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.
The Gaza Strip
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.
if they are willing to accept defeat
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.
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.

Historic Palestine or the Land of Israel. (Both are regional names for the same piece of land, roughly.)
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.
Because both parties have lived upon the land for a very long time. Both have ancestors who have lived and died there and each would be offended if they were forced to leave the land of their forefathers. Furthermore, each side has their own reasoning for being entitled the land. The Palestinians had previously owned it. However, Zionists (people who believed that the Jewish people should have their own nations) exiled the Palestinians with help from the British. This is considered unjust by Palestinians. Jewish Israelis believe that, according to the Bible (Genesis ch.28 and elsewhere), they are entitled to the land of Israel because of Divine command. Secular Israelis like to use a more objective argument and claim that the Israelis took a part of the land by U.N. resolution, and a further part from the Palestinians through war, fair and square. Therefore, they have earned this land and are entitled to keep it. This is the conflict in essence, though it gets much more complicated than this. See also the attached Related Links.
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.
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.
93% of Palestinians are Muslim, and 6% of Palestinians are Christian. Muslim and Christianity are the main religions in Israel.
