Did Palestinians exist in 1967 even though there was no independent Palestine?
Alexisdesaintmichel
The UNRWA conventions in 1951 already recognized Arabs from Palestine as distinct group, so they were recognized as people even though no territorial claims of any Palestinian country were recognized at the time.

What was the relationship between Israel and Palestine like before 1984?
If this question is asking about political relations between Israel and Palestine, then the answer is rather simple: Palestine did not exist. Palestine only became a country in the late 1980s or early 1990s depending on the particular interpretation of history chosen. At this point, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the forerunner to the current Palestinian Authority (the recognized government of Palestine), was a stateless organization that believed in no negotiation or peace with the State of Israel. If this question is asking about personal relationships between Israelis and Palestinians, the question becomes more complicated. Between 1949 and 1967, Israeli Jews had little if any contact with Palestinians. The Israeli Arab communities tried to maintain links across the border with Jordan, but with little luck. Between 1967 and 1987, many Palestinians got jobs in Israel and correspondingly, there was relatively high degree of contact. Palestinians formed large portions of the workforce in many unskilled professions during this period. While the Occupation certainly bothered and infuriated the Palestinians, it was nowhere near as strong and omnipresent as it has been since the Intifadas.
What are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting for?
They're not fighting over religion. Religion has nothing to do with it. They're basically fighting over land. The Jews literally came into Palestine and "threw out" the Palestinians because they needed a place to live. So now Palestinians are trying to fight back because they want their land back. The Jews had no right to take their land away from them.
Did palestine exist in the time of Jesus?
yes
Should Palestine exist?
A:This is one of the unanswerable questions, along with: Should Israel exist? Should Britain exist? Should the United States exist. If a people have a long occupation of land and good title to it either as an independent nation or under colonialism, then they have a case for creating their own state. the ancestors of modern Palestinians have occupied the Levantine territory for at least two thousand years and some of it for around four to five thousand years. Although the last two thousand years have been under colonial rule, they seem to hve as good a claim to statehood as any other people.
Who ruled palestine in 1920?
Israel didn't exist in 1920. That area was called Palestine and was ruled by the British.
Did the Holocaust get to Israel?
No. What is now Israel did not exist as an independent country at the time but was part of British Mandate of Palestine and therefore under British rule then. In the course of the fighting in N. Africa in World War 2 the Germans did not reach Cairo and did not cross the Suez Canal. So, there was no Holocaust in Palestine/Israel.
Do land disputes in southwest asia exist between israelis and palestinians?
Yes. There are land disputes between Israelis and Palestinians and the land in dispute is located in Southwest Asia.
Are there Hindus in palestine?
Yes. There aren't many but there are some. (Technically that is wrong as right now Palestine doesn't exist but whatever.)
Why do the Jews think Palestinians shouldn't have their land?
Jews do not think this. Most Israeli Jews support a two-state solution. They just want the Palestinians to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Does it matter to the Israelis that the Palestinians have a right to exist?
Yes, and Israel recognizes that right. Unfortunately, the Palestinian Authority refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Does malaria exist in Palestine?
No. There is insufficient stagnant water for the malaria-carrying mosquitoes to reproduce.
Why did the two groups emerge in Israel?
It completely depends on which two groups we are talking about.Assuming that you are referring to the rise of the Yishuv (the proto-Israeli Jewish community) and the rise of Palestinians (the conversion of a generic Levantine Arab identity to a specific Palestinian Arab identity), both came out of the conflict for political power in the British Mandate for Palestine. Both groups were trying to establish a state that catered primarily to their interest and agreed with their moralities. The Palestinians were incapable of completely ethnically cleansing out the Yishuv because of their military weakness and the Yishuv made calculated decisions to not completely cleanse out the Palestinians. As a result, both groups still exist.
