Answer 2

As this is a question asking for an opinion, you will have several answers:

Answer 1

Well, its more of a Palestinian-Israeli conflict. What happened was the Jews, after the Holocaust, fled Europe and lived with the Palestinians in their own district. Palestine was owned by the British at the time and the Palestinians viewed them as guests. But then the Jews declared independence and called their new country Israel. The Palestinians thought the Israelis were stealing their land and attacked. The Israelis won and kept the land they acquired over the short but violent war, forcing the Palestinians into neighboring territories. So now the Palestinians are furious and electing military such as Hamas, which isn't so powerful, and Hezbollah, which is very powerful and actually beat Israel in the war in 2006. I think the Israelis are At Fault and should restore a 2-state environment.

Answer 2

The Arab-Israeli Conflict is rooted in numerous causes, information about which can be read at the related question below. To me, it's the sad tale of how vitriol, religious fanaticism, and modern fascist ideology can make what should be an easily solvable situation into a worldwide catastrophe that plays with the heartstrings of 3 billion people. The Israelis need to pull out of the settlements across the West Bank and make room for a viable Palestinian State which would have two contiguous pieces and not be subject to blockades and occupation. The Palestinians need to systematically reform the rhetoric they espouse both in the Territories and in the Diaspora as concerns the historicity of Israel and the Anti-Semitic overtones given to a nationalist conflict. The Arabs need to realize that peace with Israel is not a sheet of paper but a growth of economic, social, political, and regional ties. Begrudgingly allowing Israel space is not peace, but only the first step to peace and a long term solution. Unfortunately, Israel, Palestine, and the Arab World at large are disinterested in making the concessions just outlined.

Answer 3

in 1917 the british army invaded Palestine and the british colonisation of palestine went from weak to weaker over the years the jews of europe offered there money to britian during the world wars 1-2 and britain accepted there offer in exchange of giving them palestine and specially Jerusalem city because its the biggest relegious city in the world it contain alot of religious Sanctities for all the 3 relegions islam and christianty and Judaism

britain broguht the most violence jews gangs ( ch tat - Agana - .... ) from europe and trained them and disarmed all the palestenians even from the cocking knifes then in 1948 the british government made the UN to make the two state solution in palestine

( israel - palestine ) all the arabian leaders could stop that from happening and exterminate israel in less than 10 years but they accepted it in exchange that they can stay above there thrones even now 2011 today all the arabian leaders are alot closely to israel more than palestine today the deal are between the USA and the arabian leaders if the leaders didnt harm israel and served israel could last little longer on there chears not all the leaders accepted that at least not all the leaders from 1917 tell 1978 there is egyptian leader gamal abdel nasser he foguht in the 1948 war in palestine and he got injured he fought israel so many years when he became the leader of egypt tell he was assassinated by hes paid doctor hes doctor was paid from israel that one example every leader dared to fight israel and the colonisation ended killed or assassinated thats why you see the uprising in the muslim world today because all of the arabian leaders are part of the american colonisation to the Middle East
