Who are the Palestinians and the Kurds where do they live and what do they have in common?
Palestinians and Kurds have little in common other than their religion -- predominantly Islam."Palestinians" are a national group (like British), whereas Kurds are an ethnic group (like Anglo-Saxon). Palestinians are inhabitants of the Palestinian Territories (the West Bank and the Gaza Strip), and are ethnically predominantly Arab. They mostly speak Arabic, and are generally contrasted with Israelis, citizens of the State of Israel.Kurds are an ethnic group that inhabits a region known as Kurdistan. Kurdistan is not a country, but rather a region that includes contiguous provinces of the countries of Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. The Kurds were notably oppressed (and killed in large numbers) by the government of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, an incident that has been called a genocide. Some Kurdish nationalist groups notably want to create an independent state of Kurdistan, since they feel they have been marginalized by their home governments, especially in Iraq and Turkey.Actually, that is something else Kurds and Palestinians have in common: They feel as though they have been forced into a part of a larger country, part of which should be solely theirs. Palestinians want an internationally-recognized Palestinian state, in addition to (or instead of, depending on who's talking) Israel, and feel oppressed by the Israeli government. Kurds feel that there should be an independent state of Kurdistan, and feel oppressed by the Iranian, Iraqi, Turkish and Syrian governments.
Why might Palestinians and Kurds be considered stateless nations?
Palestinians are considered as stateless because Israel has taken their land that belongs in fact to Palestinians. And as America is the leader of the world, as it is also in the side of israel, it doesn't allow Palestine to be an independent state. Israel is trying to take all the land. As for the Kurds, they are spread across Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria without the ability to self-govern. As Turkey is supported the by the United States as well, it has been allowed to deny the Kurds autonomy. Iraq has given the Kurds autonomy, but only because of US requests in the writing of the constitution. The Iranians and Syrians actively exclude Kurds and repress their right to individual expression.

When the world will stop Israelis from killing defenseless Palestinians in Gaza?
The world will stop Israelis from killing defenseless Palestinians when those Palestinians stop launching rockets at Israeli cities, stop teaching Jew-hatred to their children, and recognize that the Two-State Solution is a Final Solution to the conflict. The world is also dragging its feet on helping the Kurds, Balochis, Darfurians, Igbo, Sahraoui, and numerous other peoples in far worse situations than the Palestinians.
