Answer 3

When Israel was confirmed as a Nation all the Arabs that were against it started calling themselves pals and moving to the area.

There were few people of any kind there before the Jews came.  No one wanted that stretch of desert until the Jews started turning it green.

Suddenly every Muslim that couldn't cut it in the real world became Jihadist.

Answer 4

It happened when David Ben Gurion declared the independence of the Jewish state of Israel.

Answer 5

There was peace and quiet in Palestine until some jews decided to call that land israel.

You know the rest, the jews are still trying to "convince" these Arabs that this is their home. With guns and a lot of money from America.

But I don't think that it is working out.

It has been 60 years already and things get worse day by day.

I believe it is a matter of time for the Arabs to go back to their homes.

bye bye

Answer 6

The palestine region was split between Jordan and Israel.  That wasn't good enough (for the palestinians) so it was split again. That still wasn't good enough they just kept fighting and fighting and losing and losing.  They lost whatever chance they had in war.  They need to go back to their original countries now.

This video shows what happened and has maps:

Answer 7

After WWII when the authorities decided to stick all the refugee jews onto palestinian land without consulting them as a way to compensate for what they had to go through during hitler's reign. Ever since palestinians have been very bitter and angry because islraelies took their land without permission. While islraelies believe it is their rightful land and holy ground. I think it's too bad that neither sides are willing to compromise and  make peace together.There is just too much political/religious/economical turmoil involved.

Answer 8

Your terminology is inaccurate.

All the Arab states have been at war with Israel, before there had ever been a "Palestinian People."

There is no age-old Palestinian people.  Most so-called Palestinians are relative newcomers to the Land of Israel.  Like a mantra, Arabs repeatedly claim that the Palestinians are a native people.  The concept of a 'Stateless Palestinian people' is not based on fact.  It is a fabrication.

Palestinian Arabs cast themselves as a native people in "Palestine" -- like the Aborigines in Australia or Native Americans in America.  They portray the Jews as European imperialists and colonizers.  This is simply untrue.

Until the Jews began returning to the Land of Israel in increasing numbers from the late 19th century to the turn of the 20th, the area called Palestine was a God-forsaken backwash that belonged to the Ottoman Empire, based in Turkey.

At the turn of the 20th century, the Arab population west of the Jordan River (today, Israel and the West Bank) was about half a million inhabitants, and east of the Jordan River perhaps 200,000.

Most Arabs living west of the Jordan River in Israel, the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza are newcomers who came from surrounding Arab lands after the turn of the 20th century because they were attracted to the relative economic prosperity brought about by the Zionist Movement and the British in the 1920s and 1930s.

This is substantiated by eyewitness reports of a deserted country -- including 18th-century reports from the British archaeologist Thomas Shaw, French author and historian Count Constantine Volney (Travels through Syria and Egypt, 1798); the mid-19th-century writings of Alphonse de Lamartine (Recollections of the East, 1835); Mark Twain (Innocents Abroad, 1867); and reports from the British Consul in Jerusalem (1857) that were sent back to London.

The Ottoman Turks' census (1882) recorded only 141,000 Muslims in the Land of Israel.  The real number is probably closer to 350,000 to 425,000, since many hid to avoid taxes.  The British census in 1922 reported 650,000 Muslims.

Aerial photographs taken by German aviators during World War I show an underdeveloped country composed mainly of primitive hamlets.  Ashdod, for instance, was a cluster of mud dwellings, Haifa a fishing village.  In 1934 alone, 30,000 Syrian Arabs from the Hauran moved across the northern frontier into Mandate Palestine, attracted by work in and around the newly built British port and the construction of other infrastructure projects.  They even dubbed Haifa Um el-Amal ('the city of work').

The fallacy of Arab claims that most Palestinians were indigenous to Palestine -- not newcomers - is also bolstered by a 1909 vintage photograph of Nablus, today an Arab city on the West Bank with over 121,000 residents.  Based on the number of buildings in the photo taken from the base of Mount Gerizim, the population in 1909 -- Muslim Arabs and Jewish Samaritans -- could not have been greater than 2,000 residents.

Answer 9

The Palestinians rejected the partition that offered them a chance at a country of their own and then attempted to destroy Israel by attacking them with the backing of five Arab countries: Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Syria.  They wanted to force out the Israelis and also Arab countries kicked out the majority of Sephardic Jews living in the Middle East and North Africa.  This is known as the triple rejectionism by Palestinians and the Israeli War of Independence.

Answer 10

The UN partition that created the state of Israel also proposed a second Arab state from the Mandate.  (The first was Transjordan, in 1922, which got 7/8ths of the land.)

The League of Arab Nations rejected the offer, told all the Arabs there to flee and reassured them that they could return shortly -- after the Jewish state had been destroyed.  But it didn't work out that way.

