What year did the PLO recognize Israel's right to exist?
In 1993 the PLO recognized Israel's right to exist in peace, at the culmination of the Oslo Accords. In return, Israel immediately recognized the PLO as the official representative of the Palestinian People and the basis for a Palestinian State.
When did Jews occupy Palestine?
they never did, many thousands of years ago, Jews were held in Egypt by Pharaoh as slaves, at that time, no one occupied Israel. So after the Jews escaped they went to the land of Israel. A while after Arabs came to the middle east and killed all the Jews in Israel deleting the Jews history, the Jews fought and came back to Israel and it was taken away again and this continued, in 1890 the Jews were also kicked out which also deleted the history of them. In the 19's the UN later gave Israel to the Jews and Israel become a state in 1948.
So that means the Jews had Israel first and the Arabs don't have the right to try and take Israel away from them.
Hints on answer above:The answer above is full with history falsifications in each of its statements. no single statement is correct:- The Jews were never held by the Pharaoh as slaves. They came to Egypt as refugees when the prophet Joseph (Yusuf), son of Jacob, was minister of finance in Egypt. They were enjoying their stay in Egypt to the extent that when they escaped Egypt they had enough gold to make the cow of gold that they worshiped in absence of Moses.
- The land of Palestine is called as such historically even in Greek history books and was never called Israel as claimed above. Israel is a second name of prophet Jacob.
- Palestine land was never empty from people especially that most of their lands are fertile and good for agriculture besides their good harbors. Could you believe that a land is empty while on the boarders of the Ancient Egyptian civilization lands.
- Arabs didn't come to the middle East. They are already an original part of the middle East even before the time of Prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim in Arabic).
- when Arabs (or Muslims) took control of Palestine, Jews were very little minority while the majority were Christians. No single Jew was killed by Muslims when they got control of the lands. Simply because they didn't fight. Christians agree to give the church key to the Caliph Omar on condition they guarantee the freedom of worship and it was.
- How the Arabs deleted the history of the Jews in Palestine. If this is correct could you explain why didn't also delete the history of the Christians?. if true, then how they deleted it? and if really deleted then how do you know there was something and was deleted?
- Did you hear about Muslims killing any civilian in any country the took control of. Read the history about Muslims in Spain.
- check the history to see how Sultan Abdel Hamid of the Ottoman empire gave refugee to the Jews expelled from Spain when Christians got control of it. This explains why relatively there many Jews in Morocco. How claimed that they were killed again?
- in 1948, the UN didn't give Palestine to the Jews. UN agreed to partition Palestine between the Palestinian original people and the Jews who mainly immigrated from Europe to Palestine.
- Check the history of Palestine and the records of the Jewish immigration waves that came from all over the world to know who are the original people.
- Despite the above, the call is for all people living now in these lands to live together in love and peace under one country and one flag with equal rights to all its inhabitants irrelevant to their religion, culture, or language. Otherwise, no other solution except the partition into two independent states.
What happened to the Palestinians in 1948?
They became refugees because they fled the former Mandate of Palestine either by their own choice or by forced exodus (this is still hotly debated). However, what is clear is that 720,000 Palestinian Arabs were displaced from their homes on account of the conflict and found themselves outside the borders of the State of Israel. Israel refused to allow them to return to their homes post-war.
Answer 1
In the olden days of 1364, Palestine was a large nation of Jordan, Syria and Israel. Then Israel ran away which made the Palestinians unhappy. 500 years later the Israelis were treated very badly and needed a place to stay, so the Palestinians let them stay with them. Little did they know, Israelis would flood into their land and have the UN on their side, which allowed them to become a free nation in 1948. So basically the Palestinians were unhappy because they had to share their land.
Answer 2
Palestinian Arabs ... particularly those who don't live in Israel ... are unhappy with Israel largely because the entire concept of a Jewish country in that otherwise totally Muslim region is unacceptable to them. Had there been any whose resolve on the matter might have wavered during the past 60 or 70 years, government policy, government propaganda, and the educational system have united to firm it up.
Answer 3
The Palestinians were initially unhappy with the State of Israel because they believed that the land that had physically belonged to their parents and grandparents should have been there's for inheritance. In their minds, it did not make sense that a group of German, Polish, French, English, and Russian speaking people should claim land that their ancestors had not even visited for centuries. Even by the time of Israel's Declaration of Statehood, less than half of the land within the UN proscribed borders of Resolution 181 was owned by Jews. Therefore, the idea of Jewish State being even more physically expansive than the land already taken was alarming.
During the Jewish-Arab engagement (the term is nebulous because it was a conflict fought by militias as opposed to proper armies) of 1947-1949, both Arab and Jewish soldiers committed acts against civilians and tried to assist in the removal of the "undesirable party". This resulted in numerous Palestinian towns being attacked, rapes occurring, and murders on numerous occasions. Fear of further attacks and incitement by Arab Mullahs drove many Palestinians away from their homes. After the conflict, Israel, in order to maintain its Jewish character, has not permitted any Palestinian refugee to reclaim land inside of Israel. Palestinians are very angry both at the Jewish malfeasance during the Jewish-Arab engagement and the continuing lack of their Right to Return or (although less desirable to most Palestinians) compensation for their lost property.
