As concerns West Jerusalem, Israelis took that relatively early in the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949. There were a large number of armed Jewish Militias in West Jerusalem and they were able to use their position to prevent Arab incursions. The Jews in the Old City, however, were forced out. The Old City of Jerusalem was taken by Israel in the Six Day War when, on the third day, Israeli troops both launched a ground assault as well as using paratroopers. East Jerusalem was taken on the fourth day of the Six Day War as Israeli troops effectively pushed the Jordanian soldiers to the East Bank of the Jordan River and blew up the bridges that cross it.

The Six-Day War in 1967 resulted in Israel occupying the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza

Strip, the West Bank, the Eastern Bank of the Galilee, and the Golan Heights. The

Sinai Peninsula has since been returned to Egypt, as a feature of the 1979 peace

treaty between Israel and Egypt..

Why are the Occupied Palestinian Territories a source of conflict?

Pro-Palestinian AnswerIsrael stole the land via safety zones or forced those out of work and bought the land for a pittance. Israel continues to occupy the stolen land and defies all peace talks.Only recently Israel murdered an opposition leader while peace talks where being negotiated in Russia. Israel has no interest in peace or dividing the land equally.AnswerThe Occupied Palestinian Territories are a source of conflict because Israel has control of the territory, but is not well represented by the civilian population of the region. Palestinians have a claim to that piece of land and Israel has actively prevented the realization of that claim through the use of settlements. Palestinians have actively prevented the realization of their own claim by circumventing the peace process and, in the case of Hamas, actively seeking to torpedo peace talks and launching rockets at civilian areas with the intent to sow the seeds of conflict.To see general causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, please see the Related Question below.

What were the difficulties the Jews had living in Israel?

The Jews STILL live there, and they still have difficulties. The biggest problem is the situation with the Palestinian Territories. The Israelis require the Palestinians to recognize them as a state in order to gain independence, but the Palestinians refuse. On the Other hand, The Palestinians, want full control over the old city of Jerusalem, and the Israelis refuse. The Palestinian Authority has repeatedly stated that it will not recognize or deal with Israel. But another complication there is that all of the power, water, and cell phone service in the Territories come from Israel. In order for Israel to give complete independence, it would have to stop supplying the Palestinians with electricity and water, which they just can't do.
