Have any Palestinians in Israel ever sued to get their land back?

First, it is worth clarifying what you have asked. If by "Palestinian in Israel" you are referring to Israeli Arabs, i.e. Israeli citizens who are ethnically Palestinian, then the question is nonsensical. Israeli Arabs live, overwhelmingly on the land (or close to it) where their families lived for generations. The Israeli government has not taken it from them. If you are referring to Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens in the West Bank, for example, please continue.
Palestinian non-Israeli citizens have sued in Israeli courts, for example to have land returned to them, and to have the route of the security wall changed so as not to isolate them from their land, and have won their suits, from Israeli judges. These verdicts have actually been implemented. Israel's Supreme Court operates in a unique fashion as a civil court for both Israeli citizens (both Jews and Arabs) and for Palestinians in the West Bank without Israeli citizenship. It is worth noting, however, that most Palestinians who engage in these lawsuits actually have some of their land, just not all of it. Those who are wholly bereft of their land do not often engage in these suits (since their legal cases are harder to make).
Now, if you would, bring me a reverse case, where a Jewish non-citizen has filed suit for anything in an Arab country, and won or lost but kept his neck. I know for a fact that to sell land to a Jew in the West Bank is (according to Palestinian practice) a crime punishable by death for an Arab.

What land on Israel's western border where Palestinians live?
The Gaza Strip
How much land have the Palestinians lost to the Israel's?
Most of what they gained in 1948, when the UN drew up the map but the "Palestinians" rejected the whole notion of partition and attacked Israel.
Should Israel give land to the Palestinians for peace?
if they are willing to accept defeat
What is the Hamas views on land for peace?
they do not want land for peace between israel and palestinians because they want full power of the gaza strip and nothing to do with israel.
Is the Land of Israel entitled to the Palestinians?
The land of Israel belongs to the Jews, which was given to them by God thousands of years ago. The Arabs are thieves and murderers. If you mess with Israel, you mess with God and that is not a good idea.
Iran claiming Israel is Illegal country why this claim?
It is because Israel treats the Palestinians like dogs, and the Palestinians are Muslims like the Persians(people from Iran). And also Israel makes illegal settelments in the West Bank which is supposed to be a Palestinian reserved land in Israel.
Did israel gave back the land to Arab world?
With the civil war ended in 1948, the Palestinians still occupied a small proportion of their former territory - the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. the Israelis did not give these territories to the Palestinians, since they had not yet conquered them.
Why did the Palestinians not like the Jews arriving in large numbers to their part of the Middle East?
The Palestinians claimed that the Jews stole their land, therefore there has been unrest in that area ever since the Jews came back from Jerusalem.
What area do both Palestinians and israelis claim as a homeland?
Historic Palestine or the Land of Israel. (Both are regional names for the same piece of land, roughly.)
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.
How much land does Israel have where Jews are free to live compared to the Disputed Territories where Palestinians are forced to stay?
Israel controls 78% of the former Mandate of Palestine compared with 22% in the West Bank and Gaza. However, it should be noted that Palestinians are not forced to live there; they can literally live anywhere in the world other than Israel and a large number of Palestinians who did not flee Israel live inside of Israeli borders without restriction.
What reasons do the palestinains have to be upset?
The British took a large part of their land and called it Israel for Jewish people to live in. The Palestinians didn't have any say, and the Jewish people hadn't lived there for a long time. This isn't a dating question :) Many Palestinians lost their homes and land when the state of Israel was formed. This is the main reason they are upset. There are several UN resolutions aimed at getting Israel to compensate the Palestinians, but so far they have not been enforced by the global community.
