1948, when jews were spread around like gypsies thus Palestinians out of their good hearts let them into their lands and jews as the token of their appreciation kept stealing& stealing&....... their lands while massacring the Palestinians and their loved one.
The event that still taking place at this very moment.
I think it's called ''greed'' & ''blood thirst''!!
Refer to their mythology, why share when they could have the whole land for themselves.
And surely, series of mambo jumbo as God promise this & that.........chosen one and............crap like that should be fed upon the whole world in order to achieve their objectives, smoothly as possible!LOL.
BUT, that very same world is awaken now and getting to know the real entity of the zion and jews. |

Israel has always belonged to the jews and will always belong to them, for over 3000 years. In reality, the Jewish people have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3,700 years.
Nothing has changed, these are facts.The Jewish people base their claim to the Land of Israel on at least four premises: 1) the Jewish people settled and developed the land; 2) the international community granted political sovereignty in Palestine to the Jewish people; 3) the territory was captured in defensive wars and 4) God promised the land to the patriarch Abraham.Israel's international "birth certificate" was validated by the promise of the Bible; uninterrupted Jewish settlement from the time of Joshua onward; the Balfour Declaration of 1917; the League of Nations Mandate, which incorporated the Balfour Declaration; the United Nations partition resolution of 1947; Israel's admission to the UN in 1949; the recognition of Israel by most other states; and, most of all, the society created by Israel's people in decades of thriving, dynamic national existence
The land (Israel never belonged to the Palestinians) they have no right to the land what soever.Palestinian Arab nationalism is largely a post-World War I phenomenon that did not become a significant political movement until after the 1967 Six-Day War and Israel's capture of the West Bank.The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said "Palestine was part of the Province of Syria" and that, "politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity." A few years later, Ahmed Shuqeiri, later the chairman of the PLO, told the Security Council: "It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria. |

1.) The first time was more than 5,000 years ago. The most recent reinstatement of the Nation of Israel was in 1948. But it had been in the planning for many years prior to that.
2.) The British Mandate paved the way but acknowledgment of the agreement and the nation was voted on and approved by the United Nations. The primary reason was so that the Jews could have a homeland where they would be self-governing so everyone who wanted them out of their countries could send them there.
3.) No, Israel was originally promised the majority of the original Palestinian Territory, which included all of what is Israel today, all of Jordan, the Gaza Strip, Samaria (the West Bank) and small parts of Lebanon and Syria. The Arabs didn't like that so they demanded the right to carve out small additional parcels for Lebanon and Syria and a large chunk for Jordan, which in actuality is the Palestinian State. That is where the majority of the Arab Palestinians settled and where all the so-called "Palestinian refugees" from Samaria fled to avoid the 1967 Six Day War. The one's in Gaza fled to Egypt. But none of them referred to themselves as "Palestinians" until the war was over and Israel refused to allow them to return. By all rights, Israel should have been allowed to keep ALL the land that was won in that war. It is the ONLY nation that has ever had world powers demand it return land that it won in a war it didn't start. But even still, what Israel has today is actually much less land than they were originally promised and the Arabs just keep demanding more. They were twice offered 97% of the all the land won in the 6 Day War if they would recognize Israel's right to exist free of terrorism and they refused because they want it all.
4.) They aren't fighting for what is theirs, they are fighting to destroy Israel. If you doubt this then I suggest you read the Hamas Charter.
http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm
5.) The Arabs and Iran without a doubt. They have fomented, supported and supplied this war (now a proxy war) against Israel for more than 100 years with the hopes of taking full control of the Holy Land where they believe they will rule the world from one day. |

