Who are the Israelis and Palestinians?

Palestinian people today is one of the terms referring mainly to Arab people with family origins in Palestine. The religion of Palestinians is primarily Islam, but there are others who consider themselves Palestinian, including Christians, Druze, and Jews.In British Mandate Palestine, all those granted citizenship by the Mandatory authorities were granted "Palestinian citizenship," including the newly arriving Jewish immigrants. The term "Palestinian" as used by the Mandatory authorities referred to all people residing there, regardless of religion. Following the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people, the use and application of "Palestine" and "Palestinian" by and to non-Arab Palestinians dropped from use; and its use was again taken up by its Arabs after the establishment of the PLO in 1964. The English-language newspaper The Palestine Post for example, primarily served the Jewish community in British Mandate Palestine; after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the newspaper's name was changed to The Jerusalem Post. Today, Palestinian Jews generally identify as "Israelis". The more precise terminology Palestinian Arab which was in use until the 1960s is often contracted/abbreviated - at the expense of some linguistic clarity or for political purposes - to the now commonly used Palestinian. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it is common for Arab citizens of Israel to identify themselves as both "Israeli" and "Palestinian" and/or "Palestinian Arab" or "Israeli Arab" in most cases.The Palestinian National Charter, as amended by the Palestine National Congress in July 1968, states that "The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father-whether in Palestine or outside it-is also a Palestinian." The Charter also allows that "The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion are considered Palestinians."The most recent draft of the Palestinian constitution expands the definition of Palestinian to state that: "Palestinian citizenship shall be organized by law without prejudicing the right of anyone who acquired it before 15 May 1948 in accordance with the law or the right of the Palestinian who was resident in Palestine before that date. This right is transmitted from fathers and mothers to their children. The right endures unless it is given up voluntarily.The Palestinians are Arabs that moved into Palestine a century ago. Many of them came from Jordan and Syria.The Palestinians are an Arab-speaking people with family origins in Palestine, an area now known as Israel along with Israeli territories, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Which country became independent legally Israel or Palestine?

Why do I have to choose? According to UN Resolution 181, the Mandate of Palestine was divided into a Jewish and an Arab State with each state being given the right to become independent in the territory. The Jews declared independence according to this permission in 1948 with the State of Israel. The Arabs used this permission to declare a state-in-absentia in 1988 called Palestine. In 1993, the Oslo Accords granted land to the Palestinian Authority, the same agency that declared a State of Palestine. The International Court of Justice held that the UN Resolution worked as a legal basis for both Israel and Palestine.

What is the historic capital of Palestine?

It is unclear what is meant by this since Historic Palestine is a regional term, not a political one. With the exception of the recent Palestinian government that declared independence in 1988, Palestine has always been the territory of a Jewish-ruled State or a foreign state. Under the Ottomans, it was divided in three parcels and ruled from Beirut (northern areas and Lebanon), Jerusalem (central areas), and Damascus (southern areas, Jordan, and Syria). Under the British, the colonial administration was in Jerusalem, but reported back to London. From 1949-1959 there was a puppet Palestinian government in Gaza City that was supported by the Egyptians (until the Egyptians decided to quash it and rule the territory of the Gaza Strip directly).

What form of government does Palestine have?

Democracy. People vote for the government they want. The above answer is overly simplistic. Palestine is currently divided into two separate operational governments. Hamas rules the Gaza Strip in a way similar to Military Junta. There are no planned elections and the government is directly controlled by parts of the militant organization. The West Bank is an Illiberal Democracy. People can vote for politicians, but when the Palestinian people voted against Fatah, like in 2006, the Fatah party refused to validate the results and step down. Therefore a more accurate answer would be "Military Junta in Gaza" and "Illiberal Democracy in the West Bank".
