Well, for the last several years they have been ruling themselves semi-autonomously instead of existing as an occupied zone. Many see this as an important step. Ancient wounds are not healed overnight. It will take time.

Which European power controlled Palestine immediately after World War II?

Britain controlled Palestine from the end of World War I until February 1947 when, in response to Zionist terrorist attacks, Britain handed Palestine over to the United Nations to solve the Palestinian problem.


What was the British policy towards the Jews and Arabs in the Palestinian mandate?

A:At the beginning of the twentieth century, the total Jewish population of Palestine was estimated at around 20,000 persons, but this quickly increased with legal and illegal immigration. British policy on the territory was informed by the Balfour Declaration of 1917, whereby Palestine would be regarded as a homeland for the Jews, subject to the rights of the Arabs, but would not necessarily be an independent state. By 1939, Britain was moving away from this position, and a white Paper recommended that an Arab state of Palestine be created. In order to force Britain's hand and ensure a favourable outcome, the Jews commenced a program of terrorism, with the Stern Gang as the main participant. In 1946, the British headquarters in the King David Hotel were blown up. By February 1947, the number of British casualties in Palestine has risen sharply and Britain called on the UN to solve the Palestinian problem.


Why Arabs don't want to solve the palestine problem?

Fellow Arab countries doesn't want a settlement for Palestine Problem. They never accept the Palestine refugees even after 40 or more years as Jews done their fellow Jews. Arab countries will loose a reason to fight with Israel if Palestine solves heir ptroblem their own with Israel. Arabs want axs infinite unrest in Palestine, whether the Palestine people starved to death or shot dead, no concern over the fellow Palestines. Hello Palestines, think of your your problem, solve it with your own brain but not with the greedy Arabs. They need you, otherwise they would have settled it for you by peaceful talks years before. Palestines, you are not fools to believe in others words. You have your own brain and knowledge to settle the matter yourselves. Don't need others brain if you are not born fools. Think and act puting all the burden to Almighty Allah. He will solve for you.


Why did the English and Americans start conflict with Israeli-Palestinian?

The question is worded oddly, so it is unclear what it is asking.1) Why did the English and Americans start a conflict with Israeli-Palestinians? -- This is incorrect. The English and Americans are not in conflict with "Israeli-Palestinians" (which is a meaningless term, just like French-Britons would be). As a result2) Why did the English and Americans cause the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict? --The English and the Americans did not cause the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The Israelis and Palestinians did that themselves. The British (of which the English are a large subset) created the Mandate of Palestine, which allowed for the creation of two polities. Those polities had strong nationalistic aspirations that opposed those aspirations in the other polity. The British did not inspire or support this divergence, but they did accept it without trying to reconcile the problems. The British wanted easy administration, not problem solving. However, since they did not cause the problem, it was not theirs to solve. Similarly, the US is the biggest supporter of both Israel and Palestine, so US funding is certainly helping to perpetuate the conflict, but US funding has nothing to do with the root causes. If US funding were to immediately cease, the situation on the ground would not become more peaceful.The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict has its origins in the confrontation between immigrant Zionist Jews in the Mandate of Palestine and their interaction with the indigenous Arabs in the 1920s and 1930s. Before that point, the immigration into the land had been a small trickle and Arabs were not terribly concerned. However, the Jewish immigration in the 1920s was quite large and disruptive. By the mid 1930s, both sides had developed militias which they used both to attack British colonial institutions and each other. Jews also flooded back to the Holy Land following World War II, since they felt that they would always be persecuted in countries where they were the minority. In 1947, as UN Resolution 181 was being debated, a full-scale war erupted between the Jewish militias and the Arab militias. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, the Arab States joined in the War which caused it to be internationally recognized and called the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9. The on and off conflict that has remained unresolved for over half a century now.

What will it take for all of the Arabs and Israelis to finally coexist peacefully forever?

