Yes, but in the beginning the Palestinians only lost 2% of their land, but the Palestinians were not happy, and attacked first. On the first day Israel became a country, the Palestinians attacked. The area of Palestine has been on the Offensive, not the defensive.

Yes, but the Jews have 5 Main religious areas within Israel, and that is what makes it special to them. The Muslims only have 1 area, Jerusalem, which the Israels are sharing with the Palestinians. There is no reason the Palestinians need the land for religious purposes.

There is 5 countries around Israel where the Palestinians could go, actually, the UN took 2% of their used land, and they were still aloud to stay there. Also, when in history were Palestinians there? I would like to know.

Also Corey, just to add on. Only 2% of the Palestinian land was lost, so does it really matter.

But Levi, the Palestinians were not using it. It was open land with no settlements, and they 'owned' it. If there was no use for it, why care?

Also, the only reason there was war was because of the Palestinians. They attacked first, when the Israelis were ok with their 55%, and the Palestinians were enraged of losing 2% of used land.

Actually, they only lost 2% of their land. They were only using 47%, and they were given 45%. The only reason Israel expanded was because the Palestinians attacked first, and caused thousands more Jews to die. They could have been peaceful.

When were they on the land? The only recorded history of someone being on the land is the Jews, according the the holy book. The Palestinians are just saying they were there, but how can we know for sure?

The Jews know exactly how it felt. Did the Palestinians get destroyed by the millions? No. Also, in the beginning, Palestine only lost 2% of the land it was using [47%-45%], And they were outraged by this small amount of change, so they attacked first. That caused thousands of Israelis to die, so the Palestinians dug themselves into this pit.

The Israelis scattered, as they were 100 years ago. They had to survive, and fleed for survival, and now, they are able to return because of the UN supporting it. Think about it, if the Israelis are shunned in most countries, how are they supposed to get jobs and pay for ways to return?

The Palestinians have 11 main religious sites, with 1 being in Israel, which is Jerusalem.

The left as any group did, to find a new home when it got tough. Why did the first settlers of the United states leave England? Also, when the Jews left, the Palestinians were no where to be found. When in history was the Palestinians there? Also, the Palestinians attacked first, causing war because of their behavior.

Actually, you are quite wrong with this argument. It was the Palestinians who attacked first, even though they lost 2% of the land they were using. The Israelis were sad with the amount they got, but ok. The Palestinians were enraged and launched an attack.

Yes, this is true in meaning they lost land. But the Palestinians were only using 47% of the land, and they dropped to 45%, which is nothing in the scale of the Jews being killed, and shunned.

Trevor, that is almost as saying that the Muslim Qur'an means nothing to the Jews. They support their text and the Muslims support theirs. The Qur'an also states nothing about the Palestinians living on the land.

When was the Palestinians there? We know the Jews where there because of the holy book, which is a primary source. When were they there, and what is your source.

Tanner, where in history has the Palestinians been in this land? I have never heard of them being in the land. Where is your sources, and where in history is this recorded. We know the Jews were there because of religion, and that will be a huge source in this debate.

The Israelis deserve the land for religious purposes. If your a Muslim, you have about 11 main religious sites, with only 1 being in Israel. That 1 site is Jerusalem, which the Israelis are sharing with the Palestinians. They do not need the land for religious purposes.
