Palestinian Territories

It is unclear what "all this hostility" refers to. Contrary to what many Arab and Muslim commentators may say, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict really only affects the Israelis and Palestinians and had marginal to reasonably important effects on the Arab countries directly bordering Israel or Palestine. However, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict does not cause the majority of problems or conflicts in the Middle East and is actually quite insignificant. (Such conflicts include the Turko-Cypriot War, the current Syrian Civil War, Saudi Repression of Women and Minorities, the Iran-Iraq War, the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, the Iraq War and the Insurgency, the Anfal Campaign and other Genocides in Iraq prior to Saddam Hussein's overthrow, the Iranian-Israeli Proxy Wars, the Cultural and Political Repression of the Kurds, South Sudanese, Darfurians, Amazigh, Pied Noirs, Jews and Christians, and numerous other conflicts).

As for the issues between Israelis and Palestinians currently, most of them have to do with the current Israeli and Palestinian governments not being interested in pursuing bilateral negotiations because of mutual distrust. Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, is angered by Hamas' bellicose nature along the Israeli border and does not believe that Mahmoud Abbas is truly interested in a negotiated solution since he went to the UN to acquire statehood without a formal peace agreement. Abbas, the Palestinian Authority Chairman, is bothered by increased Israeli settlement construction and a failure on the Israeli government's part to reward his positive management of the West Bank with increased autonomy and land-area.

Well, considering just how many languages are actually spoken in Israel, it depends. But, one way to greet someone, using Hebrew would be Shalom (shah-lome). Other languages spoken would be various forms of Arabic and, of course, English.

Arabs who live in Gaza and the West Bank currently use the Israeli Sheqel as their currency for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the Palestinian economy is not strong enough to build a mint, let alone properly regulate a currency. Also Israel does a lot of tax collection for Palestine and having the same currency reduces problems associated with that collection. There is also occasional use of other Arab currencies to a far lesser degree.

There was a time in the late 1920's when the Western powers created a "Palestinian" currency in line with the Balfour Declaration, but this, along with many other institutions, was scrapped by the local Arabs with no better alternative to replace it. Even to this day they continue to use the currency of their sworn enemy Israel.

Here is a little fact about West Bank : Area : 5 860 square KM.

No. Jerusalem is in Israel/Palestine, which is situated on the southwest end of Asia. The universally accepted border between Africa and Asia is the Suez Canal, which is 175 miles west of Jerusalem.

The dominant conflict in Palestine is between Israelis (who are predominantly Jewish) and Palestinians (who are predominantly Muslim), but the conflict is a political one, not a religious one.

It is unclear to me what the "that country" means in the question as written. I do not know if this refers to the future State of Palestine or if it refers to the Kingdom of Jordan. As a result, I have addressed it from both perspectives.

West Bank Under Jordanian Control
The West Bank was controlled by the Jordanian army in Judea (the southern lobe of the West Bank), and by the Iraqi army in Samaria (the northern lobe of the West Bank). Both armies had expelled all Jews who may have lived in the West Bank prior the ceasefire, making the territory exclusively Islamic and Christian. Initially, the armies of those countries imposed martial law on the regions that they conquered. After a few months, the Iraqis found that maintaining such a long-distance colonization was not worth it to them and they ceded their territory to Jordan. Jordan then annexed the whole West Bank on April 24, 1950 in a move that was condemned internationally (save for Great Britain, Iraq, and Pakistan which approved the act). All West Bank Palestinians became Jordanian citizens. However, Jordan made no overt acts to open up the refugee camps and fully integrate the Palestinian Jordanian refugees into Jordanian society, making the refugees reliant on UNRWA for assistance. Most Palestinian-Jordanians made their lives as farmers as Jordan did not invest significantly in modifying the infrastructure of the area. A significant number of Palestinian-Jordanians crossed from the West Bank to the East Bank during the Jordanian Occupation period in order to find work or better jobs. Finally, in violation of the terms of the Jordanian-Israeli armistice agreement, Jordan forbid both Israelis (including non-Jewish Israelis) and Jews (from outside of Israel) to visit any of the Jerusalem holy sites and proceeded to demolish numerous historic synagogues, abuse the Western Wall holy site, and to use gravestones from historic Jewish cemeteries to build latrines for Jordanian army barracks.

Kingdom of Jordan Proper
Since many Palestinian-Jordanians had crossed from the West Bank to the East Bank during Jordan's annexation of the West Bank, they formed a large population within Jordan even after the Six-Day War brought the West Bank under Israeli Occupation. This created a large immigrant population of Palestinian-Jordanians in Jordan and resulted in discrimination against them, especially in the labor markets. Angered by their historic mistreatment under the Jordanians and the Jordanian failure to hold onto the West Bank, Palestinian Militants rose up against the Jordanian Government in 1970. King Hussein's response was to violently crush the uprising. The two sides fought a war from September 1970 to July 1971 called "Black September" or the "Jordanian Civil War". Estimates of the Palestinian dead are between 300 and 20,000, but typical estimates are around the 15,000 mark, making this event in Jordan more deadly to Palestinians than the entire Israeli-Palestinian Conflict prior to 2005.