First, it is impossible to provide a solution that will hold for all time in regards to any human situation, let alone one as complex as the Arab-Israeli Conflict.Second of all 20% of Israeli citizens are Arabs, so the co-existence there is quite good. It is between Non-Israeli Arabs (>99% of Arabs) and Israelis (regardless of whether they are Jews, Arabs, or other minorities) that is the issue. In order to resolve the Arab-Israeli Conflict, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict needs to be resolved. For the sake of discussion, this should get the ball rolling on a number of things would have to take place before a long-standing peace (as opposed to a mere cessation of hostilities) could take place in that conflict. There are other requisites, but there are the most important.1) Mutual Recognition: Israel would need to recognize a completely independent and sovereign Palestinian Government that would fully control a certain amount of the former British Mandate of Palestine (most likely Gaza and the West Bank). Israel would also have to confer on this state the unambiguous nature of being correct and necessary for Israel. Conversely, Palestine would have to recognize the Right for Israel to Exist as a Jewish State occupying the remaining amount of the British Mandate of Palestine (most likely 1949-Israel). Both sides would have to recognize the historical and emotional value that the land also has to the other.2) Regional/International Recognition: States that have adopted attitudes strongly favoring one side at the expense of the other, such as the Arab States would need to recognize the legitimacy of both Israel and Palestine.3) Israeli Reparation Payments: Israel dispossessed many Palestinians of their property, either by malicious activities that took place during the Arab-Israeli Wars or by Ben-Gurion refusing to let Palestinians who left return after the 1948-9 War. Israel needs to pay the Palestinian government reparations for the land that was taken in this way.4) Israeli Withdrawal from the Settlements: Israel must withdraw from the Settlements to provide Palestine with a viable infrastructure and complete sovereignty. The Settlers must return to Israeli territory. The buildings, however, should be left as partial payment of the above-mentioned reparations.5) Palestinians Must Concede Right of Return:Recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish State is meaningless if Palestinians en masse are allowed to Return to Israel. Therefore, Palestinians (and their backers) must abandon the notion that they can ever return to Israeli territory. Palestinians should leave the refugee camps and become proper citizens in this new country of Palestine.6) Jerusalem Must Be Shared or Internationalized:Palestine and Israel both want Jerusalem and the only way to solve this is either divide the city East/West respectively and divide the Old City or Internationalize the City or some combination of Internationalization and division. Neither side will rest until it can assure its followers that its holy sites will be protected.7) Liberal Thought: Just in general, people have to be willing to compromise and live with that compromise.Please also see these questions:What is the Arab-Israeli conflict about?What are the causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict?What are the events of the Arab-Israeli Conflict?What are some possible solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?What are the causes of the Arab-Palestinian Conflict?What are the causes of Anti-Zionism?What caused Jews and Muslims to become enemies?


How long have the Arabs and Jews been in conflict?

Answer 1Fighting between Arabs and Jews is mainly about territory. Until 1948 the holy land, Palestine, was a British mandated territory. In 1939, Britain was moving towards a position of granting independence and a white Paper recommended that an Arab state of Palestine be created. The British Balfour Declaration of 1917 had regarded Palestine as a homeland for the Jews, subject to the rights of the Arabs, and the Jews had been hopeful of a separate state in at least part of the Palestinian mandate. In order to force Britain's hand, the Jews commenced a program of terrorism, with the Stern Gang as the main participant. In 1946, the British headquarters in the King David Hotel were blown up. By February 1947, the number of British casualties in Palestine has risen sharply and Britain called on the UN to solve the Palestinian problem. The Jews were well organised and well armed, and fighting quickly escalated into war. Between May 1948 and January 1949, 370 Palestinian villages were wiped out just in the coastal strip between Tel-Aviv and Haifa. In many cases, if the villagers refused to leave, they were put onto trucks and driven away to the West Bank.So, Arabs (both Muslim and Christian) and Jews have been fighting since the 1940s. Some publications that may provide more information include:· A history of modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples(2004) by Professor Ilan Pappe (University of Haifa, Israel);· The History of Israel (1998) by Professor Arnold Blumberg;· Bitter Harvest: A Modern History of Palestine (1989), by Sami Hadawi (official land valuer during the British Mandate)Answer 2Jews and Arabs have been fighting for a very long time. More than any could think of. They have, in fact been fighting since Abraham went against Gods plan and had a child with his servant girl. He was supposed to have a child with his wife, Sarah. When the servant girl got pregnant with a son Abraham and Sarah "fired" her. Then when Sarah had her rightful son, Isaac, Isaac was the son who would form the Jews and the Servant girl's son would form the Arabs. To learn more please look up Genesis chapter 16 in the Holy Bible.

By February 1947, the number of British casualties in Palestine has risen sharply and Britain called on the UN to solve the Palestinian problem.Ilan Pappe from the University of Haifa, Israel, says (A History of Modern Palestine: One Land, Two Peoples) that after March 1948 both sides commence military campaigns, but the Jews were better organised and more effective. Jewish forces committed the Dir Yassin massacre in Haifa, and elsewhere.The British response during the Palestinian War of May 1948 to January 1949 was to cut off supplies of weapons and ammunition to Egypt and other allies of the Palestinians, leaving them unable to fight effectively. Israel was aligned to the Soviet Union and continued to receive materiel to prosecute the war.

How did the Arabs and Israelis solve their conflict?

Answer 1The problem is unsolved.Israel accepted the Palestinian Authority, but the Arabs want all of Israel. Whenever Arabs accept the Israelis as true neighbours in their hearts, the conflict may end. I say this as most disturbances are funded by PLO side not Israel.Answer 2Both sides have some realistic demands and some unrealistic demands. When leaders can sit down and have an honest conversation to their people. Negotiations and solutions require that each party to the dispute face a certain and repulsive truth, which is that they will have to sacrifice some of their wants for their needs. There are large contingents on both sides that want everything on their wishlist or nothing at all and the leadership on both sides has either actively encouraged this idea or said nothing to abate it. The reason is that telling people unpopular truths does not result in people liking the politician, but bellicose words can definitely improve ratings.


Should the USA try to bring peace to the Israelis and Palestinians?

Why not? More peace is always better. However, the USA cannot solve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Only Israelis and Palestinians can do that, but the USA can provide the necessary guarantees and resources to make a peace plan viable.
