Why is Israel taking Palestinian land?

Answer 1

Answer 1

Israel does not take anyone´s land.

Answer 2

It depends on how the term "Palestinian Land" is understood. There are two competing definitions for this term and based on each definition there is a different answer.

1) All lands of the Mandate for Palestine: Israel is occupying the majority of these lands because it has the legal, historical, and political to do so. According to UN Resolution 181, a Jewish State could be formed out of part of the British Mandate for Palestine. Since the territory was controlled by the British at that time who had willfully ceded jurisdiction to the United Nations and the vote passed at 2/3, this UN Resolution has legal effect. As much as the Arab Nations may not like it or approve of it, International Law remains law.

2) Parts of the West Bank: The creation of the British Mandate for Palestine did not erase many of the older Ottoman Laws, nor did it change the actual ownership of property in the various areas of the Mandate. As a result, there were large areas of Palestinian territory that had no villages and whose owners lived in other countries. Several Israeli Settlements in the West Bank, such as Ariel, were built on lands in the West Bank that had not been occupied or used by the Palestinian Arabs at all. There are also numerous Palestinian cities with historic Jewish sites such as Hebron, Nablus (Shchem in Hebrew), etc. where Jews wish to be in order to be closer to their ancestors. The Settlers believe that they have the right to live closer to the various holy sites in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. For many of them, this is part of why God allowed Israel to conquer the West Bank in the first place. They want to raise their children and build a life near where Jewish civilization actually began, in the hills of Judea and Samaria which form the West Bank.

Answer 2

-- They believe that Israel is the Holy land and the center for modern religion.

-- There is no concrete historic evidence that the land was ever 'owned' by any

people that now exists, with the exception of the Jews.

-- Those 'Palestinians' who chose to stay in Israel while their 'brother' surrounding

nations attacked in 1948 in an attempt to drive the Jews into the sea now own

their own land in Israel, live wherever in Israel they choose including several all-

Arab towns, worship as they please including the many mosques they have built

in Israel since then, own their own businesses if that lifestyle appeals to them, and

with the votes of their men and women alike, send their chosen representatives

to the nation's parliament.

Answer 3

There is no 'why', as Israel is not invading Palestine.
