Who has more land Palestine or Israel?
It depends on your terms. If you are referring to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip cumulatively as Palestine and the 1949 borders of the State of Israel as Israel, then Israel is 3x larger than Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, then the State of Israel according to 1949 borders is smaller than Palestine. If you are comparing the current areas under Israeli control to the area of Mandatory Palestine, they are roughly equal. (The gain in the Golan Heights is more-or-less offset by the loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Zone A regions.)
What did the new peace plan in 2003 call for Israel and the Palestinians to do?
There are two different important peace plans proposed in 2003. If this is asking about the Geneva Initiative of 2003, it requested for Israelis and Palestinians to return to the 1949 borders with some minor landswaps and a divided Jerusalem. However, the peace plan is much more complicated than that, so please read the Related Link which discusses the peace plan. If this is asking about the Saudi Peace Initiative of 2003, it requested for Israelis and Palestinians to return to the 1949 borders exactly as they were on that date (which is deeply troubling to Israelis especially as concerns Jewish sites in the Old City of Jerusalem) and resettlement of all Palestinians who wish to return to Israel in Israel. In return, the Palestinians are not required to do anything, but all Islamic States will recognize the new Palestinian-majority state of Israel.
How did Israel become stable after the Holocaust?
Israel's stability was not contingent on the Holocaust. Israel's stability came about as a result of the Armistice of 1949 with the Arab States in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9.
Does Turkey recognize Israel as a state?
Yes. Turkey recognized the State of Israel after it had concluded armistices with all of its adversaries in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. Since 1949, Turkey and Israel have exchanged ambassadors and prior to 2008 were actively engaged in a military alliance. Trade between the two nations, even after a cooling of political relations continues to increase.
What would the Palestinians like to control in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
Palestinian AnswerPalestinians have a diverse set of desires. The majority wish that they could remove Israel as a State entirely, but realize that Israel is not going anywhere. As a result, a number of the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza are willing to negotiate for the 1949 borders. There are several organizations working to that goal. There are others who refuse to acknowledge that Israel must exist and believe that they should control all of the land that previously belonged to Arabs.

How did the area of Palestine officially become Israel?
In terms of international law, the 78% of Mandatory Palestine which is now the State of Israel was legally acquired. Israel accepted UNGA Resolution 181 and its border defense against Arab aggression to counter international laws that they did not like. As a result, the acquisition in the 1947-1949 of war was not an illegal act since self-defense is not a criminal act unless it is grossly disproportionate to the attack and the war was a relatively balanced affair as well as being resolved at the moment that each Arab state was willing to engage in an armistice. Just to clarify, this means that the 1949 borders of Israel belong to Israel. As for the remaining Palestinian areas that were acquired in 1967, the situation becomes murkier, but as concerns the West Bank, Jordan attacked Israel first and Israel retaliated. Again the self-defense doctrine comes to the fore. Israel would have the rights to those territories acquired in self-defense. However, Israel was willing to concede some of those rights pursuant to a final, lasting peace with its neighbors, which is all that UN Resolution 242 discusses. Those states that have made peace with Israel since 1967 (Egypt and Jordan) have seen the return of territory (in Egypt's case) or the cession of the rights to occupied territory with tertiary partners (Jordan to the Palestinian Authority). It should also be noted that while 720,000 Palestinians fled the State of Israel in 1947-1949, 850,000 Jews fled from Arab States from 1949-1955. More Jews fled their homes than Arabs fled theirs.

The "West Bank" is part of the former Mandate of Palestine, that was occupied by Jordan from 1949-1967 and has been partially administered by the Fatah party of the PLO since 1993. The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. However, some confusion may arise because there are part of Jerusalem that are considered to be in the West Bank (as well as other parts that are considered to be in 1949-Israel).
