There are isolated skirmishes between Religious Zionists and the Israeli Army. These come as a result of the Religious Zionists belief that Jews are promised all of the territory of the Land of Israel by God and therefore Palestinians are not entitled to any of it whereas the Israeli government has made concessions to the Palestinian Authority for peace. However, most of the confrontations are not between Israelis and Jews, but between Israelis (who are themselves mostly Jewish) and Palestinians. This conflict is described in more detail in the Related Question.

∙ 11y agoThey are fighting over land. Israel occupies Historic Palestine, a holy land for not only Jews, but Muslims and Christians as well. The State of Palestine does not want Israelis or Jews in this land, and wants it for the indigenous Palestinian People exclusively. In addition, the area Israel now occupies what was the British Mandate of Palestine until the end of World War II, when Israel declared independence, pursuant to UN Resolution 181.

Jews are a religious group. That religious group was not engaged in any holy wars or other religious confrontation in the year 2008. The question may perhaps be referring to Jewish social concerns where Jews "fight" in courtrooms the world over for equality and justice, but this is not the common usage of the word "fight". If the asker is using the term "Jews" euphemistically and incorrectly to refer to "Israelis", the answer would be that Israel was fighting Gaza in late 2008 to early 2009. It is incorrect to use the term "Jews" to refer to the Israelis since Israel has several minorities that serve in its government and army who are not Jewish, yet still have an important say in Israel's future and ideals.

If it is asking about Israel's internal political conflicts, they are often between Secular Jews and Religious Jews.

It depends on the particular conflict, but the two territories most in contention between the Israelis and Palestinians are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (including East Jerusalem).

The Jews had no right to take their land away from them.