1. It depends. Some would say the Land of Israel goes back to Ancient times.
2. After WWI, Great Britain created the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of giving the Jewish people a homeland. In 1947, it was okayed to create two states with what was Palestine. In 1948, Israel declared its independence.
3. Well, again, some would argue it was the Jews' land (going back to Ancient times). Otherwise, in more modern history, it was a part of Palestine...
4. After the six-day war, Israel "captured" land, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. However, Israel withdrew later. Some argue there are Israeli "settlements" in Gaza, or that it is basically occupied.
5. This is a very complicated question. In a way, yes. However, the Jewish people were displaced due to antisemitism and had a right to exist SOMEWHERE.
6. There is plenty of blame to go around. The UN for deciding this was the best answer to Jewish refugees after WWII (could have made a country for them within Germany, which was suggested at the time--it was already splintered after the war anyway). It seems a little bit like Israel is kind of a bully, in this situation. "You slap my cheek, I shoot yours" kind of mentality. Yes, they're backed by America. Yes, they have more weaponry. Be the bigger person. Negotiate. |

Why blame? What good is blame going to get anyone.
Anyhow. The answer to your QUESTION is 1948.
1. Well, 'the land' is a pretty broad term. Much was owned by Arab absentee landlords and relied on serfs to work the land.
2. A UN resolution.
3. Whomever owned it. Typically the aforementioned wealthy
absentee landlords.
4. Israel has grown AND shrunk. It grew MOST after land captured in defensive battles in 48 and 67. Now 90+% of that has been given back. Sinai was a big one.
5. And why is complain and fight the same to you? interesting. The answer is who paid for the land and can show ownership should fight to keep it.
6. What? Again, you make wild hypothetical leaps. I think you should stick to languages. |

You have to go back to World War I (The Great War) and realize the Ottoman Empire(Turkey) backed the wrong side, they backed the Germans, and upon losing World War I, they conceded Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and several other countries under their control, this allowed Europe to reign in these "Arab/Persian/Jewish" countries(I included Jewish because they have always resided in that region, since before Muslim control), Palestine has never been exclusively non-Jewish. Shortly after World War 2, there was nowhere to put exiled Jews in Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Russia, Georgia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Poland, Netherlands, Finland, Luxembourg, etc. No country wanted them, and they did not wish to stay where they were almost exterminated, and in places where they would not be treated as equal citizens, hence the dilemma, where do we put all of the misplaced Jews from the Holocaust/Countries where they were resented and hated. Britain controlled Palestine since World War I, and did not want them there, but overwhelmingly they wanted to go there instaed of risking another post Holocaust staying where they were. So Jewish/Yiddish peoples started a mass Exodus to Palestine, and there was already a faction there to welcome them, and it was those involved in World War II that built the infastructure to eject Britain from occupying what they insisted was their ancestrial homeland. At this time there was a smaller amount of Palestinians than there are today, about roughly 10% of the current population, the same was true of Israel too, they were importing them rapidly from all around the world, against British/Arab resistance, and outnumbered them in a span of months. The British pulled out, the United States acknowledged them as a nation, and did not support the 7 day war, with the exception of American Jews conscripted from our military by their own free will. Arab claims to being there before Israel are not substanciated, as the only residents before Israel were almost completely erraticated, upon seizure of Israel, in the reign of Joshua, Saul, David and Solomon. It was under the two Muslim invasions of the region(Mohammed, Ottoman) that Arabs started occupying what they called Palestine, they occupied it for give or take 1000 years, but it was never exclusively Muslim, there was always a Jewish remnant, and they did not call it their own it was still a fiefdom/controlled territory in their empire, they simply taxed the inhabitants(Jews) to a few sheiks in the region(just like the Romans). Israel grew to it's fromer glory shortly after they became a state, when all of the surrounding Arab countries attacked them with 10 to 1 larger forces and lost to Israel, then Israel captured their former borders from Biblical times. The Palestinians have no right to complain anytime after Turkey/Great Britain pulled out and they fought Israel from the inside while Israel was fighting the outside invading forces, that was their time to rise up and fight, and they failed to capitalize on Israel's fragile state, when the oppurtunity was there. As always, the Muslim empire would be to blame for attacking non-Muslims(Infidels), like the preceding 2 invasions the world has seen on behalf of Allah. |

