Do most Israelis practice Christi any?

No. Judaism is the primary religion of the state of Israel, and Islam is the second religion. (On the West Bank, Islam is the primary religion and in the settlements, Judaism). Christians are in third place in Israel (and in on the West Bank). There are villages in both Israel and the West Bank where Christian Arabs are in the majority.


What year did the Israelis withdraw from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank?

The Israelis unilaterally withdrew their settlements from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Israeli military incursions into the region happen occasionally, but the last large Israeli military presence in Gaza was as a result of Operation Cast Lead in late 2008 and early 2009. Israel has not withdrawn in any way from the West Bank.


What area are Jews and Arabs fighting over in Israel?

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). There is much contention between Israelis and Syrians over the Golan Heights and between Israelis and Lebanese there is some contention over the Shebaa Farms and the area south of the Litani River. It is important to note that while Israel is the Jewish State, its soldiers and citizens are Israelis and have important non-Jewish components. (This is why the word Jew has not been used above in favor of Israeli.)


Why did the Israelis allow the Palestinians to take control over the Gaza Strip and the West Bank territory in 1994?

They thought this would solve the peace problem but I hope you can clearly see they REALLY regret it. In Gaza Hamas has launched 10,000 rockets, mortars and grads since and in the west bank, it is a lot more quieter there but still anti-Israel. Israel is starting to take over the west bank which is great news for them and the west bank is also controlled by israel now.HintI am against killing civilians or even terrifying them. However, compare the number of Israelis killed by these 10000 rockets(a number that counts on the one hand fingers) by the number of Palestinians killed by the Israelis (a number that counts by hundreds if not thousands in addition to those in Jails).


Who lives in the Gaza strip and west bank?

All are Palestinians in both sides.


Where are the Israelis planning to build housing that has the Palestinians so upset?

Israel is building housing for Israeli citizens in East Jerusalem and the West Bank in contravention of international law.


How many people live in the Israeli West Bank settlements?

In 2011 according to CBS there were 327,750 Israelis living in the west bank and an additional 190,000 living in East Jerusalem. The combined growth rate for the Jewish population in these areas was 5.2% and has been stable for the past 20 years, whereas the Arab population of the west bank grows at the rate of 2.0%. By these projections the Jewish population is set to become the majority in the West Bank within 45 years


What two territories where at the heart of Arab and israel conflict in 1948?

The two territories that have been a continual battle zone between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Some Jews identify the West Bank by the name of its Biblical Regions: Samaria (North of Jerusalem) and Judea (South of Jerusalem).
