Why is the Old City of Jerusalem important to Israelis and Palestinians?
The Old City of Jerusalem is known for its sacred sites in the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faith, solidifying each group's historical claim to the land. Both the Palestinians and Israelis want Jerusalem as their capital.
What area do both Palestinians and israelis claim as a homeland?
Historic Palestine or the Land of Israel. (Both are regional names for the same piece of land, roughly.)
What do both Israelis and Palestinians claim as a homeland?
Both claim the entire Southwest Levant, termed by the Jews as "Eretz Yisrael - The Land of Israel" and by the Arabs as "Belaad Filastin - The Country of Palestine", as their homeland.
Are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting the Muslims?
No. Neither of them are fighting "the Muslims" as a group. Most Palestinians are Muslims anyway. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is between two national groups: Israelis who are primarily Jewish against Palestinians who are primarily Muslim. However, neither Israeli nor Palestinian forces have declared that they are fighting Islam. There are numerous mosques in both countries where Muslim worshipers freely pray to God.
The conflict in Israel today is between which two religious groups?
It depends which "Conflict in Israel" the question is asking about. If it is asking about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the conflict is, strictly speaking, between Israelis and Palestinians which are national groups, not religious groups. However, the majority of Israelis are Jewish and the majority of Palestinians are Muslim. (However, there are numerous Muslim Israelis, Druze Israelis, and there are both Christian Israelis and Christian Palestinians.) If it is asking about Israel's internal political conflicts, they are often between Secular Jews and Religious Jews.
Should the Palestinians and the Israelis have their own countries?
Yes. Both peoples have the right to live in dignity under their own power.
Is Brazil fighting the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza strip?
No. Brazil is not directly involved in any conflict with Israelis or Palestinians and actively recognizes both countries.
Why do Israelis and Palestinians feel entitled to the same piece of land?
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.
How did the Israelis and Palestinians hurt each other and keep peace at bay?
The Israelis and Palestinians have engaged in a prolonged conflict marked by violence, including terrorist attacks, military actions, and retaliations. Both sides have committed acts that have deepened mistrust and animosity, making peace negotiations challenging. Efforts to achieve lasting peace have been complicated by issues such as borders, security, settlements, and the status of Jerusalem.
What is the main religion of Israelis and Palestinians?
There are actually three main religions in Israel. This, of course, is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jerusalem is also considered a holy city for all three faiths. While differences between the Jews and Palestinians linger on, they all worship the same God. This, of course, is the one God who has several names. The latter includes Ilahi, Allah, and Jehovah.
What is an argument that both Palestinians and Israelis give to justify their positions regarding the conflict between them?
"Which of the following..." means "Here is a list of choices. Select the best answer from the list."Without the list, it's not possible to speculate.
