Pro-Palestinian Answer
Israel stole the land via safety zones or forced those out of work and bought the land for a pittance. Israel continues to occupy the stolen land and defies all peace talks.
Only recently Israel murdered an opposition leader while peace talks where being negotiated in Russia. Israel has no interest in peace or dividing the land equally.
Answer
The Occupied Palestinian Territories are a source of conflict because Israel has control of the territory, but is not well represented by the civilian population of the region. Palestinians have a claim to that piece of land and Israel has actively prevented the realization of that claim through the use of settlements. Palestinians have actively prevented the realization of their own claim by circumventing the peace process and, in the case of Hamas, actively seeking to torpedo peace talks and launching rockets at civilian areas with the intent to sow the seeds of conflict.

The question sort of answers itself, i.e. if one force occupies another and the occupied do not like being under the occupying force, it will precipitate conflict. In this case, though, to make it a little more explicit, the areas currently considered to be the Occupied or Disputed Territories (Gaza, the West Bank - including East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights - including the East Bank of the Sea of Galilee) are primarily populated by Arabs. These territories came under Israeli control as a result of the Six-Day War. The Armistice that ended that War (UN Resolution 242) explicitly states that disputed territories will be returned to Arab control in return for peace. As these territories have not be devolved to Arab control and have, in fact, been populated by Israeli Settlers, many Arabs see this as a violation of the Resolution. Israel responds in a twofold manner, 1) That the exact border prior to the war is unacceptable for Israeli Security and 2) That the peace must come first and then the territory will be devolved. These views are endorsed by the British who wrote the Resolution. However, since the Resolution does not say whether peace must come first or devolution must come first, both are seen as acceptable readings by different people.

A:The current conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis is not really about religion, but about land. The Jews claim a historical right to Israel, at the same time continuing to encroach on the remnant Palestinian Territories. The Palestinians have no choice but to accept the presence of Israel within defined borders, but think of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian Territories as the theft of land and a continued humiliation of their people. The League of Nations gave Britain a mandate to govern the lands west of the Jordan River after the end of the First World War. The League of Nations disintegrated as a result of the Second World War and was eventually replaced by the United Nations. When the Jews realised that Britain was moving towards granting independence to the Palestinian Mandate on a democratic single-state basis, the Jews began a program of terrorism designed to drive Britain out of Palestine. Britain handed the "problem" over to the United Nations, which initially favoured a division that provided approximately equal shares of the land to each side. After initiating a civil war in which many of the Palestinians fled the future state of Israel or were actually driven out, Israel unilaterally declared independence. For one day, 11th May 1949, Israel consented to negotiate United Nations proposals, during which time Israel was accepted as a member of the United Nations, then Israel reneged on any further discussions. The Palestinians did not accept this situation, but Israeli military power has forced a change of position on the part of the Palestinian leaders.There are no doubt some Palestinians who would like to see Israel destroyed, just as there are Jews who would like to see the Palestinian Territories destroyed, but most Palestinians who continue to fight would settle for a secure territory behind secure borders. Time is on the Israeli side, as Israelis can continue to build Jewish settlements on Palestinian land as long as Israel remains the colonial power in the Territories.
