Palestinian Answer
Palestinians have a diverse set of desires. The majority wish that they could remove Israel as a State entirely, but realize that Israel is not going anywhere. As a result, a number of the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza are willing to negotiate for the 1949 borders. There are several organizations working to that goal. There are others who refuse to acknowledge that Israel must exist and believe that they should control all of the land that previously belonged to Arabs.

When will the killing in Gaza Stop?
The answer depends on whether you take a Palestinian viewpoint or an Israeli viewpoint. Palestinians allege that Israel is occupying the Gaza Strip and in so doing murdering Palestinians. Israelis allege that they would prefer to leave Gaza alone, but are drawn into the conflict by the constant barrage of rockets and attacks. The bottom line is that the killing will not stop until both sides are willing to accept a peaceful solution to the conflict.
How did zionism set the stage for present day conflicts between Israelis and the palestinians?
Zionism is one of many contributing factors that led to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The reason for this is that Zionism is the nationalistic philosophy that led to Israel's creation. Without Zionism, there would be no Israel and therefore the conflict would not have existed. However, without Arab Nationalism, universal Anti-Semitism, and inequality between Jews and Muslims in Arab countries, there would never have been a reason for conflict either.
Is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict about land?
This question is divisive and so you may get conflicting answers.Answer 1No. It is a conflict between ideologies. The land-issue is just a diversion from the actual goal, which is to remove Jews and their State from the Middle East.Answer 2Partially. In order to resolve whether a conflict is over is exclusively over a certain piece of land, you can ask the question: if one side got all of the land that they wanted would there be peace. In the Morocco-Algeria Sands War of 1981-1982, there would be (as each just wanted control of a small piece of land). In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, there would still be sectarian conflicts, even if the land was returned. However, having access to the land and control over it is certainly among the aims of both sides.The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is primarily a nationalistic conflict, between two camps of peoples: Israelis (Jews, Israeli Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, Circassians, and others on the one side) and Palestinians (Palestinian Muslims, Palestinian Christians, and others on this side) who identify with specific national governments and governing ideologies. This is similar to other conflicts between nations, such as between India and Pakistan where Indians and Pakistanis identify by loyalty to their countries and those countries' governing ideologies. Part of nationalistic identity is a view of where their borders are and in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the Israelis and Palestinians do not agree on where the borders should be between the two countries (or even whether there should be two countries).
Why is it important for a just and peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict?
Most people would find this to be self-evident. With the exception of a few, everybody hopes and dreams for a day when everyone can come home after a hard day's work and raise kids without the fear of recriminations, retaliations, bombs, or hateful rhetoric. Only a just and peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict can do that for the Israelis and Palestinians.
Why did Palestinians fear Jewish immigration?
Palestinians feared Jewish immigration because they (correctly) believed it to be the precursor to the establishment of an independent Jewish State. The Jews who settled in the British Mandate of Palestine made their intentions very clear. The Palestinians were afraid that a Jewish state would serve to antagonize them and make their lives worse.
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 result
How did the Arab-Palestinian conflict begin?
The Arab-Palestinian Conflict began with the flight of Palestinians from Mandatory Palestine into the surrounding Arab countries where they were waylaid and mistreated from 1947 to the present. The Arab countries made every effort possible to avoid integrating, settling, helping the Palestinian refugees in their moment of crisis. Instead they immediately built refugee camps from which the Palestinians would never be able to leave.

Were the ancient Palestinians Atheists?
AnswerNo. Almost everyone back in the day had a religion and Palestinians if not Muslim would have had tribal religions.

What did the Palestinians hope would happen by 2000?
They hoped that they would have an independent Palestinian State.
Should Palestinians be allowed to return to Jerusalem?
the awnser for this questionYes, no one should be banned from returning to something that was once theirs Another Answer:The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complicated. There are Palestinians who live in Israel as Israeli citizens.Israel never forced the Palestinians to leave Israel. The neighboring Arab countries warned the Palestinians that Israel was going to be attacked. The Palestinians believed that Israel would be destroyed and they would simply return home. Well, that did not work. Israel was not destroyed. Many Jews were under attack in the Arab countries they lived in, so they fled to Israel where they were taken in. The Arab countries in return did not take in the Palestinians that they instructed to leave.Israel is a democracy, in Israel there are Palestinians who have equal rights. Israel is worried about its safety and therefor is not planning on allowing the Palestinians, who willingly left, return. The Palestinians are taken advantage of by their corrupt leaders and other countries. They are used being used. The Palestinians blame Israel for their misfortune and thus dislike Israel. Because of this, Israel is not willing to freely allow them into the country.There is an additional demographic reason too, beyond the fact that Jewish people have moved to Israel in a kind of a 'swap'; since the great-grandparents / grandparents / etc of the current generation of Palestinians left Israel, the number of descendants of those original Palestinians has increased beyond the remotest possibility of Israel's capacity to safely re-accommodate them.
Why have Arab governments forbidden Palestinians from leaving their refugee camps and becoming active members and citizens of those other Arab States?
If Arab governments permitted Palestinians to become citizens of their states, it would offer a viable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict especially where refugees are concerned. This would help to legitimize Israel, which is something that the Arab States prefer to avoid. Therefore they allow these refugees and their descendents to suffer needlessly to strengthen their political ploy that Israel needs to go. Unfortunately, Arabs are not critical of this particular government action which expresses inhumanity to their own Arab brethren and prefer to tow the government line and blame Israel for a pitiable situation for which it is not responsible. (This is not to say that Israel does not have concessions to make with regards to Palestine, only that the situation of Palestinians in Arab countries is not within Israel's control.)

What were the difficulties the Jews had living in Israel?
The Jews STILL live there, and they still have difficulties. The biggest problem is the situation with the Palestinian Territories. The Israelis require the Palestinians to recognize them as a state in order to gain independence, but the Palestinians refuse. On the Other hand, The Palestinians, want full control over the old city of Jerusalem, and the Israelis refuse. The Palestinian Authority has repeatedly stated that it will not recognize or deal with Israel. But another complication there is that all of the power, water, and cell phone service in the Territories come from Israel. In order for Israel to give complete independence, it would have to stop supplying the Palestinians with electricity and water, which they just can't do.
What is the war called between the Palestinians and the Jews called?
The facile answer would be 'Almost Continuous'.
What is the biggest concern for most Palestinians?
The biggest concern for most Palestinians is their future. They are worried that more and more illegal settlers will take over the land designated for the Palestinians. Settlers erect their homes legally according to Israeli views which would then drive the Palestinians away from their land.
