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.
When were the Nuremberg Laws repealed?
The Nuremberg Laws became inoperative at the end of World War 2. However, the handful of German Jews still in Germany were classified for certain purposes at stateless persons. In 1949 the newly founded Federal Republic of Germany included an important section on German citizenship in the constitution, and everyone who had been deprived of German citizenship on racial or political grounds during the Nazi period (and their offspring) was offer restoration of citizenship.
In 1948 Jews set up Israel in part of what country?
Answer 1In 1948 The Jewish Areas of Palestine and the Arab Areas of Palestine split intotwo countries; however the Palestinians didn't accept this split.Answer 2The British mandate of Palestine, an overseas possession of the British Empire (and therefore not a country), was created after World War I after the defeat of the Turkish Ottoman Empire.The intention was to create a "national home of the Jews" within the area of Palestine without compromising the status of the existing majority Arab population. Quite how this was expected to happen is one of the great mysteries of British foreign policy.By the time the British Mandate ran out, various schemes had been proposed to divide the land between the Jewish and Arab population but both sides rejected every idea. Once the British left, the issue was decided by force of arms after the unilateral declaration of a Jewish State. The Jews eventually gained control of the majority of Palestine, with the exception of the West Bank territory and the Gaza Strip. This area was recognized by the UN security council as the State of Israel.The remainder of Palestine was annexed by Jordan (West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza), leaving the Palestinian people in a stateless limbo, which was further complicated by the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.Answer 3While agreeing with much of what Answer 2 brings up, the following issues are worth clarifying.When discussing how Israel arose after the British departure, and saying that the issue was decided by force of arms, it is worth pointing out that there was a simultaneous invasion of Israel by the massed armies of ALL the surrounding countries plus Iraq, followed by unexpected Israeli victory and survival after the unilateral declaration of a Jewish State. In addition to the recognition of the State of Israel afforded by the UN security council, the UN General Assembly recognized Israel as a nation and admitted it as a full UN member less than a year later.The stateless limbo that the Palestinians found themselves in is not only due to Israeli action. All of the Arab countries that Palestinians fled to also declined to grant them citizenship and continue to decline them citizenship. The issue of Palestinian citizenship and a political future was complicated by the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza by Israel, and by the Hamas split with the Palestinian Authority and armed takeover of Gaza following the 2006 Israeli withdrawal.
Are there stateless Palestinians in Lebanon?
Yes. There are 400,000 Palestinian Refugees in Lebanese UNRWA camps. They are denied work papers in Lebanon and have no citizenship. This makes them essentially locked away in these camps perpetually.
Are Arabic-speaking people stateless?
By and large, no. Most Arabs have citizenship of a number of Arab States and/or from Western States and Israel where they have immigrated. However, there is a small group of stateless Arabs who are the four million Palestinians in UNRWA refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the Palestinian Territories.
What do kurds and Palestinians have in common?
They are both considered stateless peoples.
Why did the Palestinians and Arabs fight over land?
The Arab governments (until the mid 1970s) were not interested in a Palestinian State. Jordan's King Abdullah very proudly controlled the West Bank and Egypt created a puppet government to control Gaza before taking direct control afterward. The brunt of the reasons that the Palestinians are stateless come from the Israelis, but the Arab regimes near Palestine similarly had no interest in the creation of a Palestinian State, but in the expansion of their own states.
Should the Arab Palestinians have their own nation?
As this is a "should" question, there are many viable views that can exist.Answer 1No they should not.Answer 2The Palestinians are a stateless people who deserve all the rights and freedoms that citizenship would confer on them. As Israel is not interested (for very reasonable reasons) on allowing all Palestinians to return to its sovereign territories and the surrounding Arab nations have treated the Palestinians barbarically, with the small exception of Jordan, it makes sense for the Palestinians to have their own country. The question then becomes one of borders.
Was Adolf Hitler a British citizen?

What are two stateless people in southwest Asia?
The likely answer you are looking for is KURDS and PALESTINIANS, but there are numerous other stateless peoples in the Middle East like the Assyrians, Laz, Circassians, Druze, Shabakis, Marsh Arabs, and Turkmen/Turcoman.
Can someone have no citizenship?
Yes. I heard that people can renounce their US citizenship legally. I do not think that many people have done it, but it's possible. Yes, you can have no citizenship. This usually occurs when you or your country decides to revoke your citizenship. In that case you become "A person without a country"! In practice, renouncing your U.S. citizenship without being a citizen of another country is difficult. During the 1950s and 1960s quite a few people tried it, including the mathematician John Nash (the movie A Beautiful Mind is based loosely on his life.) Nash would go to the American Embassy in Switzerland or France and renounce his citizenship, becasue he didn't approve of US politics, expecially nuclear arms. In some instances he was jailed, and in all cases he was deported back to the U.S., on a new passport issued by the U.S. embassy at the host country's request. The world is not really set up to have citizens who are countryless, unless you are a political refugee. There are many stateless persons in the world. The most common reason for being stateless is that one has been arbitrarily stripped (deprived) of citizenship by a dictatorship. If stateless persons give birth to children then they too may be stateless, unless they are born in a country where the country of birth confers citizenship, as in the U.S. (and more generally in the Americas). In Europe, for example, children take the citizenship of their parent(s). In some countries, stateless persons who have the status of refugees, enjoy some international protection from their country of residence, which can also issue them with a 'stateless person's passport'. However, being stateless is an unenviable status.
What is a person who gives up citizenship in one country and moves to another country?
