How did zionism set the stage for present day conflicts between Israelis and the palestinians?

Zionism is one of many contributing factors that led to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The reason for this is that Zionism is the nationalistic philosophy that led to Israel's creation. Without Zionism, there would be no Israel and therefore the conflict would not have existed. However, without Arab Nationalism, universal Anti-Semitism, and inequality between Jews and Muslims in Arab countries, there would never have been a reason for conflict either.

What conflicts are between two different religions?
The question as written is incredibly vague as "conflicts" can refer both to military engagements and philosophical quarrels. As concerns wars, there are numerous present day (and many more past) conflicts that involve people of different faiths and a subset of those are conflicts whose protagonists are fighting for reasons of faith (as opposed to faith merely being an ethnic or regional identifier). Current conflicts that involve faith-based conflicts: Israeli-Palestine: specifically Islamic Jihadists and Religious Zionists Sudan-South Sudan: specifically Janjaweed and Darfurians Jammu & Kashmir: specifically Hindu and Moslem Extremists DRC: A number of Christian Extremists vs. Animists
What ethnic groups do the Palestinians belong to?
Answer 1Almost all modern Palestinians consider themselves Arabs, specifically fellahin, which is usually translated as "Settled Arabs" as opposed to nomadic Arabs like the Bedouin.Answer 2 Palestinians are part of the Greater Syrian ethnicity, usually referred to as Levantine Arabs; levantine in their genetic ancestry from inhabitants of the region such as Canaanites, ancient Hebrews and the Greek Philistines, and Arab in terms of their language, although not their genetics. 'Palestinian' and sometimes 'Palestinian Arab' is usually referred to as a separate ethnicity, especially the latter, as Palestinians have developed a unique culture and linguistic dialect of Arabic, and as a result of their heritage spanning Jews, Samaritans, Greeks, Turks and European Crusaders, they can be genetically seperated from other Levantines/Arabs as a result of their significant Greek (Philistine) blood, which is not present elsewhere. Therefore, the ethnic group of Palestinians is Palestinian Arab, part of the broader Levantine ethnicity shared with Lebanese, Jordanians and Syrians.
Why is Palestine important to the Palestinians?
There are a number of reasons that the Palestinians find Palestine to be important to them.1) Original Inhabitants: This is the strongest case for the Palestinians and goes back to how the Palestinians lived in the British Mandate of Palestine for at least 800 years as the consistent majority of people in the territory. They have love and reverence for the land and consider it to be an intrinsic part of their identity.2) Atrocities have no Statute of Limitations:Many Palestinians assert that Israelis stole their land and possessions from 1920-1949, most violently during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 when numerous massacres were perpetrated by Jewish militias to secure the exodus of the Palestinian People. These Palestinians assert that they should be allowed to return to their homes and that Israel should not be able to benefit from their disaster.3) Muslim and Christian Holy Sites: The Palestinians have numerous holy sites that pertain to their religions as well in the British Mandate of Palestine. Jerusalem holds Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, the third most holy sites in all of Islam. There are also the Christian Monuments such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the cities of Nazareth and Bethlehem. Many Palestinian Muslims and Christians want to live in these places as they used to.4) Arab Reception: Palestinians have been confined to refugee camps and occasionally attacked in violent pogroms by their Arab neighbors (like the Lebanese attacks on Sabra and Shatila in 1982 and Nahr El-Bared in 2007). Palestinians assert that, like the Jews before them, nobody is really looking out for their best interests other than other Palestinians and this is why they could never truly settle in another Arab State.5) Never Allowed to Declare a State: Whether the Palestinians accepted UN Resolution 181 or not, they were never given an opportunity to Declare the Arab State which that Resolution gave them the right to do. After the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Jordan and Egypt occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip, effectively preventing the nascent Palestinian organizations from becoming a nation, even though they may have wanted to do so. In the present day, the United States has actively tried to prevent Palestinian access to the forums that would allow it to declare its Right to be a State because of its protection of Israel.
How did some Palestinian Arabs attempt to force changes in their political situation?
It depends on the Palestinian. However, the most common way that Palestinians have resorted to changing their political situation is through acts of violence and terror propogated against Israeli (Intifadas of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005 and Qassam Rockets 2007-Present), Jordanian (Black September 1969-1970), and Lebanese civilians (1970-1975 violence and Lebanese Civil War 1975-1990). Other Palestinians used non-violent and economic-directed activism to compel other governments to exert greater pressure on Israel to improve their situation. There has been no significant attempt by Palestinians to use activism to compel other government to exert greater pressure on Arab countries that also repress Palestinians.

