Answer 1

Primarily, the Jews historically lived in the area known as Palestine around 2000 years ago. The majority were then exiled by the Romans. The people who remained in the territory in the interim period began to consider themselves Arabs by the mid-1200s. When the British occupied the area and called it Palestine, these Arabs began to call themselves Palestinians. During this period, however, many Jews sought to return to their ancestral homeland and declare it as their own historic country. This provoked conflict between the people returning to their homeland and those who had lived there for centuries.

Answer 2

the story is very long and complicated and quite frankly, the feud is pointless. in a biblical sense, some Muslim (and therefore many Arabs) believe that the Jews (/israelis) don't deserve the land of Israel because in the Torah, the Jews turned in don't in fear of the Canaanites (the people that lived in that land while the Jews were enslaved in Egypt) and therefore demonstrated a lack of trust in god/El/Allah. as a result the Jews were sent into exile in the desert for 40 years. (personally i believe that the Jews have repented enough over the years and deserve their right to israel, but hey that's me) another reason of more recent history is a little somethng that took place during and after World War II. it was called the British mandate and it was when Great Britain was ruling over "palestine." the British promised the Muslims the state of Palestine to be a Muslim country, and in exchange the Arabs would send support to the allied powers and then, of course the war ended and a decade or so later the british went against there promise and gave Palestine to be a sovern Jewish State, which was renamed Israel (much like Jacob from the Torah, hmm...). might i add it was very neccisary for the Jews to have a homeland which is another conversation entirely...

in short, the answer to your question, as demonstrated by these facts is... HATE. yep, that's it, thousands of years of hatred. both sides are right and have just cause and yet both sides are wrong and completely out of bounds, and unfortunately, the hate is there and there really is no going back now... sorry i could give you a more uplifting answer...

What is unceded Indian reserve mean?

It means that no north American government lays claim to the land. It belongs to the indigenous peoples that habitate it. ================ I wouldn't go so far as to say that no government 'lays claim' to the land. If the First Nation refers to the land as a 'reserve,' that in itself would be a recognition of a claim. There is a large part of eastern Manitoulin Island, in Lake Huron, that the people of the First Nation claim is 'unceded.' The Government of Ontario, however, provides social services and policing. No barrier prevents the First Nation people from leaving or returning, and people living there have Ontario licence plates and Ontario drivers' licences. To a considerable extent, therefore, the Ontario government certainly 'lays claim' to that land by providing such services to the First Nation people who live there. Without having such a claim, the Ontario Government would be unable to provide those services.
