How long were the Jews away from Palestine?
There have always been Jews in Palestine. They were not the majority between the years 132 CE and 1949 CE.
Who are the Jews fighting with in the year of 2008?
Jews are a religious group. That religious group was not engaged in any holy wars or other religious confrontation in the year 2008. The question may perhaps be referring to Jewish social concerns where Jews "fight" in courtrooms the world over for equality and justice, but this is not the common usage of the word "fight".
If the asker is using the term "Jews" euphemistically and incorrectly to refer to "Israelis", the answer would be that Israel was fighting Gaza in late 2008 to early 2009. It is incorrect to use the term "Jews" to refer to the Israelis since Israel has several minorities that serve in its government and army who are not Jewish, yet still have an important say in Israel's future and ideals.
Which businesses support Israel?
The shops that help Israil are : Macdonald , lLidl , aldi and mark&spencer.
Is it common for Israelis and Palestinians to marry with each other?
No. It is very rare, but the probability increases if you talking about Arab Israelis and Palestinians (as opposed to Jewish Israelis and Palestinians).
Why Israel is the enemy of so many of its Arab neighbors?
The question is peculiarly constructed. Where Israel "is the enemy" of another
country, the reason is that the people or power structure of that country have
decided that Israel is their enemy. And the reason for THAT, at least in the case
of Israel's 'neighbors', is that they have never come to peace with the concept of
a Jewish country in their neighborhood, and have set their mind to eliminating it.

Where can you get a topographic map of the old city of Jerusalem?
See the attached Related Links. They're both online and free. Just hold and drag the map to Israel with your left mouse button, and then double-click your left mouse button repeatedly to get the scale you want. See which of the two maps you prefer.
On the ArcGis map, once you have Jerusalem on its screen, click the "Basemap" box on the top of the page to see various features you can click to overlay. Note that the elevation levels are not visible on all of the map's size-scales; see which scale works best.
On the Topomapper map, click the various circles on the right side of the page to get differing overlays. Note that the topographical overlay shows elevation bars but has places labeled in Russian words, so you'll want to see the place names in one of the non-topographical modes first.
Another possibility is Google Earth, which is a free download and has a map showing a one-point elevation at the very bottom of the page as you scroll your cursor over the map. That feature is useful for finding the elevation of a particular location.
Is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict a genocide?
Other Community Views:
Despite the two thousand rockets which Gazans have fired against Israeli civilians this month alone (July 2014), their war crimes are not yet on a scale to be considered actual genocide (though it may be attempted genocide).
(And Israel's defensive response, though causing collateral deaths, is not directed deliberately at civilians.)
