Have any Palestinians in Israel ever sued to get their land back?
First, it is worth clarifying what you have asked. If by "Palestinian in Israel" you are referring to Israeli Arabs, i.e. Israeli citizens who are ethnically Palestinian, then the question is nonsensical. Israeli Arabs live, overwhelmingly on the land (or close to it) where their families lived for generations. The Israeli government has not taken it from them. If you are referring to Palestinians who are not Israeli citizens in the West Bank, for example, please continue.
Palestinian non-Israeli citizens have sued in Israeli courts, for example to have land returned to them, and to have the route of the security wall changed so as not to isolate them from their land, and have won their suits, from Israeli judges. These verdicts have actually been implemented. Israel's Supreme Court operates in a unique fashion as a civil court for both Israeli citizens (both Jews and Arabs) and for Palestinians in the West Bank without Israeli citizenship. It is worth noting, however, that most Palestinians who engage in these lawsuits actually have some of their land, just not all of it. Those who are wholly bereft of their land do not often engage in these suits (since their legal cases are harder to make).
Now, if you would, bring me a reverse case, where a Jewish non-citizen has filed suit for anything in an Arab country, and won or lost but kept his neck. I know for a fact that to sell land to a Jew in the West Bank is (according to Palestinian practice) a crime punishable by death for an Arab.
Schools in Palestine at the time of Jesus?
During Jesus' time the land was largely known in split terms, i.e: Judea (to the south) and Israel (to the north). There was no Palestine, in fact there has never been an independent country called Palestine. Palestine was a term made popular by the British during their occupation or mandate of the middle east regions in the early 1900's.
At the time of mandate (early 1900's) the land now known as Israel consisted of all the areas of the current region, including new areas now known as The Gaza Strip and The West Bank (these place names were not in existence), the land now known as Israel also consisted of the majority of the land now known as Jordan, Israel was roughly 3 or 4 times larger in geographical terms than it is now.
The then British Foreign minister, Winston Churchill, (later became Prime Minister) lopped off what is generally agreed to be about three quarters of the land of Israel, indeed all of the land to the east of the River Jordan was given to Hashemite monarchy in return for oil rights.
The Hashemite monarchy at the time had great authority over most of the land of Iraq.
So in yet another part of the world, we see today the results of the seed of division sewn by London's British authorities for the optimum interests of gaining rights to the middle east's oil resources, i.e: deals done to make money for London and their imperialist regime stretched throughout the world in the latter part of the 18th century and for most of the 19th and 20th centuries until the creations and inventions from Scotland, i.e: telephone, television et cetera helped other people of the world to get connected, get informed and to wake up to the division and robbery visited upon them by London's agents and that of other imperialist (or capitalist) regimes.
Thank God for the creativity of the people of Scotland, who's land mass makes up roughly half of the mainland of the British Isles but they are a people who have, in large, always retained their identity as Scottish not British, indeed they see themselves as different, they are recognised under international law as a nation in their own right and have at present their own parliament consisting of a government dedicated to removing them totally from the political union with England which makes up what is known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
The Scots are said to be of Israeli descent and are often referred to as one of the lost tribes of Israel, they have a coronation stone used in the ceremony of crowning their kings and queens known locally as the Stone of Destiny but it is widely believed to be Jacob's Pillow from the Bible stories carried with the Scoti tribe of Israelis en route to Scotland via Egypt, Spain and Ireland along with the Pharaoh of Egypt's daughter known as Princess Scota, where the Israeli Scots are said to have got their name from.
In relation to Jacob's Pillow (Stone of Destiny), those who support the true monarchy of the Scots that run from the ancient line of kings and queens of Scotland are known as Jacobites.
They stand in opposition to the current Germanic monarchy of the island brought in by their more numerous Germanic English neighbours to the south.
Wouldn't be the last time a Germanic people sought usurp those thought to have derived from the ancient peoples of Israel.
Answer 1
Because it is such an important piece of history and it will never stop being in the news until the war between them finally comes to an end.
Answer 2
The argument that most experts who trace the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to World War II makes is that the Holocaust (the genocide, predominantly of Jews, that occurred during World War II) convinced many nations of the necessity of a Jewish State. As a result the UN Partition Plan of 1947 and the eventual creation of the State of Israel are a direct result of World War II.
The reasoning, however, indicates a lack of subtlety and a tendency to exaggerate the role of the Holocaust in furthering Zionism. The institutions and settlements that would form Israel were already being established in the 1920s, long before World War II and fights between the Jews and the Arabs began in the later 1920s. World War II merely helped the Zionist Jews achieve the independence they were already beginning to gain for themselves.
