What else can I help you with?
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.
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 claim do the Israelis have to the land?
The Israelis claim historical and religious connections to the land, dating back thousands of years to ancient times. They believe that the land was promised to them by God and that they have a right to live there as a homeland for the Jewish people. This claim is supported by archaeological evidence and religious texts.
What was the name for Arabs who claim Israel as their own?
It depends on how they make that claim. Bedouin and Druze claim that Israel belongs to them as much as it belongs to the Jews and proudly call themselves Bedouin Israelis and Druze Israelis. A number of Arabs who formerly lived in what is now Israel or the Occupied Territories claim that the Jewish State is illegitimate and demand that country be returned to them for administration. These individuals are called Palestinians. (Admittedly, a number of Palestinians are willing to allow Israel to exist outside of the Occupied Territories, but there is no difference in naming between the Two-Staters and the One-Staters.)
Who is to blame for starting the Arab-Israeli conflict?
It honestly depends on perspective. The Arabs claimed that the Israelis started it for having the audacity to realize their dreams for creating an independent country. The Israelis claimed that the Arabs started it for having the audacity to violently try to repress their dreams to create an independent country. As for what particular event started the conflict, every person would claim something else.
What is the name of the Arabs that lived in what is today Israel?
It depends on which Arabs are being discussed. Bedouin and Druze claim that Israel belongs to them as much as it belongs to the Jews and proudly call themselves Bedouin Israelis and Druze Israelis. A number of Arabs who formerly lived in what is now Israel or the Occupied Territories claim that the Jewish State is illegitimate and demand that country be returned to them for administration. These individuals are called Palestinians. (Admittedly, a number of Palestinians are willing to allow Israel to exist outside of the Occupied Territories, but there is no difference in naming between the Two-Staters and the One-Staters.)
Why do Israelis believe they have claim to the land on the eastern shore of the mediterranean sea?
Israelis believe they have a historical and religious claim to the land on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea based on biblical narratives that link the Jewish people to the region, particularly as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. This belief is reinforced by the long history of Jewish presence in the area, as well as the Zionist movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which sought to establish a Jewish state in response to widespread persecution. The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 further solidified this claim in the eyes of many Israelis. Additionally, historical events, such as the Holocaust, have shaped a sense of urgency for a secure homeland.
Who has the most rights over land Israelis or Arabs?
It depends on what particular parcels of land you are talking about. Even within former Mandatory Palestine, there are an incredible variety of different parcels of land with different amounts of "rights" and historical and legal claims for Israelis and Arabs. There are some areas, such as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where the Arab claim, on legal grounds is much better than it is in Israel. Conversely, Israel has a stronger legal claim for those areas owned by the JNF than elsewhere within Israel and a better claim for Israel than the Palestinian Territories. How the claims of one party stack up against those of the other party is more opinion than legal certainty.
What is the recent problem of Gaza?
Answer 1There is not any special recent problem in Gaza. The problem of Gaza Arabs is the same that the problem of all Arab States: the maniacal wish to destroy Israel and to build another arab muslim State on its ruins.This main problem causes all the other problems for Arabs in their relations with Israel.Answer 2Both the Israelis and Palestinians claim that the other side shot first in the recent Operation Pillar. Israelis claim that nine months of rockets preceded the murder of the Hamas Militant Leader and Hamas claims that the murder of the Militant Leader was the first breach of the previous ceasefire and retaliated in kind.
Which two groups claim land in present day Israel and what culture trait has led to this conflict?
The two groups that claim land in present-day Israel are the Jewish population and the Palestinian Arabs. The conflict primarily stems from differing national identities and historical narratives, particularly the Jewish connection to the land as their ancestral homeland and the Palestinian Arabs' claim to self-determination and historical presence in the region. This cultural trait of deeply rooted historical and religious ties to the land fuels ongoing tensions and disputes over sovereignty and rights.
Why do Arabs believe they have rights to claim land?
Arabs believe they have a right to claim land for exactly the same reasons that all other people believe that they have a right to claim land. They feel a right to the land that they live on since they live there and their ancestors have lived there.
What city do both Israelis and Palestinians claim to be their capital?
Yes, they do. See the related question on why that might be.
