What effect did the Assyrian conquest have on the Kingdom of Israel?
The northern ten tribes comprised the Kingdom of Israel. The Assyrians sent the aristocracy to rule peoples in Assyria, and imported a new aristocracy to rule the ten tribes. This technique ensured that each kingdom was ruled by an aristocracy which was not sympathetic to the locals, and avoided uprisings.
The Babylonians when they took over from Assyria also followed this successful technique. And the Babylonians also took over the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin, sending off their aristocracies to Babylon and importing a new ruling aristocracy from there to replace them. The 'exile' was the aristocracy. The mass of the people remained in place in both events.

What can Israel be compared with?

Did Israel pay for the original land in 1948?
Partially.
Initially, Jews bought land from the Ottomans in private transactions. Eventually, they pooled their moneys and formed the Jewish National Fund, whose primary objective was the purchase of land in the British Mandate of Palestine. The percentage of land in the British Mandate of Palestine that Jews had purchased individually or through the JNF by 1947 was roughly 10-12 percent of the British Mandate of Palestine, but the UN Partition Plan accorded the Jewish State 56 percent of the British Mandate as territory. When war broke out, the Jews made the conscious decision not to reimburse those who fled in the wake of the armies. As a result, when the armistice was declared in March of 1949, Jews had still not purchased any more land than what they held in 1947, but were now in control of 78% of the British Mandate of Palestine.
There are discussions in Israel today concerning reparation payments owed the Palestinians for some of this land acquisition. Those who support it say that it will help to wipe Israel's slate clean. Those who oppose it say that if the Arabs had been willing to permit a Jewish State, some bargain could have been struck then, but Israel has paid for that land with Israeli lives (both Jews and Non-Jews) lost in battle.

What are sources of conflict between the PLO and the Zionists?
The sources of conflict between the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization which has now been subsumed into the official State of Palestine government, and the Zionists, which have now been subsumed into the State of Israel and its general supporters, are no different than those between the Israelis and Palestinians as general groups.
As a result, it makes more sense to read the Related Question which discusses the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

How can Palestine be saved from the Israelis?
Answer 1
Palestine can be saved from the Israelis by demand freedom and equality for all.
Answer 2
At the moment, the greater impediment to a free Palestine is not Israel, but an ineffective Palestinian leadership. When Salam Fayyad was Prime Minister, the West Bank was making impressive strides towards organization and development. Since his departure and the integration of Hamas back into a Palestinian unity government, crime has increased and Palestinians are subject to more internecine violence. If the government were more similar to Tunisia, Palestine may well have already achieved independence.
Answer 3
For all who love Palestine, the more urgent question is: How to save her from the Palestinians.
Answer 4
Over the last 24 hours, more than one hundred Palestinian-made missiles have been fired from Gaza into Israeli civilianareas. In order to hinder Israeli attempts to silence the Palestinian rocket-launchers, Hamas has surrounded them with Palestinian women and children as a human shield (Reuters news, July 8, 2014), since they know that Israel tries to avoid hitting civilians even collaterally. When the Palestinian militants decide to respect the lives of civilians, perhaps they'll also agree to meaningful negotiations.
The original inhabitants of Palestine are the Arabs and they are called Palestinians.
The illegal,racist and criminal entity so called Israel was established in 1948.

What was the name Israel mean?
Israel is a combination of two Hebrew morphemes: "ysr" and "el".
"El" means god, and when added to "ysr" it translates as: "of god". However, "ysr" can have many meanings and below are some of them.
1) It might come from the root S.R.R. So this may mean "rule", "prince", thus the whole name means "he who rules with god" ("thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed", Genesis 32:28 KJV).
2) It might come from the same root (S.R.R) in the meaning of "strive" or "struggle", thus it all means "he who struggles god", referring to the event in which his name was changed.
3) It might come from the root Y.SH.R, means "straight", "honest" or "righteous man", thus the name means "honest man of god", or something like that.

How has Arab rejection of the state of Israel led to ongoing conflict?
The Arab rejection of the State of Israel is one of the central reasons for the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The rationale is rather straightforward. Since the Arabs refused to recognize the validity of the state, they promote strongly worded rhetoric opposing it. This motivates citizens of Arab countries to have nothing but hate towards Israel and to be willing to fight to eradicate it. This strong will has led to actual wars against Israel and terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.
