Hermus -JRG Grade 7

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?
