What country lost territory to Israel?
Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and (depending on your definition of country) Palestine have all lost territory to Israel.
Jordan: Admittedly all of the taken Jordanian territory was itself territory taken from the British Mandate of Palestine (and not part of the land granted to Hashemite Kings by the British).
Egypt: The Egyptian territory taken in the Sinai has been subsequently returned to Egypt on two different occasions (1956-1956, 1967-1982).
Syria: Syria has lost the eastern bank of the Sea of Galilee (part of the British Mandate of Palestine) and the Golan Heights (part of the French Mandate of Syria) to Israel and these territories have not been returned. Officially (according to the UN), the Shebaa Farms in the Golan Heights is Lebanese territory (controlled by Israel) but the Lebanese government considers that territory to be Syrian.
Palestine: Israel overran Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 and retained them as Occupied Territories. In 1993, Israel devolved parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to the Palestinian Authority and in 2005 ceded the remainder of the Gaza Strip to that government. The West Bank has remained a smattering of Palestinian and Israeli military control while Gaza is under complete Palestinian control (currently exercised by Hamas).
Lebanon: Southern Lebanon (south of the Litani River) was occupied by Israeli forces from 1982-2000, but was never considered to have become Israeli territory by the Lebanese or the Israelis the way that the other territories have been considered.
What were ten events that occurred in the Palestine Israeli conflict?
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very complex, but i will summarize it for you.
There was no such thing called Israel before 1948, it was Palestine, from the river to the sea, the whole land.
in the 19th century Jews were prosecuted in Europe, so they established the Zionist movement which its main goal is to establish a Jewish state.
The Zionist had their eyes on Palestine.before world war 1 Jews population in Palestine consisted of 3%.. 97% were majority Muslims and some Christians. The Jews stared to immigrate to Palestine after world war 1 to take over the land. They slaughtered and killed many Palestinians who were the indigenous people of the land. united nations decided to seperate the land, 56% for jews and 44% for Palestinian, which is unfair for Palestinians because its their homeland.
So they established the State of Israel and they started to steal more and more land. Now its about 95% of the land for Israel, and 5% for the Palestinians, while before world war 1 it was 100% for Palestinians who the whole land belongs to them.
I hope my information was useful and that i summarized the conflict in a simple way .
How do you think the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict has impacted the world?
I think that it have caused a rift between religon since Israel is mostly Judaism and Palestine is mostly Islamic, thus these two religions have been fighting over the holy lands for centuries. During the Crusades, Christians and Muslims fought over the holy lands and the Jewish people just watched. Now that the Jewish nation has a home in Israel and part of it was taken from Palenstine after WWII that would probably tick me off. Thus, the violence between all majors religions has caused resentment and prejudice which is the main leading cause of most terrorist attacks on all countries.
Is there any proof of African American lineage to the 12 tribes of Israel instead of Africa?
No. There is no genetic, historical, or scientific link to substantiate the Black Israelite Churches' claims that they are descended from the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
If anything, the Lost Tribes of Israel would be assimilated into the Middle East. The Black Israelite Churches believe that they are the Tribes of Israel regardless of any evidence. They also believe this in spite of the facts that many of the peoples they consider to be Israelite Tribes are either wholly or partially mixed with non-Blacks (such as Whites or Native-Americans). This should cause major theological problems since the Black Israelites' claim to be the true Israelites rests on the fact that they were moved by ships and sold in distant lands which did not occur for either Whites or Native-Americans.
Even the Biblical claim that the Black Israelites make is flawed. Most Black Israelites cite Deuteronomy 28:68 (below) as the proof that they are the Tribes of Israel. They were sent in ships to be sold as slaves. However, they do not see the final italicized words of the verse which say that nobody will purchase the slaves, indicating that the slaves would not be desired or bought. This is contrary to the history of the African slave trade which was an incredibly lucrative business since there was a high demand for slaves in the New World.
Deuteronomy 28:68: (NIV, italicization mine) 68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

What nation last occupied Palestine before Israel was proclaimed to be a state?
Answer 1
Ottoman Empire, from 1516 to 1917.
Great Britain was not an Occupying Power: it was a Mandatory Power in Palestine until 1948.
Answer 2
Great Britain exercised control over the Mandate of Palestine from 1919 to 1948 (when Israel became independent). Whether or not that is strictly construed as an occupation is not commonly questioned.The British made the laws, had the right to control police and military infrastructure, maintained ports and commerce, and directed political activities. Therefore, Great Britain was the final occupying power.
Palestine was never an independent Arab State or even a unified Arab Province in any Islamic Empire.
What is the current status of the Zionist Movement?
Well, Israel exists, so the Zionists were successful. However, there is international condemnation of the State of Israel and its Right to Exist, which forces Zionists to continue to push for public opinion to change and for people to accept the State of Israel as part of the International Community.
Where is israel located relative to neighboring countries?

Jews settled in some parts of Europe in Roman times.
Yes. However, Hezbollah is a very complex organization and has numerous additional wings, some which are not militant at all.
Hezbollah's most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Additionally, Hezbollah leadership tells its membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Since Hezbollah exists in countries with a weak internal support structure (Lebanon and Syria), it will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Hezbollah has all actively engaged in Lebanese elections with its own unique political party, on some occasions bullying the Lebanese people into voting for them. This created a violent stand-off in Beirut, between the elected government and Hezbollah not wanting to be outside of the ruling coalition.

Who conquered Israel in 722 B.C scattering the 10 tribes across their empire?
The Assyrians conquered the 10 northern tribes, and used their usual technique of exchanging aristocracies between different peoples, so that they were each ruled by an upper class which did not sympathise with the lower classes who they ruled on behalf of the Assyrians. The Israelite upper class was sent to areas in Assyria to rule them. However the 10 tribes remained in Israel, ruled by an imported upper class.

Why dont palestine and Israel get along?
The Israelis believes that they have the right to own their part and the Palestinians believes that they have the right to own that area.
It's not an option for the two of them to live together, side by side.
This conflict is not all about religion, but also about avidity.
There's also another little part to it: Israel's 'neighbors' can't accept the whole idea
of a Jewish country next door to them.
