Why are the Occupied Palestinian Territories a source of conflict?
Pro-Palestinian AnswerIsrael 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.AnswerThe 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.To see general causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, please see the Related Question below.
Who are the Israelis and Palestinians?
Palestinian people today is one of the terms referring mainly to Arab people with family origins in Palestine. The religion of Palestinians is primarily Islam, but there are others who consider themselves Palestinian, including Christians, Druze, and Jews.In British Mandate Palestine, all those granted citizenship by the Mandatory authorities were granted "Palestinian citizenship," including the newly arriving Jewish immigrants. The term "Palestinian" as used by the Mandatory authorities referred to all people residing there, regardless of religion. Following the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people, the use and application of "Palestine" and "Palestinian" by and to non-Arab Palestinians dropped from use; and its use was again taken up by its Arabs after the establishment of the PLO in 1964. The English-language newspaper The Palestine Post for example, primarily served the Jewish community in British Mandate Palestine; after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the newspaper's name was changed to The Jerusalem Post. Today, Palestinian Jews generally identify as "Israelis". The more precise terminology Palestinian Arab which was in use until the 1960s is often contracted/abbreviated - at the expense of some linguistic clarity or for political purposes - to the now commonly used Palestinian. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it is common for Arab citizens of Israel to identify themselves as both "Israeli" and "Palestinian" and/or "Palestinian Arab" or "Israeli Arab" in most cases.The Palestinian National Charter, as amended by the Palestine National Congress in July 1968, states that "The Palestinians are those Arab nationals who, until 1947, normally resided in Palestine regardless of whether they were evicted from it or stayed there. Anyone born, after that date, of a Palestinian father-whether in Palestine or outside it-is also a Palestinian." The Charter also allows that "The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion are considered Palestinians."The most recent draft of the Palestinian constitution expands the definition of Palestinian to state that: "Palestinian citizenship shall be organized by law without prejudicing the right of anyone who acquired it before 15 May 1948 in accordance with the law or the right of the Palestinian who was resident in Palestine before that date. This right is transmitted from fathers and mothers to their children. The right endures unless it is given up voluntarily.The Palestinians are Arabs that moved into Palestine a century ago. Many of them came from Jordan and Syria.The Palestinians are an Arab-speaking people with family origins in Palestine, an area now known as Israel along with Israeli territories, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
What are the wars in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict?

Did the Israelis kill the Palestinians and steal Palestine?
Answer 1Yes they did, in 1947 the Israelis took over Palestine, trying to wipe out every Palestinian when some survived after this tragedy happened. The Israeli's are saying that they did not try to wipe out every Palestinian and there wasn't even anyone there when we got there.Answer 2It's quite complicated and there are two questions in this question.Firstly, did Israelis kill the Palestinians? Yes, but it was for the most part a conflict not a civilian massacre. There were certainly events that led to numerous Palestinian deaths and the removal of Palestinians from large swathes of land. Throughout the fighting (from 1947-1949) numerous Palestinians were forced from their homes inside what would become Israeli territory, culminating in the Israeli atrocities committed against the Palestinian people in such places as Deir Yassin. Other Palestinians left in fear that they too could be attacked and forced to leave. This climate of fear and and desire to leave was increased by Arab leaders who encouraged such activities claiming that it would get civilians out of the way while the fighting occurred. After the War and the elimination of Israel, the Palestinians would return without issue. This did not happen as Israel was victorious. Palestinians call this event (the overall war and removal from their homes) the Nakba or Great Catastrophe.Secondly, did the Israelis steal Palestine. No. While Israel certainly acquired a lot more of the former British Mandate than they were initially given, this does not fall under theft since Israel was not fighting an expansionary war, but a defensive war. As concerns the original Israeli territory as allotted by the United Nations Resolution 181, allocating territory to Jewish State and to an Arab State (Palestine), this is settled law and completely legal. Therefore it is not theft. However, people chose to avoid the legal definitions of things when those do not accord with their personal feelings.
When was the 1967 borders plan first devised for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks?
Oslo Accords, 1993. There was no discussion of a borders plan prior to this because prior to the Oslo Accords there was no Palestinian or pro-Palestinian organization or country that was willing to recognize a State of Israel being part of a final solution. Contrary to what many on both sides say about the Roadmap to Peace, the Roadmap has consistently been based on the 1967 borders with landswaps to account for security and population concerns.

Are the Gaza Strip and the West Bank still being fought over today?
The West Bank is certainly being fought over. There is a Palestinian Government (the Palestinian Authority) which claims the territory of the West Bank to be its sovereign land and an occupying Israeli Government (the State of Israel) that claims stewardship of the territory pending a final treaty or similar agreement. The two sides occasionally clash over these views. As for the Gaza Strip, while it is certainly true that fighting between the Hamas government and the Israeli government occurs in and around the Gaza Strip, it is not being fought over. This is to say that the Israeli government makes no claim to the territory in the Gaza Strip. Therefore it is exclusively Palestinian Territory. Also, the last remnant of Fatah in Gaza was excised in 2007, so there is no intra-Palestinian fighting either for control of the territory.

Why is the Israeli government not the real terrorists?
The Middle East is a region where emotions run high, and both the Israelis and the Palestinians have been the victims of attacks by extremists. But it is unfair to say that only one side is "the real terrorists." Sadly, both sides have their extremists-- there have been attacks by Palestinian suicide bombers who have killed innocent civilians in Israel. Similarly, innocent Palestinians have died when the Israeli military attempted to kill someone they believed was a terrorist leader and innocent civilians also died. At this point, each side firmly believes the other side is to blame, and there has been little movement towards a peace plan. But it should be noted that the Israeli government does not engage in targeting and killing civilians, which is one of the main definitions of terrorism. The Israeli government has always been regretful about the loss of innocent life, and the majority of Israelis do not rejoice or celebrate about the deaths of Palestinian civilians. Unfortunately, most Muslims in the region are taught that the existence of Israel is the cause of the problems; while Israelis are taught that the problems are caused by the unwillingness of certain pro-Palestinian groups to give up terrorist attacks.
