A number of things would have to take place before a long-standing peace (as opposed to a mere cessation of hostilities) could take place. There are other requisites, but there are the most important.

1) Mutual Recognition: Israel would need to recognize a completely independent and sovereign Palestinian Government that would fully control a certain amount of the former British Mandate of Palestine (most likely Gaza and the West Bank). Israel would also have to confer on this state the unambiguous nature of being correct and necessary for Israel. Conversely, Palestine would have to recognize the Right for Israel to Exist as a Jewish State occupying the remaining amount of the British Mandate of Palestine (most likely 1949-Israel). Both sides would have to recognize the historical and emotional value that the land also has to the other.

2) Regional/International Recognition: States that have adopted attitudes strongly favoring one side at the expense of the other, such as the Arab States would need to recognize the legitimacy of both Israel and Palestine.

3) Israeli Reparation Payments: Israel dispossessed many Palestinians of their property, either by malicious activities that took place during the Arab-Israeli Wars or by Ben-Gurion refusing to let Palestinians who left return after the 1948-9 War. Israel needs to pay the Palestinian government reparations for the land that was taken in this way.

4) Israeli Withdrawal from the Settlements: Israel must withdraw from the Settlements to provide Palestine with a viable infrastructure and complete sovereignty. The Settlers must return to Israeli territory. The buildings, however, should be left as partial payment of the above-mentioned reparations.

5) Palestinians Must Concede Right of Return: Recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish State is meaningless if Palestinians en masse are allowed to Return to Israel. Therefore, Palestinians (and their backers) must abandon the notion that they can ever return to Israeli territory. Palestinians should leave the refugee camps and become proper citizens in this new country of Palestine.

6) Jerusalem Must Be Shared or Internationalized:Palestine and Israel both want Jerusalem and the only way to solve this is either divide the city East/West respectively and divide the Old City or Internationalize the City or some combination of Internationalization and division. Neither side will rest until it can assure its followers that its holy sites will be protected.

7) Liberal Thought: Just in general, people have to be willing to compromise and live with that compromise.

Why did the fighting between the Arabs and Jews increase in 1945?

Answer 1This is when the Jews officially declared to become an independent country at the United Nations. This angered the Arabs so the Jews had to fight for their independence for their new country: Israel.Answer 2A distinction must be made between the increase in fighting in 1945 and the further increase in 1948 (which is what the above answer discusses) the reasons for the increase in fighting as soon as World War II ended are as follows:The Zionists and others who supported the Creation of the Jewish Nation were finally able to get the International Community to see the entrenched nature of Anti-Semitism in Europe after the Holocaust. This international perspective finally allowed Jews to successfully campaign for a State. When the United Nations was formed and indicated this would be a goal of theirs (the Partitioning of the Mandate of Palestine), a large number of Jews from refugee camps across Europe began to immigrate both legally and illegally to the territory. Arabs, who were repulsed by the idea of a Jewish State, used militias formed to oppose the British occupation and turned them against the Jews. The Jews responded with similarly formed militias and targeted the Arabs.

However, he was only able to kill those Jews who lived in countries that Nazi Germany was able to conquer, which were mostly in Europe.Concerning Jew-Killing: As for why Hitler killed Jews at all, please see the Related Question below.

Are Jews and Muslims descendants of Cane and Able?

Answer: No. The Jews descended from Isaac, and the Arabs from Ishmael. These were the two sons of Abraham from two different women. "Muslim" is not an ethnic designation like "Jew". Many non-Arabs are Muslim. In fact, the majority of Muslims are non-Arab.


How was Britain able to promise Jews a national home in Palestine?

Britain made a number of promises during World War I in an attempt to attract allies. In the Middle East, they made promises to Zionists and to Arabs. When World War I concluded, Britain had control of the Mandate of Palestine and thus they were able to retroactively buttress both the claims that they made to the Jews and those that they made to Arabs insofar as they wished to actually observe them.