Those Palestinians who did not flee were naturalized as Israeli citizens, but they shoulder a lot of hurt over the Israeli actions in the Jewish-Arab Engagement. In addition, they feel (similar to the Blacks in the United States) that even though they have equality on paper and politicians who represent their interests, there is a clear prejudice against them in the job market, housing market, and as concerns education. A famous example was how on Jerusalem's 40th reunification anniversary, there were massive rainstorms and badly constructed Arab sewers of East Jerusalem which had not been modified since Jordan controlled the region flooded up and out of many people's toilets. The same did not happen in the Jewish neighborhoods which did have more modern construction. This angers a number of Israeli Arabs who self-identify as Palestinians.
Finally, Palestinians are angry with Israeli treatment of the Palestinian Territories, namely the blockade/starvation of Gaza and the direct military occupation of the West Bank. These military activities prevent Palestinian self-realization and governance. Furthermore, the military occupation of the West Bank is accompanied by a proliferation of settlements (economically incentivized by the Israeli government) and illegal settlements (by lack of Israeli governmental opposition to such moves). This is seen by many Palestinians as a Jewish land-grab and a denial of their Right to a State as well.
Note: This is not to say that even if all of these grievances were atoned for in some way or another that Palestinians would suddenly accept Israel as there are numerous Palestinians and Arabs who have vowed to never accept Israel as a valid state for many different reasons. However, the above are the most prevalent and common grievances cited by Palestinians concerning Israeli treatment.
Why did Britain give Palestine to the Jews?
Politically, the British wanted Jewish Militias in Palestine as well as wealthy pro-Zionist patrons to join the British War Effort and therefore promoted the Balfour Declaration as a way of getting that aid.
What is the long-disputed area between the Arabs and Israelis?
Next time you're at the library, go to the reference section, and have a look at a
large globe or world atlas. At the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll
see a sliver of a territory that comes to a point at the bottom, labeled "Israel".
That's what was left of the piece of the British Mandate in Palestine that was
designated for Jewish administration by the UN partition resolution of 1947,
declared a sovereign nation in 1948, and attacked and partially conquered
immediately after the declaration by the armies of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and
Jordan.
Now, if you can get ahold of some elementary school textbooks from around the
Palestinian and Arab part of the world, you'll find several that do not depict Israel
at all in that place. As far as what those children are taught, no such nation exists,
and Jews are monkeys and pigs.
The land in dispute between Israel and Arab nations is Israel itself. And what adds
fuel to the dispute and makes it even more rancorous and emotional is Israel's
shameless and unapologetic public display of its intention to continue to exist,
defend its citizens, determine its own fate, and participate in the political, economic,
and social matters of the world as an equal partner among nations.
What 3 land areas make up Palestine?
The three major divisions of the British Mandate of Palestine are (in order order of size): Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. The three major divisions of the territory claimed by the Palestinian Authority are (in order of size): Samaria, Judea, and Gaza.
What countries supported Palestine?
Since this question is emotional, there are a few different answers.
Answer 1: Everybody
Sadly, every country in the world except Canada and Israel supports Palestine.
The Palestinian people are wrong. They have no proven claims to the land while the Jews have thousands. Jews have been living there for thousands of years and the Arabs,who later the called themselves the Palestinians, came to the land only a century ago for work.
Answer 2: Muslims
Iran is the ally of Palestine and wants to save Arabs from the genocide that is being done by Israel.
Allies are all the Muslim countries which is over 50.
The land always belonged to Palestine but the Jewish people complained that they don't have a home country, so the United Nation let them choose Palestine and they claimed as theirs and instead of sharing land with Palestine's people they want to wipe them off. Jewish people live in so many places but they get kicked out google it and you'll see how many times they were exiled because of their life style.
Answer 3: No Nation
Regardless of whether the Palestinian claim to the former British Mandate of Palestine is proper, the true face of every nation comes to bare as concerns how they propose to deal with the problem. No nation has ever provided (or intends to provide) mass asylum for the numerous Palestinian refugees and their children. With the exception of Jordan to a certain degree, Palestinians are systematically denied the right to integrate in the countries where their camps. In the meantime, their rulers see fit to spend large sums of money to support militaristic parties and radical agendas. The people who actually wish for the best interests of the Palestinians should be those who assist them by including them and actively negotiating with Israel for a lasting peace.
When was Palestine Liberation Organization created?
The PLO was created in 1964. This is important, because most Palestinian apologists claim that Palestinian terror is a reaction to the 6 day war that took place in 1967. In fact, the tactic of terror became the weapon of choice for Palestinians and other Arabs after losing battles to Israel in 1948, 1956 and failing to find any other way to effectively injure Israel. The Palestinian terror model affects air travelers to this day. It was Palestinian terror hijacking that led to metal detectors in airports decades ago.
