The Palestine and Israel history is one that goes back along way and tends to lean heavily on the biblical side. The web site that I visited http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/palestine/background.html, http://www.mfa.gov.il/mfa/go.asp?MFAH00kt0, and http://www.cactus48.com/truth.html had a fairly decent history account on the Palestine’s and I

In 1949, the war between Israel and the Arab states ended with the signing of armistice agreements. The country once known as Palestine was now divided into three parts, each under separate political control. The State of Israel encompassed over 77 percent of the territory. Jordan occupied East Jerusalem and the hill country of central Palestine (the West Bank). Egypt took control of the coastal plain around the city of Gaza (the Gaza Strip). The Palestinian Arab state envisioned by the UN partition plan was never established.

The first one that I shall address is, that Israel should comply with International law and to the UN resolutions related to the Arab-Israeli conflict which consider the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands stolen in 1967 as illegal, stipulating Israel must end its occupation in these lands. If Israel was to actually do this (which has about a 20% chance to happen) it would end the all the arguments and Israel would be able to save face if it was to make it look like the United Nations or America forced them into it. Now I know that this is not likely to happen but as I said it is but one way I think you could end the fighting between both countries. The reason that this is most likely not to happen is do to the fact that Israel is saying that “of the various agreements between Israel and the Palestinians that have been signed from 1993 onwards do not contain any prohibition against building or expanding settlements”. Although the Palestinians wanted to include such prohibitions, Israel objected and demanded that discussion on the subject be postponed until the final stage of the negotiations. The only restriction, set down in the interim agreement, was that neither side takes steps to change the status of the West Bank and Gaza Strip prior to the discussion on final status. Now that these discussions have begun, we must deal with this topic. Israel's position, as expressed by its leaders, is that most of the Jewish residents should remain http://www.israelemb.org .

srael’s! All the problems basically start with the birth of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, where Britain promised the Jews a Jewish "national home" in Palestine. This promise was subsequently incorporated in the mandate conferred on Britain by the League of Nations in 1922. During their mandate (1922-48) the British found their contradictory promises to the Jewish and Palestinian communities difficult to reconcile. The Zionists envisaged large-scale Jewish immigration, and some spoke of a Jewish state constituting all of Palestine. Palestinians, however, rejected Britain's right to promise their country to a third party and feared dispossession by the Zionists. Fear of Jewish domination was the principal cause of the Arab revolt that broke out in 1936 and continued intermittently until 1939. By that time Britain had again restricted Jewish immigration and purchases of land.

Now I am going to try and give both reasons as to why they both think that they disserve the land, this is also the main reason that fighting is still going on today. First I will be talking about the Palestinian view. The reason Palestinian’s fight for the land (besides the economic value) is over an illegal Jewish occupation of the Palestinian lands in two stages. The first stage was in 1948; they occupied 78% of the Arab-Palestinian lands and established their state, Israel. The second stage was in 1967. Israel launched an offensive war against the Arabs and occupied the rest of the Palestinian lands, which consisted of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip http://www.palestinehistory.com .

In here lies the problem that the Palestinian people believe that the