What would have happened if the UN hadn't assigned a part of Palestine as the homeland for the Jews?

As a matter of fact, the UN in 1947 saved Arabs´skin. Before the UN decision, Jews and Arabs were already fighting in Palestine for more than 10 years. The start was given by the pogrom Arabs mounted in Hebron, but until the 40s, the war was what is called now "low profile": the Jews who lived in Palestine were in their majority quite peaceful immigrants whose combat experience was not superior to the Arab one, and the civil war between Jews and Arabs was a draw: Jews were much smaller in number and not strong enough to make Arabs accept them as equals in Palestine, and Arabs, although they vastly outnumbered Jews, were not able to give them the decisive blow and throw them out . The situation changed in the 40s, when the main body of the Jewish immigrants became those Jews who fought in the ranks of the Russian, American and British Armies in the WW2. And they fought not against some pathetic Hamas or miserable Hezbollah, but against the Nazi German Army. These people had such a combat experience Arabs whose part in the WWII was mainly limited by serving coffee first to German and then to British soldiers could not even dream of. Another part of the Jewish immigrants of the 40s were those Jews who passed through the German concentration camps and by a miracle stayed alive. They passed through hell , they were determined not to let this hell happen to them and their children - and they were quite ready to kill anyone who would try to let this hell happen to them again. They were badly armed, but in the after - war Middle East getting arms was not a serious problem. And in knowing how to use these arms, Arabs were not a match to these desperate and well-trained people. In a very short time, the situation changed; these Jewish immigrants started to beat the Arabs up and to actually push the Arab immigrants out of Palestine. There was also another serious factor for the Jewish victory: Jews had nowhere to go, while Arabs knew that they could always return to their native countries: Egypt. Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and so on... Without the UN decision about the Partition of Palestine in two States: Jewish and Arab, Jews would send Arabs running back to Egypt, Lebanon and other Arab countries they came from , and the question about any Arab State in Palestine would never even appear on the international agenda.

Soon after Israel became an independent state war broke out between the?

(Arabs and Israelis)When in 1947 the U.N. called for the dividing of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the Arabs refused to go along. They claimed that all of Palestine belonged to them. So when the Jews declared their part of Palestine to be the independent State of Israel, the Arabs declared war on Israel. Even though several Arab nations (including Jordan, Syria, and Egypt) attacked Israel, the Israelis were able to defend their land.


Was Hitler aiming only to kill Jewish people or were Arabs on his list too?

It's complicated. When people say that Hitler was an Anti-Semite, they are primarily using that term to refer to Jew-hatred. While Hitler did consider Arabs to be subhuman, he considered them a notch above Jews and other European minorities. Also, since Arabs were not present in Europe at that time, there was no reason to push for their extermination. Additionally, many Arab leaders, especially Haj Amin al-Husseini were rabid Anti-Semites as well. Arabs had become enticed by Nazism because it complemented their fight against the British and French and because many Arabs were able to read Mein Kampf and pretend they were the Master Race who had been defrauded by the Jews. On this account, Hitler helped to coordinate plans and ideas for Jewish slaughter with these Arab leaders and accepted them as temporary allies against the Jews, who were, in his view, the much more pressing "threat". If Hitler had been successful, there is no reason to believe that Hitler would not have invaded the Arab World. In that scenario, Arabs would likely have been treated like the Slavs were, as second-class, but permitted citizens who walked a razor's edge between joining with minorities like Jews and Gypsies and living acceptable lives.


How many Arabs became refugees in the war of 1948?

In May 1948, about 1,250,000 Arabs lived in British Mandate Palestine. 670,000 Arabs fled the new state of Israel and slightly less than 65,000 were ever able to return to their homes. That resulted in slightly more than 605,000 Palestinian Arabs, becoming refugees in countries outside of the new state of Israel. Children and other relatives, have been added to the total number of Palestinian refugees over the years.
