Best Answer

"Palestinian" is usually used to refer to the Arab former inhabitants of the British Mandate of Palestine and their descendants regardless of whether they live in those borders or not. Jews, Bedouins, Circassians and Druze Arabs who live or whose ancestors lived in that territory are not considered Palestinians.

What religions are in conflict in Palestine?

It depends what you mean by "Palestine". If you are referring exclusively to the Palestinian Territories, there are abuses by Muslim Palestinians of Christian Palestinians and the defacing of their holy sites and monuments. Additionally, there is a conflict between Jewish Israeli Settlers and Israeli Soldiers and Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian). If you are using "Palestine" as a shorthand for "Israel and Palestine", then the religions in the conflict are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, those religions are not at conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic/nationalist conflict where religions are used as ethnic identifiers (similar to the 1990s in Yugoslavia). It is not a theological conflict.

What year did the Israeli-Palestinian conflict start?

Well, first of all, the people we call Palestinians today were not called Palestinians when the conflict first started. They were just known as indigenous Arabs. They began to use the name Palestinians after 1967. The conflict began with increased Jewish immigration to the region in the early 1920's, but war actually started the day Israel was declared an independent Nation, on May 14, 1947.
