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.)

The conflict in Israel today is between which two religious groups?

It depends which "Conflict in Israel" the question is asking about. If it is asking about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the conflict is, strictly speaking, between Israelis and Palestinians which are national groups, not religious groups. However, the majority of Israelis are Jewish and the majority of Palestinians are Muslim. (However, there are numerous Muslim Israelis, Druze Israelis, and there are both Christian Israelis and Christian Palestinians.) If it is asking about Israel's internal political conflicts, they are often between Secular Jews and Religious Jews.

Is Jerusalem part of the British empire?

No. Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel which is an indepedent sovereign state (country). Israel was a British protectorate from the end of WWI until 1948. The Israelis recognize the importance of Jerusalem in the Christian and Islamic traditions and they maintain access to the Holy Land and the holy sites for all visitors. Given the tension between Israel and her Islamic neighbours, the Israelis have been very generous in their treatment of the Palestinians, but the Palestinians have been encouraged by other Muslim states to reject co-operation with the Israelis. It is sad because the Palestinians would do much better by accepting Israeli help. It is interesting that the only military campaigns against Israel were waged by the Egyptians who are not Arabs at all.


How will Israel divide Jerusalem?

I do not believe that Israel would willing divide Jerusalem. If such a division did occur, because of some peace treaty negotiations, the city would likely be divided between West Jerusalem (to Israel) and East Jerusalem (to Palestine) and the Old City of Jerusalem would be under some sort of Israeli or international aegis. After the failure of the Taba Summit Agreement, the Israeli populace would not get behind a Palestinian-controlled Old City.
