What caused Israelis and Arabs to become enemies?
The existence of Israel is antithetical to most Arabs who still consider that region to be Palestine and to be stolen from its native inhabitants. Therefore, anyone loyal to that state (i.e. Israelis) are seen violent usurpers who need to be put down. On the flip side, Israelis see the Arab request that they completely surrender to an Arab Authority ridiculous because they argue that they have a Right to a State and will actively stop anybody who demands their flight or capitulation.
Why should Israelis control Arabs?
The question as posed is nonsensical. An equivalent question is "Why should Americans control Hispanics?" The problem with both of these questions is that Israeli and American are nationalities irrespective of race, ethnicity, or religion, whereas Arab and Hispanic are ethnicities with common religions, but exist irrespective of citizenship. As a result, there are a large number of Israeli Arabs (20% of Israel) and American Hispanics (17% of the USA). The terms are not exclusive. If the question is asking "Why should the Jews in Israel control the Arabs in Israel?" the question is based on an incorrect implicit assumption: Jews control Arabs in Israel. Arabs have several different parties in Israeli politics and some of these Arabs have voiced dissent or disagreement with the Right of Israel to Exist at all without losing their seats or their parties being banned. Arabs are just as free to exercise political will as Jews are in Israel. The better question might be "Why do Muslim Arabs get to control Jews in Arab countries?" but people chose not to ask this question because they know that they will not like the answer.
Why would the US want to defend their right to Israelis' homeland?
The United States does not have a right to the Israelis' homeland. There is nothing to defend.
Will Israel have access to Jerusalem?
Israel has had access to all of Jerusalem ever since June 7, 1967, when Israeli paratroopers took the Old City of Jerusalem. I can envision no situation where Israel would give up the right to access Jerusalem, even though the Taba Summit Agreement (which was not singed) in 2000 proposed giving East Jerusalem and most of the Old City to the Palestinian Authority, but even that would have required the Palestinians to give Israelis the right to access the city.
Does Israel have the right to have Jerusalem?
Jerusalem is the holiest city to Judaism. It is the capital of Israel & has been the capital of ancient Jewish kingdoms. It has never been the capital of any other nation. There is a Jewish majority in Jerusalem, and there was a Jewish majority in east Jerusalem from 1880 until 1948 when Jordan took control and expelled all Jews, giving Jewish property to Arabs. During this time Jews were banned from visiting east Jerusalem and Jewish holy sites. Since Jerusalem was reunified in 1967 Israel has ensured the protection of all the religious holy sites of all religions and the rights of religious minorities.
Are the Jewish people of Israel the new Nazis as their treatment of Arabs indicate?
No. It should be obvious that this kind of talk involves fooling around with the word 'Nazi'. It's rather like calling traffic wardens 'petty Hitlers' - and taking it seriously. Since long before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 the Palestinians (and many Arabs further afield) have refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist at all. The Israelis are fighting against fanatical terrorists who deny Israel's right to exist. In the circumstances the conduct of the Israelis has been very moderate indeed. Joncey
What three issues between Arabs and Israelis went unresolved for over fifty years?
Three unresolved issues:Arab Acceptance of the validity of a Jewish National Homeland.The Right of Return or Resettlement of the Palestinian Exiles.Control of Jerusalem and the Holy Sites.Since this only refers to "over fifty years" the issues concerning Israeli Occupation of areas outside of 1949-Israel do not qualify (since they have only been issues for 45 years).
What is the name of the land inhabited by Palestinian Arabs but controlled by Israel west of the Jordan River?
This territory is usually termed to be the West Bank or Cisjordan. Some Right-Wing Israelis prefer to call it Judea and Samaria after the Ancient Israelite Kingdoms that bore those names.
Why does Palestine have the right to the city of Jerusalem?
Its not that they have the right to the city of Jerusalem in your specific view (no one exclusively does) . the right way to think about it is that they have the right to their country which in fact includes Jerusalem and the Aqsa mosque etc...
Does the Israeli-Palestinian conflict represent a struggle of right against right?
Yes. This is a conflict where both sides, the Israelis and the Palestinians, have rights to certain piece of land in the Southern Levant and those rights are in direct conflict. Jews believe they have a right to their ancestral homeland of Israel and Arabs believe they have a right to their ancestral possession of Palestine. Unfortunately, these two rights conflict because Israel and Palestine overlap.
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.
Is Jerusalem in Israel?
This is a very contentious issue. West Jerusalem is unquestionably in Israel, but for the entire city, there is more debate.Legal Status (De Jure)In 1949, the armistice lines between Israel and Jordan divided the city of Jerusalem into West Jerusalem (which was held by Israelis) and East Jerusalem, including the Old City (which was held by the Jordanians. In 1967, via the Six-Day War, Israel reunited the city of Israel under its control. However, according to UNSC Resolution 242, Israel must withdraw from territories occupied in the Six-Day War in return for a peace treaty with its neighbors. In 1994, Jordan, which was the country that had a legal right to Jerusalem, ceded that right to the Palestinian Authority and signed a peace treaty with Israel. As a result, Jerusalem contains both de jure Israeli territory (West Jerusalem) and the de jure non-Israeli territory (East Jerusalem) which is owed, theoretically, to the Palestinian State.Current Status (De Facto)Since 1967, Israel has controlled both West and East Jerusalem and in 1980 passed the "Jerusalem Law", which set up a unified municipal boundary for Jerusalem and annexed (illegally according to international law) East Jerusalem to Israel proper.
