    1) Palestine conflict:

    Before the Arab world was united, there was nothing called Palestine.. The British +French military that occupied the Arab world as colonies. Back then, the “survival of the fitness” was normal and logical, the stronger countries constantly occupied the weaker countries, and were actually racing to occupy the most possible land, to turn it into colonies and use its ppl and natural resources. Back then JO+Pal +Syria+Leb were ONE; these lands have a long history together way before Islam beguin. It was one of the major trade centers in the world, so it was populated by Arabs and had rich culture and history. However,, after being occupied by the Turks, they were still weak, so the French and British occupied it . They only intended to uses it as colonies. However the difference here, is that Israel’s true intention is to stay forever and eventually occupy the whole region, and kick the remaining Palestinians to Jo, Syria and Egypt. That’s their plan, Palestinians in Gaza will be exiled to Egypt and the ones in the wst bank will be exiled to Jordan and maybe syria as well.

    Thank god we are in 2009, Israel and Israeli can no longer hide whats going on, and they will be fully exposed one day. Its ridiculous how ppl around the world can lack common sense to understand the reality of this situation or even to be suspicious to question those biased news they are exposed too. Ironically that’s what Israel wants.

    That’s how Israel is strong; ppl’s ignorance about the reality of this conflict and how and why it started really helps to cover their crimes. plus it got the support of the international community in all ways, no matter what ppl will always sympathies with them, because of the holocaust, like it was Palestinians fault, they were occupied at that time, why do they have to suffer, so Israeli can use that tragedy over and over again and live on the cost of Palestinians lives. They are doing what is worse now. At least they rest of the world stood with them at that time!!!!

    If ppl just wondered why groups like Hammas was formed, on the other hand WHEN the Zionist movement was formed, and since when they started planning to invade and occupy Palestine. Hammas and many others are revolutionary groups, they are the voice of their ppl, formed after years of oppression, simply they refuse to remain silent and wait for the rest of the world to even care, so they decided to take matters on their own hand. Most of them are young men; they were too once children and had to live through this. Like in any war in the world, where one population is under oppression, some group will eventually rebel, that’s what hammas is doing. What is happening in gaza happened over and over again throughout Palestinian lands, the only difference this time, is that more ppl heard about it this time. I wonder what will happen to all those children in gaza who watched their homes destroyed and their friends and families die, do you think they learned a lesson not to stand up against Isreal, its totally the opposite they will all grow up to join similar revolutionary groups such as Hammas.

    So in this case, it’s not the Palestinians that don’t want peace, we are talking about a population that was constantly invaded, lastly by the turks, then the British, and now the Zionist Jews. They are not even recognized as a country, although they are the ppl of the land. They want peace sooo bad; they want a break and for once to live their lives!! Why do you think Palestinians will rebel and form such revolutionary groups if there wasn't something wrong with the treatment of this population? What do you think they live such a boring life, so they decided to form such groups to waste some time!!!

    Do you know how many peace contracts was signed??, its all useless. Israel wont stop, their Zionist leaders will not stop till they occupy el-qods and eventually the rest of Palestine, its part of their beliefs, that they belong to that land, and they are the chosen ppl and they will only be safe within a Jewish state. This is totally ridicules since most of the “Israeli” ppl were not Jews, or descend from the Jews who used to live their centuries agoooo, they were ppl from around the world who moved their for materialistic reasons, they only had to become Jews, then they become Israeli. Thats a fact, check it out!! .. There are countless of documentaries showing Palestinians back in 1948, where settlements rose drastically there, the Israeli army will invade one place at a time, especially the gd neighborhoods, and they’ll just kick ppl out of their houses, and kill the ones who refuse to leave, then they’ll give the Palestinians houses to those families that arrives. There are many tragic mascaras, where ppl from whole neighborhoods were killed and eradicated; cold-heartedly Israeli soldiers used to enter one house after the other, kill the families, then they would get rid of the bodies and clean up the blood, to let Jewish families move in.

    I don’t belive in the right of Israel to own that land, simply because their ancestors lived there thousands years Agooooooooo.­ Simple question , who were there ancestors??.­..Ordinary people who happened to be Jews. If they want to go back in history, they were the same ppl who became Christians after Jesus came, and then some of them became Muslims later on. Simple fact it was lastly inhabited by Arabs (wetherer Christians or Muslims). The Arabs had a united land before being constantly invaded, sabotaged and divided ...(Give the ppl some break)…The land called now Palestine/ Jerusalem was lastly invaded by the Turks then by the ******. Before the ****** left, a very lovely man named Belfour made a promise to give Palestine to the Jews to start up their own country, they later signed a contract called “The Promise of Belfour”…Gee­z I have Big respect for that guy…he keeps his PROMISES of destroying millions of lives and simply hand it over to the soo called Israel as if its his own property.

