What is hamas ,isreal,palestine issue?

Question

Please tell me what's the issue between isreal palestine hams etc?

Answer 1

Israel was created as a homeland for the Jewish/ethnic Israeli people just after World War II by a coalition of countries including Great Britain. In order for the Israeli nation to be created, land had to be taken from somewhere -- namely, the surrounding nations of Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt, as well as the former territory of Palestine. Those Palestinian people were left displaced by the mass influx of people who became Israeli, and the Palestinians were left, in their eyes, without a homeland. The Palestinians now mostly occupy the Gaza Strip and West Bank, territories that Israel holds/held under military control.

Hamas, a para-political militarist (read: terrorist, to the Israeli people and most western nations) group, recently forcibly took control of Gaza, using it as a base for, among other things, missile attacks on Israel, and as a temporary territory for the Palestinians. Hamas fights, through those attacks, and what political leverage they can get, to regain (or, as has been proven, forcibly seize) these Israeli territories for the Palestinian people.

The West and the Israeli authorities for the most part refuse to engage in talks with Hamas. This does make sense, to most, given that Hamas is first and foremost a terrorist organization, but one must wonder how a Palestinian nation can be created, as G. Bush desires before he leaves office, without including the most visible fighters for one?

It's a mixed up world, Nilesh. Be glad you're not an Israeli.

Or a politician.

Answer 2

The issue is that the "State of Israel" was forced upon the Palestinians without them having any say in it. A poll in 1948 showed that an overwhelming majority of the Palestinians (about 98.7%) opposed the creation of the pseudo State of Israel.

Palestine has been mentioned at least 450 times in the Bible and the Jews have sought to deny it's very existence. The Palestinians are noble people that crave peace but the Jews have engaged in land theft, house demolitions, killing of children etc which has propmpted the Palestinians to retaliate .

The situation in a nutshell

Hamas is a Palestinian charity, militant, political, governmental and resistance organization. Hamas is declared as a terrorist organization by the US for resisting Jewish occupation of their lands. Go figure.

Answer 3

The Jews are kicked out of Europe.

The Arabs let the Jews into Palestine.

The Jews decided to takeover Palestine

with the help of UK and the USA.

The Arabs got mad.

They went to war.

The Jews won and pushed 711,000 people out of their homeland.

On May 8, 2008, the day that celebrates Israel’s 60th anniversary, the skies of the Jerusalem were dark as Palestinians launched 21,915 balloons into the sky—one balloon to mark each day since the establishment of Israel in 1948.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine stretches back to 1917, when the British Prime Minister announced his intentions to establish a Jewish state. His goal, however, was not realized until 1948 when Zionists—people who support the creation of a Jewish state—, with the aide of the British, forced 711,000 Palestinians out of their homeland.

Contrary to some beliefs, however, the relationship between Israelis and Palestinians has not always been marked with pain and death. Before the building of walls and borders to separate the two beliefs, both sides—Muslims and Christian (known as the Palestinians) and Jews—lived in peace. In fact, during the time of the Holocaust, Palestinians welcomed Jews to their country, hoping to help them escape the genocide. The Damascus Gates (doors to Palestine) were opened to survivors of the genocide and were flooded by refugees from the Holocaust.

The days of a happy relationship between the two races, however, are long gone. By the 1950s, the land that Israel occupied was gradually expanding into northern Egypt. Then, in 1956, after discussions with America and the Soviet Union, Israel consented to withdrawing forces from the Sinai Peninsula in what is today referred to as the ‘Suez Crisis.’

Peace was temporary.

Eleven years later, violence broke out again during the Six Day War when Palestine, backed by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and other Middle Eastern countries was defeated by Israel. Israel, which received no support from other countries, was able to win by rendering the Egyptian army defenseless through a series of aerial attacks and bombardments. Since the Six-Day-War over 18,000 Palestinian homes were destroyed to create new Israeli settlements.

Today, Palestine is no longer on the map and the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip have been recognized as Israeli territory. However, this does not mean that violence no longer exists. Both sides have sentimental and religious values and beliefs tied to the area. Jews believe the area to be religious because it contains the Wailing Wall and Muslims believe their claim to the area comes from the presence of Al Masjid Al Haram and Al Aqsa Mosque.

To add confusion to this affair, both sides believe they are entitled to the area for other reasons. Before Jews were granted right to Palestine, they were constantly persecuted—not only during the Holocaust—but also from the countries in which they lived in.

The U.S. has supported Israel since 1948 and, today, it grants Israel $108 billion per year. Paul Findley, however, who has worked in the US congress for 22 years argues, “We’re in a deep hole because we’re so heavily biased in favor of Israel, and the whole world knows it. And they are astounded by it. They can’t comprehend why America, that’s great and carious traditions close its eyes to the dreadful punishment that we have enabled Israel to inflict on virtually defenseless people.”
