Technically they are not. The Palestinians are engaged in a struggle with the military and government of Israel. Unfortunately civilian casualties have become a common factor of the conflict.
Israel was established in Palestine following World War II. Almost immediately the Arab neighbours attacked the new state. Since then there have been further Arab-Israeli wars which has resulted in the occupation of Palestinian territory by the Israelis.
Furthermore Plan Dalet was implemented to displace Palestinians from their homes.
Ultimately what was created was a refugee situation. This is where the story becomes very sad. The Palestinian Refugee crisis has been a pawn in a political struggle ever since. Rather than being embraced and welcomed by neighbouring Arab states, the Palestinians have been left to live in refugee camps and they're plight has been used to justify anti-Israeli feelings across the Middle East.
The Palestinians are fighting with the Israeli government because they want to reclaim the land lost in the six days war.
They want the UN to force Israel to adhere to key resolutions regarding the occupation.
Some may even want to destroy the Israeli state altogether.
They are fighting against the Israeli government because Iran is financing them.
Bizarrely, the Israeli government used to finance the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is an offshoot, in an effort to guard against the PLO threat.
But they are also fighting the Israeli government because they have been used as a political pawn by Arab governments for decades. Nasser used them to further his own pan-Arabist agenda in the 1950s and 60s, just as Iran is using them now.
It's a very sad mess.