The Jewish connection with Israel did not begin with Zionism, a word coined in the 1890s. It goes back 4,000 years to the first recorded syllables of Jewish time, God's command to Abraham: "Leave your land, your birthplace and your fathers house and go to the land that I will show you" (Ex. 12: 1). Seven times God promised Abraham the land, and repeated that promise to Isaac and Jacob. If any nation on earth has a right to any land -- a right based on history, attachment, long association -- then the Jewish people has a right to Israel.
Judaism -- twice as old as Christianity, thee times as old as Islam -- was the call to Abraham's descendants to create a society of freedom, justice and compassion under the sovereignty of God. A society involves a land, a home, somewhere where the 'children of Israel' form the majority, and can thus create a culture, an economy and a political system in accordance with their values. That land was and is Israel.
Jews never left Israel voluntarily. They never relinquished their rights. They returned whenever they could: in the days of Moses, then again after the Babylonian exile, then again in generation after generation. Judah Halevi went there in the 12th century. So did Maimonides and his family, though they found it impossible to stay. Nachmanides went after being exiled from Spain. There was a large community there in the sixteenth century. There are places, especially in Galilee, where they never left at all.
Those with a sense of history long ago recognized the injustice of denying Jews their ancestral home. In 1799, Napoleon at the start of his Middle East campaign called on Jews to return (the campaign failed before there was a chance to act on this proposal). So did many British thinkers in the nineteenth century, among them Lord Palmerston, Lord Shaftsbury, and the writer George Eliot in her novel, Daniel Deronda.
The Balfour Declaration in 1917, ratified in 1922 by the League of Nations, was an attempt to rectify the single most sustained crime against humanity: the denial of Jewry's right to its land and its subsequent unparalleled history of suffering. Winston Churchill never wavered from this view. There were Arab leaders who understood this too. In 1919, King Faisal wrote to the American-Jewish judge Felix Frankfurter: "We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement... The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement [Arab nationalism] is national and not imperialist... Indeed I think that neither can be a real success without the other."
The idea that Jews came to Israel as outsiders or imperialists is among the most perverse of modern myths. They were the land's original inhabitants: they have the same relationship to the land as native Americans to America, aborigines to Australia, and Maoris to New Zealand. They were ousted by imperialists. They are the only rulers of the land in the past three thousand years who neither sought nor created an empire.
In fact, no other people, no other power, has ever created an independent state there. When it was not a Jewish state, Israel was merely an administrative unit of empires: the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Umayyads, Fatimids, Abbasids, Crusaders, Mamluks and Ottomans. The existence of Israel, in ancient times and today, is a sustained protest against empires and imperialism: against Mesopotamia of Abraham's day and the Egyptians of the exodus.
Do we really need a Jewish state? Yes. There must be some place on earth where Jews can defend themselves, where they have a home in the sense given by the poet Robert Frost as "the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." Every nation has the right to rule itself and create a society and culture in accordance with its own values. That right, to national self-determination, is among the most basic in politics. Today there are 82 Christian nations and 56 Muslim ones, but only one Jewish one: in a country smaller than the Kruger National Park, one quarter of one per cent of the land mass of the Arab world.
Long ago Jews recognized the right of the Arab population of the land to a place of their own. There were various plans for the partition of the land into two states, one Jewish, one Arab, in the 1920s and 1930s. Jews accepted them; the Arabs rejected them. In 1947, the United Nations voted for partition. Again, Jews accepted, the Arabs refused. David Ben Gurion reiterated the call for peace as a central part of Israel's Declaration of Independence in May 1948. Israel's neighbors -- Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq -- responded by attacking it on all fronts.
The offer was renewed in 1967 after the Six Day War. The response of the Arab League, meeting in Khartoum in September 1967, was the famous "Three Nos": no to peace, no to negotiations, no to the recognition of the State of Israel. The call was repeated many times by Golda Meir, and al |
