Yes and No. There are roughly 1.35 million Palestinian citizens of Israel, called "Arab-Israelis" by Jewish Israelis. However, this is a small part of the estimated world population of 11 million Palestinians.

Citizenship can be granted only by a nation. As of 2009 there is no internationally recognized nation of Palestine. However the Palestinian government has promoted the idea of granting Palestinian citizenship while under illegal Israeli occupation and have issued Palestinian passports to Palestinian refugees and residence who live in occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

What kind of democracy does Israel have?

Israel has a democracy for Israeli citizens. It is parliamentary. The Palestinians do not have full inclusion in the Israeli state, as I understand.


What Happened to the Palestinians when Israel was invented?

Several things. Many stayed right where they were, but others were displaced from their family lands. Many of these were never resettled and raised their children and their children's children in "camps," which became breeding grounds for resentment and terrorism. Ethnic Palestinians can be citizens of Israel, with full political rights, but Israel has an interest in not letting so many Palestinians become citizens that they can take over the government. This is the linchpin of the "Right of Return" debate which refers to families resettling in Israel.

Should Palestinians be allowed to return to Jerusalem?

the awnser for this questionYes, no one should be banned from returning to something that was once theirs Another Answer:The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated. There are Palestinians who live in Israel as Israeli citizens.Israel never forced the Palestinians to leave Israel. The neighboring Arab countries warned the Palestinians that Israel was going to be attacked. The Palestinians believed that Israel would be destroyed and they would simply return home. Well, that did not work. Israel was not destroyed. Many Jews were under attack in the Arab countries they lived in, so they fled to Israel where they were taken in. The Arab countries in return did not take in the Palestinians that they instructed to leave.Israel is a democracy, in Israel there are Palestinians who have equal rights. Israel is worried about its safety and therefor is not planning on allowing the Palestinians, who willingly left, return. The Palestinians are taken advantage of by their corrupt leaders and other countries. They are used being used. The Palestinians blame Israel for their misfortune and thus dislike Israel. Because of this, Israel is not willing to freely allow them into the country.There is an additional demographic reason too, beyond the fact that Jewish people have moved to Israel in a kind of a 'swap'; since the great-grandparents / grandparents / etc of the current generation of Palestinians left Israel, the number of descendants of those original Palestinians has increased beyond the remotest possibility of Israel's capacity to safely re-accommodate them.
