Palestinian state that Israel totally ignores...And the worst thing is that no one can do anything to make them apply those resolutions...\nSo as long as Israel thinks it's above the law more people are going to die there and millions of Palestinians will never come back to their land...

To see Israel as an innocent attempting to live peacefully in a neighbourhood of thugs requires intellectual dishonesty and to claim that the Israelis had their backs to the wall and were forced into the destruction, measured beyond all proportion, of property and human beings in Lebanon and Gaza requires the moral lassitude inherent in imperial civilization.\nHezbollah did not exist before the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The culprit then was the PLO, and then, as now, Israeli self-defence was the excuse behind a cynical attempt to destroy Palestinian nationalism and secure land for annexation in the West Bank. \nRecently, there were two daring attacks against military targets and Israeli soldiers were captured by Hamas and Hezbollah. These attacks happened because Israel and its patron refused to accept the results of the Palestinian election. \nOf course, before Hamas was elected, there was simply no partner for peace. Translation: There is no Palestinian leadership that will accept the injustice the Israelis want to impose.

are we on a losing holy war kick today?\na very small percentage of Jews are against Zionism. In fact these Jews are Islamic sympathizers.  they basically beilieve they have a better shot a survival if they side with the muslims. Zionism is a term created by and used as propaganda by anti-semitics and muslims. It is used to degrade the jews who have taken back there land and are fighting to keep it. \nThis was the same term used in nazi germany to eradicate the jews. It is the term used by muslims who wanna eradicate the jews.  \nall I can say is that any jew who opposes so called zionism is a traitor to there people. it would be the same as if a ethnic man in america cited with the KKK.

Good question,   Bush and Blair made up their own warped minds over Iraq didn't they.\n\nMy main concern is that Palestinians are labelled terrorists\nbut not Israel who people seem to think are the good guys.\n\nI personally think Israel's actions over stealing Palestinian land and their apartheid regime constitute terrorism of the Palestinian nation.\n\nAlso what about Mugabe, he has terrorised his own country.

Oh well they also claim that Palestinians are not people and therefor have no right to the land. \n No I would not be willing to give up my land. Palestine should have accepted the land they were offered by the UN in 1948 instead of being so stubborn about it. I am not saying the UN was right to create Israel out of someone eles land, but it would have solved alot of problems.\n Oh no don't get me wrong I completely sympathize with the Palestinian people. Israeli soldiers cross into Palestinian land and kidnap their government leaders and put them in jail claiming they are terrorists. No No No not for one second do I believe Israel to be in the right. \n I just think given the way the world works Palestine should have accepted a compromise, Im not sure if that would have even mattered since the Zionist regime in Israel has stated that they will not be happy until they control the entire middle east.

Didn't Palestine make it's choice?  They chose a leadership that refuses to give up it's stated goal of "driving Israel into the sea".  You want them to stand still, continue to be attacked, while Palestine and the rest of Islam holds up a paper governement whose onlyt goal is to say, "Don't attack me, I didn't attack you!  It was individuals!  And you can't attack within my country without me saying so!"\n\nWho are we kidding?  The U.S. offered help because Islam wants to dominate the world, always has.  Israel has kept to their borders (pretty much, and when they didn't, like the Suez canal, we jumped on them to move out!).  Israel has no stated goal to destroy any other nation.  Israel has been repeatedly attacked after every cease fire by Palestine which cannot control it's own people.  If Palestine won't control it's own people, Israel cannot do less than retaliate against a government that through it's own inept and criminally negligent behavior allows attacks on neighboring regions.

They are a bunch of pansies.  They rather kill thousands of innocent civilians then actually fight.

there are no palestinians.. that is simply a made up name for ARABS who are no different than any-other arabs in anyway.. no differnt language, culture, history, even religions, \nThe jews did not invade the land, it is jewish land, and jews have lived there continiously for 3300 years, long before arab/muslim occupiers came.. \nWhere was your condemnation from 48-67 when arabs occupied the lands you now claim for yet another arab state? \nThere has never been a country, nation, state, called palestine EVER in all history.\narabs/muslims need to stop attacking israel and this war will end!\nThis is simply one of many worlwide wars by islam against non-muslim neighboors

Have I seen what Israel has done with Palestinians?  Yep- shown unbelievable restraint considering the provocation!  Considering the suicide bombers, the daily rocket attacks, the continued attempts to infiltrate terrorists into Israel- the Palestinians are exceptionally lucky that Israel hasn't behaved the way other countries have in the past and walked in- flattening everything and evryone in its path to get rid of the threat to its people!\n\nOn top of that- it is now coming out that it may have been from an explosive device on the beach-rather than from an artillery shell- in otherwise a hidden terrorist weapon exploding accidently!  And that is more than feasible since during Israel's occupation of Gaza a lot of weaponry and explosives was smuggled into Gaza via the sea.\n\nThe only animals here arre the sick terrorists that use civilians areas from which to stage their attacks- and thus putting civilians at risk when Israel defends itself- the only sick animals are the terrorists that use civilians as shields- and then capitalise on the deaths they have caused- using them to glorify their sick, demented aims!

Israel is not to blame Muslims' assisted by most of the world press, will twist the story. Anyone who deliberately enters a battle zone to protect combatabants on 1 side is asking to get shot. I think they deserve Darwin awards.

Wasting? I'm afraid you're mistaken. They freed Afganistan from the oppressive Taliban, They freed Iraq from the Tyrant Hussien, and they are helping Isreal fight for the land that belongs to it.

If that was the goal, they could have done it long ago.  No, the Israelis want nothing more than to live in peace and prosperity with all of their neighbors, including going so far as to create a new country out of their own land for the palestinians.  Unfortunately, this desire is completely one-sided.

So many times Israel got away with murder because US has vetoed every single sanctions against it...So it is because of the support of US and the silence of UN...This is their idea of justice...\nWhile Israel's crimes are called "self defense",the Palestinians fighting for liberty will be called "terrorists"...because they don't have the full support of the most powerful country in the world:USA...\nNo one will ever accuse Israel of deliberately killing civilians.even if they do...\nIn the last 6 months there were 400 Palestinians and 3 Israelis killed...
