What do you think about the Palestinian Israeli conflict?

At first I thought palestinians were just terrorists until I realized that they are angry because the Jews kicked them off their land with no explaination or payment. What the palestinians are doing isnt right but it's understandable. What do you think?

i think you'll find that the jews were given that land a long time ago for some where to settle. Palistinians need to grow up and look what they have already. what is a tiny piece of land going to achieve. Nothing

the Jews didnt really settle there until after WW2 when they were looking for a safe haven. It is true that the bible says the land was given to Abraham their forefather but the land rightfully belonged to the Palestinians first. They were there and were kicked out and put in refugee camps...many palestinians still have the land deeds for the land that the owned.

Palestinians : While the majority of the people want peace and land, the more extreme section wants complete elimination of Israel, and will likely use violence to try to sabotage any compromise. Israelis : Most, like the Palestinians, want a secure and peaceful home, and want to be free to practice their religion. Many also feel "tied" to the land, due to religious beliefs. Not as much violence by individual terror groups, but the government is often heavy-handed.

I agree 100% but at the same time the Israeli's dont seem as violent but that's because they have control of the palestinians. The palestinians really have no freedom...they cant go into Jerusalem and they were put into refugee camps. Thanks you for your input. Have you ever seen the movie PROMISES? it is really good. It discusses the conflict from the views of children. It was an incredible film. It made me cry.
