The fundamental issue between Israel on the one side, and the Muslim nations
and so-called Palestinian "refugees" on the other side, is the existence of a
sovereign and democratic nation largely populated and controlled by Jews, in
the place where Israel is.
Answer 1
Primarily, the Jews historically lived in the area known as Palestine around 2000 years ago. The majority were then exiled by the Romans. The people who remained in the territory in the interim period began to consider themselves Arabs by the mid-1200s. When the British occupied the area and called it Palestine, these Arabs began to call themselves Palestinians. During this period, however, many Jews sought to return to their ancestral homeland and declare it as their own historic country. This provoked conflict between the people returning to their homeland and those who had lived there for centuries.

Answer 2
A very long one. In general, the Palestinians' ancestors lived in the Israeli area of the Middle East before the Jews arrived. According to the Bible as a historical book, and it is very accurate, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and into Canaan (Israel and Palestine), where Joshua took over and proceeded to pacify the Palestinians by force as God commanded him.
The Palestinians have ever since been arguing that they possessed the land first: finders keepers. They want the Jews to leave their land. The Israelites believe that the land belongs to them because God said so.
Answer 3
First, let´s clear some things. Palestine is not a country or a State and has never been it. Palestine is a geographical area like Balkans, and like in Balkans, there are various countries on its territory. One of such countries is Israel that occupies about 23% of the territory of the geographical area called Palestine. Another is Jordan, that occupies another approximately 75%. Also, the Southern parts of Lebanon and Syria are geographically also in Palestine.
The area of the modern Palestine thousands years ago was inhabitied by the union of the tribes under the common name Canaanites, and was called The Land of Canaan. Then, in approximately 1900 BC, the tribes of the "People of the Sea" began to arrive to the Land of Canaan and settle there. Their origin was not the Middle East; they were from Crete. The biggest among them was called Peleset, and this name was applied to all the posterior waves of the Sea People to the land of Canaan. In the Greek transcription, it was pronounced as "Philistine", so these invadersfrom Crete were called in Greek "Philistines", and in Latin- "Palestinians".They rapidly conquered the coastal part of the Land of Canaan and founded there five cities: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath. As their number grew, they started to try to expand their territory by wars, but met an obstacle: the tribes of the Hebrews ( the forefathers of Jews and Israelis) who invaded the inland of the Land of Canaan and conquered it, like Phislistines conquered the coastal part. After many centuries of bloody wars, Hebrews defeated Philistines and made them their vassals. Then they created two Kingdoms on the land they called Eretz Israel, The Land of Israel: one in the North, it was called The Northern Kingdom of Israel and its capital was in Samaria, and another one in the South; it was called Kingdom of Judea and its capital was Jerusalem. So, the jewish and israeli hisotry on hte land the WestCalls "Palestine" and jews and Israelis call The Land of Israel is 3,000 years long.
In the 8th century, Assyrians defeated the Northern Kingdom of Israel and then fell on Philistines. As well as Israelis, they were "rooted out" aznd driven to other parts of the Assyrian Empire. But Jews later were granted the permission to return, while Philistines were not. After Alexander the great conquests in approximately the 5th century, Philistines totally disappered from history - and remained disappeared until 1967, when Muslim Arabs all of a sudden proclaimed themselves "Palestinains".
What relations are there between Muslim Arabs from Arabia who confess Islam, and whose language is semitic - and the Sea People from Crete is a question even Muslim Allah would not be able to answer. But guided by the main Nazi´s ideologist Gebbels rule, who said that if you repeat the most monstrous lie continuously people will start to believe it, Arabs cry at every corner that they are "Palestinains", carefully avoiding answers to the questions like how to say "hello" in Palestinian, and since when Crete became the craddle for Arabs.
The truth is that Arabs use this hoax about "Palestinain people" as a weapon in their propagandistic war against Jews in the Arab-Israeli dispute over the land Romans called "Palestine" but whose original name for thousands years was The Land of Israel
Answer 4 (some hints on Answer 3 above):
Arabs; and more specifically Muslims; are never against Jews.
Judaism as a religion started by prophet Moses around 1200 years before Christ while Palestine was as a country thousands of years before this date. The claim that prophet Abraham was Jewish is not true. He was worshiping God as the one and only one God with no partner. That is the basic principle of Islam in its universal sense that all God prophets called their people for it.
It is not true that there was nothing called Palestine as a country. Otherwise, it could be claimed also that there was nothing called as Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq.
The country as Palestine was under control of:
During the British occupation of Palestine, they promised the Jews to have their native land side by side with the Palestinians in Palestine and allowed Immigration of thousands of Jews to the area.
The UN had taken the decision in 1947 to partition Palestine into two states Israel and Palestine. However, Israel State had been established while the Palestinian State not yet.
Even, if it was called the land of Israel it does not mean that it is the land of current Israelis. Otherwise, the US lands should be given back to the Indians.
There are several arguments that are echoed by both sides: (1) religious claims, (2) claims of historical presence, (3) claims of current presence, (4) claims of injustice done to them by the neighboring countries, and (5) having a population of a unique character that cannot be protected in other states.

Macaulay's argument in favor of the Reform Bill of 1832 that were really convincing was his argument in favour of parliamentary reform. Thank you very much, but what exactly is his argument. I'm reading over the Bill and just cannot understand what his argument actually is.
If you are referring to ancient Rome, there was not an anti-imperialist argument.
The major argument was the absence of a bill of rights in the Constitution
it is an opinion that is not based on fact, but is based sole on opinion.
"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.
They are two different cultures. Palestinians are generally Arab Muslims, with roots in the area going back to at least the Byzantine era, if not longer. Israelis are generally Jews of all ethnicities, traditionally believed to be the descendants of the diaspora come back to the "Promised Land" of Moses. Each has a strong argument as to why they should be there, but only the Israelis have had recognized legitimacy from the Western World, especially the US.
The U.S. saw the Cubans being treated by the spanish the way the british treated the colonists.
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.

State your argument outright at the beginning, and structure your paper so each paragraph helps you prove that point.
The basic argument is religion, a long way second is who owns the land they are on.
The ontological argument is a philosophical argument for the existence of God that is based on the concept of existence or being. It suggests that the very concept of God being the greatest possible being necessarily implies his existence. This argument has been presented and debated by various philosophers throughout history, such as Anselm of Canterbury and RenΓ© Descartes.
