Since Abraham fathered two sons, half brothers, that went different ways and founded the two nations. More than 2 thousand, closer to 2,500 years ago

Talk to a pastor who is knowledgable about Revelations.  The war in the Middle East is all based on religion.  The Jews want to build a new temple mount in Jerusalem.  However the original plot of ground that the first temple was built is on there enemy territory.  So its a constant battle.  Think about it, this has been going on for centuries.  This is where the Antichrist is going to set up his reign.  After the temple is built, he will defile it three and a half years later.

Th whole world is sensitive about the holocoust not just Israel. The horrific crimes commited against the Jews by the natzi party was evil and it saddens all..\n\n        A little lesson in history:\n\nIsrael became a nation about 1300 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam. The people of modern day Israel share the same language and culture shaped by the Jewish heritage and religion passed through generations starting with the founding father Abraham. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.\n\nAfter the Romans conquered Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago, Jewish people were expelled and dispersed to the Diaspora, and the Land of Israel was ruled by Rome, by Islamic and Christian crusaders, by the Ottoman Empire, and by the British Empire.\n\nJews come from Judea, not Palestinians. There is no language known as Palestinian, or any Palestinian culture distinct from that of all the Arabs in the area. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians...\n\n For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem (1948-1967), they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit. \n\nIn the Jewish Bible, Jerusalem is mentioned over 669 times and Zion (which usually means Jerusalem, sometimes the Land of Israel) 154 times, or 823 times. The Christian Bible mentions Jerusalem 154 times and Zion 7 times. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran. Jerusalem is also not mentioned in the Palestinian Covenant. \n\nKing David established the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the whole Land of Israel. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. \n\n   The Arab nations initiated four wars against Israel:\n\n1948 War of Independence \n1956 Sinai War \n1967 Six Day War \n1973 Yom Kippur War \nIsrael defended itself each time and won. After each war Israeli army withdrew from most of the areas it captured (see maps). (see Camp-David Accords). This is unprecedented in World history and shows Israel's willingness to reach peace even at the risk of fighting for its very existence each time anew.\n\n The Palestinians have made no effort for peace, Still they terrorize with their suicide bombers. They were give more land and it still isnt enough..I have come to the conclusion that they just enjoy violence and they in no way want peace..I look upon the actions of the palestinians with saddness because I think they have the same intentions as Adolph Hilter..

let see in 1949 the Jewish nation was redrawn by the international community. then in the 1960's palestine and other middle east countries decided that the Jewish people should be driven into the sea. the nation of Isreal fought back and won driving the palestine people out. so they fought a war and won the land. if you live in Americia are you willing to give your house back to the native Americans? because that is what the argument boils down to.

This is a thorny question one that no one has found an acceptable compromise to. The begining or Israeli and Palestinian strife came around the end of World War 2. Before then the state of Israel was not even in existance but through lobbying by prominent jews in America and due to a British promise to set up a homeland for displaced European Jews, the state of Israel was founded in Palestine in the British Mandate. Isreal has based this on the pretext that Isreal is the promised land that Moses led the Jewish tribes to after the Exodus and during the time of Babylon and Rome the people were once again exiled by the new conqurers and this the Jews have been a displaced people within Europe ever since. One argument that Israel was founded illegally on land that has already been inhabited by Arabs and thus they are the occupying force and displacing the Arabs. Israelis content that it is their right to have a homeland in the promised land and thus justified for occupation. The animosity intensified after Israel declared independance and thus 6 adjacent Arab states declared war to prevent the formalization of a Zionist state in the Midst of an Arab sea. Isreal prevaled and even captured larger tracts of territory which included the Sinai Peninsular from Egypt, Golan Heights from Syria and small tracts from lebanon. The Yom Kippur War later was proven to be a Israeli victory. Finally Egypt sign a peace treaty through the Camp David Accord whereby Sinai was returned to Egypt and formal recognization of Isreal was acknowledge. At present Palestine consists of the Gaza strip and the West Bank, Jerusalem is still a contested site whereby both states claim it as their capital. Years of infighting from the Hezbollah led by Yasser Arrafat which uses guerilla tactics and suicide bombers targetting US and Israeli sites have seen retaliation by Israel through forced demolition and targeted killing of 'terrorists/freedom fighters'. Also zealots and ultra orthodox jews erecting squatters within clearly marked territories belonging to the Palestine has caused frictions. To date both sides are still at war and peace accords don't last as seen by the last roadmap to peace initiative. It would seem only a miracle would unite these two foes together in peace.

The conflict in the Middle East goes back to the 1920s, when the first major influx of Russian and European Jews occurred.  Eventually, by the time Israel was officially founded, a great  deal of animosity already existed between the Palestinian Arabs and the Zionists.  In 1948 alone, Jews destroyed over 400 Arab villages and towns, killing the inhabitants or driving them away and either demolishing the towns or taking them over for Jewish settlements.  The eviction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes was the beginning of the Palestinian refugee camps. This is what I believe is the root cause of the present terror.  The Jews brought it upon themselves by their genocidal acts against the Palestinian people.  Even today the Jews make it a regular practice to destroy the Palestinian infrastructure, bulldozing olive groves, cutting Palestinian places in two with their walls and barriers, and destroying residences.  By any normal definition it is genocide, but for the rest of the world it is not proper to say much bad against the Jews, a practice that has to stop.  \n\nThe Jewish lobby in the US is causing billions of US taxpayer dollars to be diverted to Israel so the Israelis can buy tanks, helicopters and missiles to use against the Palestinians.\n\nIsrael will be destroyed not by suicide bombers but by a declining birth rate. The Arabs will overtake them and wipe them out, not by war, but by sheer numbers.

The Jew-Palestine conflict is more about land than religious beliefs.  The fight goes back to biblical times - to the story of Jacob and Esau (brothers).  Jacob stole Esau's birthright (blessings, land, etc) by deceiving their father.  \nEverything was passed to Jacob (from whom the Isrealites descended), including the land that now belongs to Isreal.  The Palestinians descended from Esau, and believe that the land rightfully belongs to them.  This is why extremists don't recognize Isreal as a valid State.  \nThis is of course a very simplified explination of this incredibly complicated situation.

arabs, palestines, are right. providing evidence huh?.. i just have a little story. after israel occupied palestine (we all know how that went) i red some months ago this article which said that mothers and children, in palestine, were going to the soko, that is.. market, to buy food because the israeles had allowed them to go out at that particular time, but it seems some soldiers weren't updated so they started to shoot them and killed many. i also recalled alledgendary "suicidal blowups terrorist boys" who said they were told by the israeli army to confess that just for political propaganda. israelis are commiting genoside and as far as i concern, it's not even their land -but of course, england and us always playing world judges- and that's the result. more than 20 children below twelve are murdered every day.. and no1 who does that could ever be right "they fight with tanks and M16s and we only have our bodies to blow up " said one terrorist woman. i think it pretty much sums it all up. love . dani

Following World War II, the British withdrew from their mandate of Palestine, and the UN partitioned the area into Arab and Jewish states, an arrangement rejected by the Arabs. Subsequently, the Israelis defeated the Arabs in a series of wars without ending the deep tensions between the two sides. The territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war are not included in the Israel country profile, unless otherwise noted. On 25 April 1982, Israel withdrew from the Sinai pursuant to the 1979 Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty. Israel and Palestinian officials signed on 13 September 1993 a Declaration of Principles (also known as the "Oslo accords") guiding an interim period of Palestinian self-rule. Outstanding territorial and other disputes with Jordan were resolved in the 26 October 1994 Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace. In addition, on 25 May 2000, Israel withdrew unilaterally from southern Lebanon, which it had occupied since 1982. In keeping with the framework established at the Madrid Conference in October 1991, bilateral negotiations were conducted between Israel and Palestinian representatives and Syria to achieve a permanent settlement. On 24 June 2002, US President BUSH laid out a "road map" for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisions a two-state solution. However, progress toward a permanent status agreement was undermined by Palestinian-Israeli violence between September 2000 and February 2005. An agreement reached at Sharm al-Sheikh in February 2005 significantly reduced the violence. The election in January 2005 of Mahmud ABBAS as the new Palestinian leader following the November 2004 death of Yasir ARAFAT, the formation of a Likud-Labor-United Torah Judaism coalition government in January 2005, and the successful Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip (August-September 2005), presented an opportunity for a renewed peace effort. However, internal Israeli political events between October and December 2005 have destabilized the political situation and forced early elections, scheduled for March 2006.

No one ever talked about "Palestine" until the mid-1960's. Until then, all the Arabs ever talked about was annexing the land into Syria/Jordon/Egypt.\n\nBut I have good news. There is a Palestine. It's called Jordon.\n\nEDIT:lol @ Global's non answer. All he needs is a few quotes from the fake "Protocals of the Elders of Zion" and he'd be all set.

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

Well, the land was won by Israel after they were ATTACKED by Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.  Due to the ancient rite of war it's their land.  And obviously you haven't paid any attention to the news since Israel has given control of the land that they won back to the Palestinians

Long before Israel existed. Arabs have been committing mass murder against Jews at least since the 20's.