All of Israel is important to Christians, and that includes the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. According to the Bible God granted the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendents for all time; so the notion of people dividing up the land that was granted by God to the Hebrews is an abomination.

Zionists started a movement to establish a Jewish state in Palestine.

They pooped everywhere.

The Zionist Jews were the group who benefited the most from the Partition of Palestine in 1947 as they received a share of the land far in excess of what they had purchased up to that point. However, the Palestinian leadership also received an indirect benefit, independence from Britain and rival Arab countries, which they refused to capitalize on.

There is tension in Palestine today because of the conflict of the Jews and the Arabs. After WW II, the Jews wanted a refuge for themselves, and they wanted it in Palestine. But, both the Arabs and the Jews found Jerusalem a Holy City, and the Arabs didn't want Jews in their "claimed" city. Today, Palestine is split, one part for the Arabs, and another for the Jews. I found this website helpful. http://www.myjewishlearning.com/israel/History/1948-1967/Birth_of_Israel.shtml

All of those places border Israel.

Most Christians believe: yes he did, just as recorded in the gospels. Some, such as the Jesus Seminar, say that not all the events described in the gospels really happened, but Jesus may have performed some miracles in Palestine. Finally, others point out that there are credible reasons for rejecting the historicity of each miracle in the New Testament. On this last view, Jesus did not perform any miracles.

Palestine was inhabited partly by Aramaic-speaking Jews, partly by Samarians (or Samaritans) and partly by Greek-speaking pagans, whom the Jews called gentiles ('foreigners') or Greeks. The fact that the pagans spoke Greek does not necessarily imply that they were of Greek origin, although some may have been, but that Greek became the common language of the Greek Empire after the Alexandrian conquests, apart from the Jews who persisted in speaking Aramaic.

The Palestine area of the first century CE can be divided into four regions, under the domination of the Roman Empire: Judea in the south, Samaria in the centre, Galilee in the north-west and the Decapolis in the northern inland, crossing into what is now Jordan.

The people of Jerusalem and inland Judea were mainly Jews, although a first-century Asclepium has been discovered just outside the walls of Jerusalem - this is the five-sided pool mentioned in John's Gospel. The coastal cities of Judea, especially Caesaria, were pagan, but many coastal villages were probably Jewish. Judea included the territory of Idumea, to the south of Jerusalem. The Idumeans were Jews, but descended from pagans who had been forcibly converted to Judaism during the Maccabean period. Since they were not regarded as "real Jews" they were looked down on by the Jews of Jerusalem. the first-century BCE king, Herod the Great, had been an Idumean and therefore at least nominally a Jew. The Sinai desert, farther south, had long been the home of Nabataean Arabs.

Samaria included the land that was once the Kingdom of Israel. The Samarians were a people who shared a mutual hatred with the Jews. They followed an archaic form of Judaism. The mutual dislike is demonstrated by the Christian parable of the Good Samaritan.

The larger cities of Galilee appear to have been mainly pagan, although there is some dispute on this. The smaller towns and villages were mainly Jewish. Prior to 70 CE, the Jews of Galilee were mostly descended from pagans who were forcibly converted to Judaism during the Maccabean period, some two hundred years earlier. Around the beginning of the century, several Galilean Jews seem to have instigated rebellion and dissent against Roman rule. After 70 CE, there was a major influx of Jews from Jerusalem.

The Decapolis population was almost exclusively pagan.

The question is quite ambiguous ... any way you look at it, the phrase "palestine countries"

seems to contradict itself.

On land set aside by a majority vote in the UN General Assembly, the residents of

that land declared it a sovereign nation in May, 1948, and named it Israel. It was

immediately attacked by the combined military forces of several of its neighbors,

lost a significant portion of the original area, but survived the attack. It was soon

admitted as a member of the United Nations, and now is recognized by, and has

mutual diplomatic relations with, all but about 30 other countries in the world.

The UN General Assembly also set aside adjacent land for administration by the

primarily Arab residents of that area. That portion was not declared a distinct

nation, and was absorbed into the Kingdom of Jordan.

Today, Israel is bordered by Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. The Gaza Strip,

considered to be part of "Palestine", is part of Egypt ruled by Hamas. The West Bank

of the Jordan, considered to be part of "Palestine", is legally a part of the Kingdom of

Jordan, and is currently administered by Israel out of security considerations. The Golan

Heights, considered by some to be part of "Palestine", is legally a part of Syria, and is

currently administered by Israel out of security considerations.

Palestine was very much different them, very much peaceful, politics there was controlled by the mighty Romans.The Romans were harsh with taxes and their slaves . Not so hot anas today with global warning.