The Arabs who fled wound up in refugee camps set up by Egypt and Transjordan.  Those who stayed are full Israeli citizens.  They make up some 23% of the population.

Palestinian Arab immigration has been severely restricted, and often prohibited, by Arab nations, lest their identity be diluted (i.e., they cease to be an effective propaganda tool against Israel).  Several of those same Arab nations expelled their resident Jews, by the way, and confiscated their property.  It *should* have been a fairly routine post-war population transfer, messy but common.

Birth rates have been so high in the Gaza strip that if the Arab population there were to become Israeli citizens, in addition to the 23% who already are, it would be a matter of two to three generations before they became the majority.  Those who insist that Israel be destroyed are willing to do it by any means necessary -- military, guerilla, using their kin as political pawns . They'd be quite happy to outnumber and outvote Israeli Jews if that's what it takes.

However, you should read what some prominent Arab commentators such as Abdul Rahman Al-Rashed, general manager of Al-Arabiya television, have to say.

In an article "40 Years: The Real Stigma" that appeared in Asharq Alawsat on 09/06/2007, he wrote:

"Our insistence to lock the Palestinians in camps and treat them like animals in the name of preserving the issue is far worse a crime than Israel stealing land and causing the displacement of people. The 60 year-old camps only signify our inhumanity and double standards. Israel can claim that it treats the Palestinians better than their Arab brothers do. It gives citizenship to the Palestinians of 1948 as well as the right to work and the right to lead a somewhat normal life, although they are treated as second-class citizens.

"Blame lies with the Arab League and Arab governments that took part in or kept silent about this moral scandal. Rather than seeking to help them or provide for their demands, they preoccupy Arab public opinion with conferences and hollow rhetoric on the issue and on refugees.

"Finally, we have to be true to ourselves and ask whether the way of life of these one million people is fair."



I hope that the asker understands that now.

Answer 11

The chairman of the Arab Higher Committee said the Arabs would "fight for every inch of their country."Two days later, the holy men of Al-Azhar University in Cairo called on the Muslim world to proclaim a jihad (holy war) against the Jews. Jamal Husseini, the Arab Higher Committee's spokesman, had told the UN prior to the partition vote the Arabs would drench "the soil of our beloved country with the last drop of our blood . . . ."

Husseini's prediction began to come true almost immediately after the UN announced partition resolution on November 29, 1947. The Arabs declared a protest strike and instigated riots that claimed the lives of 62 Jews and 32 Arabs. Violence continued to escalate through the end of the year.

The first large-scale assaults began on January 9, 1948, when approximately 1,000 Arabs attacked Jewish communities in northern Palestine. By February, the British said so many Arabs had infiltrated they lacked the forces to run them back. In fact, the British turned over bases and arms to Arab irregulars and the Arab Legion.

In the first phase of the war, lasting from November 29, 1947 until April 1, 1948, the Palestinian Arabs took the offensive, with help from volunteers from neighboring countries. The Jews suffered severe casualties and passage along most of their major roadways was disrupted.

On April 26, 1948, Transjordan's King Abdullah said:

[A]ll our efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Palestine problem have failed. The only way left for us is war. I will have the pleasure and honor to save Palestine.

On May 4, 1948, the Arab Legion attacked Kfar Etzion. The defenders drove them back, but the Legion returned a week later. After two days, the ill-equipped and outnumbered settlers were overwhelmed. Many defenders were massacred after they had surrendered. This was prior to the invasion by the regular Arab armies that followed Israel's declaration of independence.

The UN blamed the Arabs for the violence. The UN Palestine Commission was never permitted by the Arabs or British to go to Palestine to implement the resolution. On February 16, 1948, the Commission reported to the Security Council:

Powerful Arab interests, both inside and outside Palestine, are defying the resolution of the General Assembly and are engaged in a deliberate effort to alter by force the settlement envisaged therein.

The Arabs were blunt in taking responsibility for starting the war. Jamal Husseini told the Security Council on April 16, 1948:

The representative of the Jewish Agency told us yesterday that they were not the attackers, that the Arabs had begun the fighting. We did not deny this. We told the whole world that we were going to fight.

The British commander of Jordan's Arab Legion, John Bagot Glubb admitted:

Early in January, the first detachments of the Arab Liberation Army began to infiltrate into Palestine from Syria. Some came through Jordan and even through Amman . . . They were in reality to strike the first blow in the ruin of the Arabs of Palestine.

Despite the disadvantages in numbers, organization and weapons, the Jews began to take the initiative in the weeks from April 1 until the declaration of independence on May 14. The Haganah captured several major towns including Tiberias and Haifa, and temporarily opened the road to Jerusalem.The partition resolution was never suspended or rescinded. Thus, Israel, the Jewish State in Palestine, was born on May 14, as the British finally left the country. Five Arab armies (Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq) immediately invaded Israel. Their intentions were declared by Azzam Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League: "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades
