Is there any right with palestinians?

Wasn't Palestine really a region and not a country?

of course the Palestinians have been oppressed as long as they can remember by the Israelites.\nthough the middle east conflict is too complex  to answer in just a few words, the bottom line is history proofs that Palestinians need to be in their own land while Israelites rely on religious (biblical) wishful thinking of  the promised land.

israel has a devine right to defend its land and people from palestinians (Palestinians = arabs who are arabs and not different in anyway)... Israel has been jewish land since before islam ever exsisted and long before arab/muslims came to the area. \nIs it a divine right for islam to keep on attacking israel, the one and only jewish nation?

Every person of any nationality has a right to live in peace. By simply stating Israel stole Palestinian land and using that as an excuse to fire unguided missiles or blow themselves up with the intent to murder indiscriminately is wrong. To not want Israel to live anywhere in the world is the goal of certain Palestinian groups. In fact, that is overwhelmingly the viewpoint. Only a few months ago Palestinians stated that peace could be obtained by Israel leaving Gaza. Now as you can see, there is no chance of that happening. If I were Israeli, I would build huge walls and not allow any Palestinians work visas. There is no chance of peace ever.

There is no Palestine.  The "Palestinians" want the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.  They are a terrorist group.  What is Israel's problem with them?  Simple...they kill Israeli's and are trying to take the country away from the Jewish people.

One must really lack basic compassion to call children, women and civilians, who have been under brutal occupation for 40 years thugs..\n\n..in regards to the question, it's not that they don't Want peace, they don't want FAIR peace. the roadmap was a way of achieving peace, as was Camp David as were Oslo talks.. however, what they entailed for ISrael, is total economic, military , socal Domination. For Palestinians, not a state, rather series of buntustan-like regions where they are allowed to exist. \n\nwhat is fair peace, well for starters, listen to international community. Many resolutions for fair peace has been proposed by the UN, 242 for example, which always receives the same vote: all the world for it- US and Israel against.\n\n*EDIT*\n\neven if you go with what the person above said, which for the most part, isn't really relevant, but lets go with it. and accept his argument..that Israel is righ towner of 'the promised land' as God said so..therefore his conclusion is, we can treat Palestinians as inhumenly as we like, kick them out of their homes and keep them in camps surrounded by a wall (sounds like ghettos to anyone?) just because they don't belong on this Holy land of ours. \n\nwell is this not the reason why Jews were persecuited and murdered all over Europe and in Holocaust in Germany..all because they did not belong there..\n\ntoday we Rightly condemn what has been done to Jews, how can we then not condemn when they are doing exctly the same things to Palestine today ..under the pretext of 'defense' or more recently ' War on Terror'.

Sheesh......talk about a difficult question!  First of all what do you mean by Palestine?  The Palestinian homeland is Jordan.  You haver to consider what each side wants and what each side fears.  We'll start with Israel.  What Israel wants is a safe and secure Israel, with an internal Jewish majority.  They don't want to have to rely on foreign powers for security...or even aid.  The Israeli policy towards Jerusalem and the occupied territories are all under intense debate as ways to achieve this end.  The real problem that Israel faces is their internal Muslim population outnumbering its jewish population due to higher birth rates.  Their biggest fear is surrendering land for peace....the Government they made a deal with being overthrown...and having attacks launched against them through invasion routes they gave back by new fanatic governments.  You have to remember that Israel came very close to destruction on several occasions....and that the stated goal of Hamas has always been to push jews into the sea.  The Palestineans want a homeland/country.  They are laregely secular/capitalist as a group...and better educated then any other region in the muslim mid-east.  Because of this they are seen as a threat by other nations in the Arab world.  This is why so many Arab nations pay lip service to the Palestinean cause....but do little for them.  In polls most Palestineans supported the peace proccess that Arafat began and then stopped with the Initifadah.  The recent election of Hamas had less to do with Israeli policy then it did with corruption in their security apparatus.  Palestineans fear losing their claim to any part of Jerusalem...which is what they might face with current Israeli policy of a unilateral withdrawl.  The solution has to be something that gives the Palistieans a homeland....while giving Israel secure borders and national security.  I don't know what the answer is....but I kow the current system of anti-semitism that is blared in Arab media sources doesn't help matters.  I also think that if the other Arabic nations budded out (and they have their own agenda which has NOTHING to do with the well being of Palestineans) a solution could be reached.  I think a secure and stable western styled government in a Palestinean homeland would be the only outcome that all sides could be happy with.  The problem is the rest of the Arab world wouldn;t be happy with it.

Most Palestinians are Muslims. I am guessing that the Qur'an would state something somewhere in there. Another suggestion is that they could be against the very existence of the Jewish state. Maybe it is not the fact that they think it belongs to them, but that they would rather be in in control of the land rather than the Nation of Israel. Just food for thought.

I think I understand where you are going there.  My timid answer is 'yes'.  You may be sympathetic to the Jewish cause, but know that Israel (back then there was no Israel) is a pawn in the American military that causes more strife than it's supposedly worth.  \nJust know that Israel is located VERY strategically in the middle east, ok.  While we, as modern day Americans, think that Palestinians and Jews should just get along, there are big religious problems there.  We're Americans, we understand that.  Both sides deserve to occupy land they consider to be holy and to live in peace with each other.  The issue is, they consider the same land to be holy for different reasons.  That is why America is there.  Americans revere Jerusalem as Jews do.  So, we pretend that we support them when in actuality we are there to police the middle east.

This is an unhelpful answer but I agree with Tex. Israel can exist but not at our expense (The USA). I personally think that Palestinians and Jews both are two of the world's biggest troublemakers. Neither are innocent by any means. I am worried for my personal safety and my countries safety because of all this bullsh*t in the middle east. If you are a Muslim or Palestinian I feel bad for you. Your people often suffer too but then are ignored because of the United States affiliation with Israel but it will never give you the right to decide which group stays or goes or promote violence and hate. One of the biggest prayers that could be answered by God to put us a big gigantic step towards world peace is to resolve this conflict between Israel and Palestine but I doubt it ever will until somebody gets blown into smithereens. Its sad, if you are a Muslim I actually have sympathy for you too. Just don't hurt me or my country...please.

Hamas has so far refused to recognize Israel's right to exist. No matter how you feel about the conflict in Palestine, you must admit that Israel isn't going anywhere. It's time the Arabs realized that and try to find a way to make peace. Unfortunately many of these people are extremely hard-headed. Once Hamas start running the affairs of the Palestinian people in a responsible way and enter diplomatic relations with Israel, then and only then should we support them.

we just forgot all about it... there was no conflict 100 years ago.. it is all about the lost rights of Palastinian ppl in havin thier own land and the lost right of all muslims to get thier Aksa Mousqe in Jersualem back.. and the west is protecting Israel with all means.. in order to not give the muslims thier rights... i condem any terrorist attack on any country... but we should ask our selves why these ppl are doing so.. i think it is thier dispair in getting our rights... it is not the well to kill.. or that islam tell us to kill.. we have to be objective and not shallow when we think about it.. the medie story telling is so so so misleading about the truth of the whole coflict.. if we can solve the Plastanian Islreali conflect then i thnk no confict will find place.... but the problem that they want to force ppl to accept what is on the real site... regarding the rights of muslims.. then the conflict happen..... you can tolerate in your personal right.. but you can not in your reliogous rights... and if you ask muslims to do so... then why dont Jews do it..

When Isreal was formed as a country in the late 1940's the area was uninhabited.  The people had every right to be there.  They took no one's land and did not bother anyone.\n\nUnfortunately, Islamic Law does not tolerate non-muslims.  In fact the Koran is very clear that the ultimate goal is for Muslims to take over the world.  Because of this, the people of Palestine and other Muslim countries have been trying to push out the Jewish people since they settled in modern day Isreal.  \n\nIsreal is the only source of sanity in the middle east.  It is the only free people. Despite what most news outlets say, the Muslims in Isreal have more freedom than they do in thier native countries.\n\nThe western world should support Isreal as the only bastion of freedom in the middle east.

Exists as a place for displaced Jews to settle after WWII.  Palestinians feel like it is there land and was stolen from them--thus the conflict.

Considering Pakistan was part of India until the U.K. dismantled India into two countries before it left. I side with India. Same thing as in Palestine. The Israelis have an inch and want a yard.