Major disagreement between Palestinians and Israel?
The major disagreements between the "Palestinians" and the state of Israel
narrow down to two brazen aspects of Israel's behavior in rejection of almost
universal world opinion:
-- The obstinate insistence of Israel on its right to exist as a Jewish state in the
Middle East, and on its unapologetic intention to continue doing so.
-- The stubborn refusal of Israel and its people to die in armed conflict, to accept
rocketing of their residential areas with a wink and a smile, and in general to
relinquish their uppity attitudes and just go away.
Why does Israel kill Palestinians?
Israel does not murder Palestinians. However, while protecting its citizens and defending its borders, many Palestinians both armed and unarmed have died. I often wonder what the reaction of the US might be if 60,000 unguided rockets had been lobbed from Tijuana into San Diego over the past 5 years. And how long the US would show 'restraint'. And whether the US would worry a lot about 'proportionate' response. Just musing.
Why was the state of isreael created in palestine in 1948?
Israel's own leaders and citizens did.
The State of Israel came together as the result of Jewish immigration to the British Mandate of Palestine, Zionist leadership, Jewish militias and political and financial support from the West (primarily Jewish philanthropists). The first group are called the Halutzim or the Pioneers and they took it upon themselves to modernize Israel by cultivating the land and using European technology to improve its output and productivity. The Zionist leadership included some like Theodor Herzl, who envisioned the state, to Eliezer ben Yehuda, who developed Modern Hebrew as a functional language, to David Ben Gurion who declared Israel's independence and sovereignty, among many others. There were numerous Jewish militias defending the Halutzim and attacking the British (and eventually the Arabs when conflict started) such as the Palmach, the Haganah, and the Irgun. Finally, without the monetary contributions from families like the Rothschilds, there would have been no way for the nascent pre-governmental and governmental organizations to acquire enough capital to maintain an internal infrastructure.
Where is the location of Islam church?
The adherent to Islam is a Muslim. Their place of worship is called a Masjid/Mosque. Allah says in the Holy Quran that he made the entire earth a Masjid. This means that we can pray anywhere we find ourselves. This is very convenient as Muslims have five mandatory times of day to pray. Around the world you will find thousands of structures dedicated to being a Masjid or Mosque. Some are grand and very old like the Mosque in Mecca (the first mosque ever built) and some are very simple and simply function as a clean place to pray like the ones in airports or shopping centers. Of the holiest Masjids are:
- Al-Masjid Al-Haram that is surrounding the Kaaba; Mecca (Makkah) in Saudi Arabia
- Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi, Medina, Saudi Arabia
- Masjid Al-Qods and Masjid Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem; Palestine Territories
Does Palestine belong to the Arabs or the Jews?
Palestine. At this point in history, there are only two parties that claim the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Since Hamas is not recognized as an independent government by any country, it retains exclusively de facto control of the area. Meanwhile the Palestinian Authority retains de jurecontrol pursuant to the Oslo Accords of 1993 which transferred the land from Israeli occupation to the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority.
Almost all Israelis agree that the Gaza Strip does not belong to Israel.

What kind of crops grows in Palestine?
Israel has a great many variety of crops, so much so that it became a great place for testing new varieties of seed for seed companies.
We grow dates and citrus, avocados and hohova, flowers and dragon fruit, grapes apples and peaches, kiwis cherries and sabra, cotton potatoes and peppers, tomatoes watermelons and cucumbers and many more.
Why do Israel and Palestine fight over the Gaza Strip?
The Gaza Strip is currently ruled by Hamas which is dead-set on opposing the Israeli Right to Exist. It has constantly bombarded Israeli cities close to it and recently expanded its firing range to the Israeli financial capital of Tel Aviv. The Israelis have surrounded Gaza with a blockade and armed border to prevent the influx of the very missiles used to perpetrate these attacks. This has caused a humanitarian problem in Gaza, resulting in increased fury to attack the Israelis. This vicious cycle self-perpetuates.
What is the effect of NRO in Pakistan?
NRO is a barbarian kind of approach with the poor people of Pakistan and facilitate the criminals, thieves, shamless, religiousless & ????? people in Pakistan only. The poor people of Pakistan will never gorgive all those who created and have taken benefit from this black source.
Note: Please Give My Message to the People of Pakistan that:
Those who are facilitated from NRO are not honest with OUR PAKISTAN, so we want to hang all the criminals till to death, also we want to bring revolution to justify the worst situation in our holly country.
What are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting for?
They're not fighting over religion. Religion has nothing to do with it. They're basically fighting over land. The Jews literally came into Palestine and "threw out" the Palestinians because they needed a place to live. So now Palestinians are trying to fight back because they want their land back. The Jews had no right to take their land away from them.
How long is the flight to Palestine from Sydney Australia?
Departure point: John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York
Destination point: Sydney, Australia
Estimated flight duration: 19 hours, 28 minutes
What is the issue between Jews and Palestinians?
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.
As for the general issues, please see the Related Questions below.