What is the present relationship between Arabs and Israelis?
Since 20% of Israelis are Arabs, the two groups have some overlap, but if the question refers exclusively to non-Israeli Arabs and Israelis, there is a tense and violent political and economic relationship. On a personal level, there are some Arab-Israeli relationships.
List two effects that organized religion has had on society and give two examples from the past andor present world events that illustrate your examples?
education and war-- Education--there are many religious schools both past and present, and war--often people from one religion feel that people who don't believe the same way should be killed. Examples both past and present--conflict between Israelis and Palestinians; crusades both old and new of Christians fighting the Muslims.
Do Israelis open presents?
Of course, but like most people, they wait until they've been presented the present and not before.

Why did Israelis come to Canada?
There is a luxury in Canada that is not present in Israel, namely peace. Israelis have come to Canada at various times searching for a way to leave the conflict behind. Jews have also left Canada for Israel to be in the Jewish Homeland whatever the cost.
What claim did Palestinians have to Palestine?
The Palestinians claim that there people were living in Palestine for thousands of years, but there is no proof of it. They also claim that their Prophet Mohammed visited Jerusalem, so its their 3rd holiest city, but there is no proof of that either, and Jerusalem is not mentioned once in their whole holy book, the Qur'an. The Israelis claim that they have been living in the land for thousands of years, and that for thousands of years Jerusalem was their capital. There is proof of that. It's so sad that people are on the Palestinians side, and the Israelis are the ones with proof to their claims.
What other minor conflicts are present in “The Circuit”?
Conflicts between the Courts of Appeals are of central importance to the American judiciary. When circuits split, federal law is applied differently in different parts of the country. It has long been known that the existence of a circuit split is the best predictor of Supreme Court review, but data availability has constrained understanding of circuit splits to this fact. In this paper, we explore the “life cycle” of an intercircuit split. We analyze an original dataset that comprises a sample of conflicts between Courts of Appeals that existed between 2005 and 2013, including both conflicts the Supreme Court resolved and conflicts it has not yet resolved. We show how long a conflict exists before it is resolved and how many go unresolved altogether, which conflicts are resolved soonest, and how a conflict grows across circuits.
Is it desire for even more Muslim land and an even smaller israel that motivates the palestinians or is it simply historic Muslim eliminationist hatred?
What a one-sided question! The Palestinians have lived there for thousands of years. Palestine has been their homeland for thousands of years, perhaps back to early biblical times. Whether Muslim or Christian (yes, some Palestinians actually are Christian), they deserve to live in their ancestral homes. Now look at recent history. Following the end of the First World War, the British classified the 800,000 inhabitants of Palestine (an area that included the modern state of Israel plus the Palestinian territories) according to religion: 650,000 Muslims, 80,000 Christians and only 60,000 Jews. The Jewish population came to dominate later in the twentieth century because of immigration, much of it illegal. When Jewish terrorists drove Britain, the colonal power prior until 1947, out of Palestine, the United Nations proposed a two-state solution, with both sides receiving two sectors totalling about half the total land. The Jews refused to accept this proposal and gradually had the UN proposal reduce the Palestinian claim to a much smaller share than that of the Jews, based on the "Green line". Following the 1967 war, the Palestinian claim was reduced even further. The Palestinians no longer seek a return to the Green line, but accept the reality of the 1967 borders, with valid claims to the tiny Gaza strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem: this is the basis of current peace talks. But many Israelis will never accept an honourable peace with the Palestinians; not while there is land to be had in the Palestinian Territories. It is not a "desire for even more Muslim land" that is the stumbling block, it is the desire of some Israelis for more and more Israeli settlements to be built on the best Palestinian land, with no intention of submitting to Palestinian sovereignty. It would be in the best interests of the Palestinians to abandon the notion of a separate Palestinian state and agree, along with the Israelis, to a return to a single democratic state, on an equal voting basis. The main issue to be resolved if the Israelis were to agree to this, would be for the Palestinians who formerly lived in the present Israeli territory to give up their right to compensation for land and possessions appropriated by the Jews.