    Look at whats happening in Gaza right now, and will keep happening if the world doesn't wake up. Israel wont stop, their Zionist leaders will not stop till they occupy el-qods and eventually the rest of Palestine, its part of their beliefs, that they belong to that land, and they are the chosen ppl and they will only be safe within a Jewish state. This is totally ridicules since most of the “Israeli” ppl were not Jews, or descend from the Jews who used to live their centuries agoooo, they were ppl from around the world who moved their for materialistic reasons, they only had to become Jews, then they become Israeli. Thats a fact, check it out!! .. There are countless of documentaries showing Palestinians back in 1948, where settlements rose drastically there, the Israeli army will invade one place at a time, especially the gd neighborhoods, and they’ll just kick ppl out of their houses, and kill the ones who refuse to leave, then they’ll give the Palestinians houses to those families that arrives.

    Fact: Judaism is a religion; you can’t start up a NEW country for every religion based on lame facts and excuses, and then simply step on the rest. Does this make SENSE to Anybody?? Speak up your conscience, not what your government thinks. Don’t Foolishly defend your goverments actions and repeat what you hear in your biased media, simply use a very wonderful Invention called “Internet” or watch some arabic news channels…it will pay off in time.

    People around the world deserve to know the truth, it wont be long before Isreal's crimes will be exposed...To the bottom line, decades have passed, Millions have died, and Peace never existed. So for the dignity that remains, they both should start acknowledgin­g the existence of the other and sort things out. The key word is RESPECT. I just happen to disagree with Isreal Bloody government and Zionism. How can you expect peace from a country that exited by force????

    I mean if some Jews want to live in Palestine sooo bad, they should have moved in a civilized way, like any ethnic group that moved into the Arab world and mingled with Arab populations, NOT by occupying Palestine and killing its people and eradicating the entire Palestinian population. There are dozens of ethnic groups within the Arab world, who are originally not Arabs, they are proud of their heritage, they maintained their original language and culture, but at the same time they consider themselves to be Arabs. Since generations have lived here, and most of them are mixed, soo there is no difference at all.

    ...So in the case of Palestine, I don’t think both governments will ever be able to co-exist. The Zionist will not stop till they achieve their goals, which is occupying all of Palestine and expelling the Palestinians to neighboring countries. On the other hand Palestinians want their freedom, not only the west bank but whole of Palestine, that’s their right, it’s their land. Many of them who currently live in the west bank or in Gaza are originally from the cities Israel occupied, and they will never have the right to go back. I swear the world have lost its conscience and sanity, since when rebelling against barbaric oppressors and defending you own country is considered bloody, they are fighting for their freedom. What do you expect they'll welcome the ppl who are trying to occupy their land, and serve them and be their slaves, and just accept it and stand by watching their ppl being killed !!!

    Source(s): I studied the history of palestine and this conflict Forgive me for my poor english.. .....I have more to say about zionism, gaza and the history of Arabs and jews (its actually a positve history). I dont know why the rest wasnt posted, I guess its too long, so if YOU or anyone is intrested, let me know, and I'll send it to you, okayz ;) Peace will NEVER exist without TRUTH and JUSTICE

    Israel gave up Gaza to Palestinians in 2005 with the promise that there would be peace - but Hamas took control of Palestine and began to fire rockets.

    In the beginning of 20th century.

    -Back then the jews were an extreme minority in the population of the Palestine,occupied by the British.

    -The jews started increasing in numbers, by mass immigration and buying/taking over lands, fully supported by the British occupation.

    -The jews gaining military power at this point started the armed conflicts with Palestinians who are the rightful citizens and owners of Palestine.

    -This armed conflict still takes place as the state of Israel is still brutally attacking those Palestinians.

    After the world war II ...

    Between the world war I and II, the UK promised Jews giving territories for them because the UK need lots of money from them. After the world war II, the Israeli country is founded, where Palestinians and Jews lived peacefully before, but chased away Palestinians and many Jews came from outside.

    After the USA supports Israel because Jewish money and votes are very important for US politicians. ( One of the US President said before that Jews had votes but not for Palestinian.)

    Several conflicts happened between Israel and neighbour counties and each time Israel won for their superior force power and the US strong support. the UN fixed once the frontier between Israel and Palestinian but Israel ignore them and expanded their territories each time. Every UNl decision against Israel are refused by the US, and the Israel continue massacre against the neighbours; the US always strongly supports this massacre.
