How did the Palestinian Arabs become people without a country?

In 1948, Jews didn't have a country, so they invaded Palestine, killed many Palestinians, and forced many out. The Jews then changed the name of Palestine to Israel.

What countries border palestine?

It depends on how you define Palestine. If you define it as the territories under the de facto control of the Palestinian Authority, it only borders Israel. If you consider only the territories of the West Bank, even those under de facto Israeli control, it borders both Israel and Jordan. If you consider all of the Palestinian Territories, also including the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, it borders Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. If you consider the former Mandate of Palestine that many Arabs use when they discuss Palestine replacing Israel, it would border Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon (but no Israel since Israel would be gone).


Why is palestine important to Jews?

Zionism is the philosophy that the Jews should have their own independent state in the Middle East. Therefore, anything related to Israel traces back to Zionism. Of course, Israel is not the only source of conflict in the Middle East, but one of many.


What was the relationship between Israel and Palestine like before 1984?

If this question is asking about political relations between Israel and Palestine, then the answer is rather simple: Palestine did not exist. Palestine only became a country in the late 1980s or early 1990s depending on the particular interpretation of history chosen. At this point, the Palestine Liberation Organization, the forerunner to the current Palestinian Authority (the recognized government of Palestine), was a stateless organization that believed in no negotiation or peace with the State of Israel. If this question is asking about personal relationships between Israelis and Palestinians, the question becomes more complicated. Between 1949 and 1967, Israeli Jews had little if any contact with Palestinians. The Israeli Arab communities tried to maintain links across the border with Jordan, but with little luck. Between 1967 and 1987, many Palestinians got jobs in Israel and correspondingly, there was relatively high degree of contact. Palestinians formed large portions of the workforce in many unskilled professions during this period. While the Occupation certainly bothered and infuriated the Palestinians, it was nowhere near as strong and omnipresent as it has been since the Intifadas.

How have Israelis treated the Palestinians?

Israel and the State of Palestine are major enemies. They have been conflicting since the formation of the Jewish state in 1948. Israel and Palestine have been involved in several wars, all of which Israel has won. Israel is a greater military power than Palestine, which is why Israel has won more wars and killed more Palestinians in the process. However, the Israelis are only defending their nation. Israel has occupied Palestine for almost sixty years. Israel has the right to protect itself against attacks, and has a strict military policy to protect itself because it is surrounded by enemy nations. The current government of Palestine is regarded as a terrorist organization by many countries, such as Israel and the United States, which is why Israel is especially cautious.

Why doesn't the US become allies with Palestine?

The US will not become allies with Palestine because the US is a very strong ally of Israel. Israel and Palestine have been constantly feuding over land in the area and many lives have been lost as a result. This is why Palestine is also not a member of the United Nations. Even though they have applied for membership more than once, they have always been vetoed by the US because the US and Israel are close allies. This is also why Iran and the US have bad relations, as Iran and Israel are enemies and are on the brink of nuclear war. Many Western nations side with Israel on matters as well, which is why almost all of Western Europe does not recognize Palestine as a country (as neither does the US).

How many states did the United Nations propose dividing Palestine into?

It depends on how the question is read. If it is referring to UNGA Resolution 181 (II), which was passed in 1947 and was designed to deal with the British Mandate of Palestine, it was divided into 2 countries - Israel and Palestine, but the UN had proposed that the city of Jerusalem be made into a separate, international city. However, as a result of nearly 70 years of conflict, the current plan is to have the Eastern Jerusalem as the capital for the Palestinian State and the Western Jerusalem as the Capital for Israel State. Israel insists to have the whole Jerusalem as Israel capital.

Who is in charge of palestine?

The British Mandate of Palestine covered all of current day Israel (including the occupied territories) and Jordan, as well as parts of Syria. Currently however, the term Palestine refers to the Occupied Territories where Israel has put the Palestinians previously occupying what is now Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces controls Palestine with an iron fist, though recently there has been efforts to bring the Palestinian Authority to power. This has not been successful as of yet because of many things, among them Israel's want for an Israeli Jerusalem without Palestinians and Israel's wants for better safety for their citizens (leading to much worse safety for Palestinians).