Was Israel the aggressor in the conquest of the West Bank in 1967?
No. Jordan was the aggressor in 1967, in that theatre of the war. On June 5, 1967, Israel preemptively attacked Egypt and Prime Minister Eshkol sent a message to King Hussein of Jordan explicitly asking him to stay out of the conflict so that Israel could concentrate its attack on Egypt. On June 6, Jordanian radar picked up Israeli fighter jets over Egyptian airspace returning to Israel. Egyptian President Nasser wanted Jordanian involvement so that Israel would have to fight a war on two fronts and communicated to King Hussein that the jets were Egyptian on a victory invasion of Israel. As a result, on June 7th, Jordan began to shell West Jerusalem from the West Bank, resulting in an Israeli invasion of the West Bank later that day. So, while Israel was the aggressor with respect to the Gaza Strip occupation, Jordan was the aggressor with respect to the West Bank Occupation.

How did Yasser Arafat resolve the conflict in Palestine?
He did not successfully resolve the conflict and it has become even bloodier since his departure. However, he led the PLO all the way up to it being recognized as the Palestinian Authority, which forms the Palestinian side of all current negotiations for a peaceful resolution in Israel and Palestine.
Answer 1
yes for a long time.
Answer 2
No. Palestine was never an individually governed Arab territory. No Arab Empire from the Rashidun Caliphate to the Ayyubid Caliphate ever ruled from Jerusalem nor was Palestine administered as a central territory. It was a near-permanent backwater, especially during the Ottoman Period, when it was actually portioned off in three pieces that were smaller parts of governates headquarted outside of Palestine.
Prior to the Nakba in 1948-1949, there was not even a unique Palestinian identity as we know it today. The Palestinian Arabs called themselves Fellahin (which means settled peasant) and considered themselves to be ethnically 'Arab Bilaad ash-Shaam or Levantine Arabs or Greater Syrian Arabs.
The first ever Palestinian Arab state in the history of the world was declared in absentia in Tunisia in 1988 and was partially realized in 1993 with the Oslo Accords.

Northern Part Of Palestine where Jesus lived?
Arafat is a plain some miles off Makkah in Saudi Arabia. It remains uninhabited for most part of year but every year for a single day, on the Day of Hajj (Pilgrimage), it is visited by near two million people. It is here that the most important part of Hajj takes place and the pilgrims stay there from noon till dusk.
How has the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict impacted the War in Lebanon?
This question is difficult to answer because the term "War in Lebanon" is nebulous.
In the case of the Lebanese Civil War, one of the major factions fighting in that war was the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which had made Beirut, Lebanon its headquarters after being thrown out from Jordan. In an attempt to unite the various Lebanese factions to attack Israel instead of each other, the PLO attacked Israel. The plan backfired as the Israeli Army allied with Lebanese Christians to oppose the PLO. The major entry of Israel into the Lebanese Civil War brought the Syrians in to counterbalance them. At the end of the war, the PLO was evicted from Lebanon and Lebanon remained under partial Israeli and Syrian occupation which ended in 2000 and 2006 respectively.
In the case of Israel's War with Hezbollah, Hezbollah considers the liberation of southern Lebanon (which has occurred with the possible exception of the Shebaa Farms) and the "liberation" of Palestine to be its most important goals. Since it derives a large part of its motivation to the Palestinian cause, it is easy to see how the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict precipitated the War with Hezbollah by providing the background for both Israel and Hezbollah to exist and to be positioned against each other.
Where did Christianity spread to from Palestine?
The land of Israel was not called Palestine when Christ's disciples first spread the Gospel. Jesus had given instruction to the disciples after His Resurrection, just before His Ascension: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matthew 28:18-20.
He also instructed the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Spirit's power: "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." Acts1:4,5. After they would experience this, Christ told them: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." v.8.
The disciples were to effectually spread the Gospel throughout the whole world. While the early church did spread the truth of Christianity to areas known today as Israel, then Lebanon and Asia Minor (Turkey), Greece and Rome, other indications show that they went to Babylon, Ethiopia, possibly India and Spain. Yet the whole world was not reach in the 1st Century.
But Christ prayed his High Priestly prayer for others who would spread the Gospel, ultimately throughout the whole world: "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word..." John 17:20.
Paul made clear to Timothy the progression of spreading the truth of the Gospel: " Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." 2 Timothy 2:1,2. There are four generations of Gospel witness it that pattern.
In the 19th and 20th Centuries, a great movement from England and the United States sent missionaries to many regions in the world, taking to heart the instructions of Christ and the Scriptures, to spread the Gospel to all the world. This effort continues on today in the 21st Century.
