   @Preliminimal
   I am not sure. But I know that living on someone’s land is not right. Imagine if you were kicked out of your house, you would do anything to get it back (This is under the assumption that the house is very important to you). The only way I can see peace happening is that if the one who got kicked out were willing to let everything slide and move. I do not see this possible and I won’t blame the Palestinians if do not wish to drop their claim to their indigenous home.

   How can this be resolved? If Israel leaves the west Bank and Gaza, will this bring peace?

   Ah- Thanks TrollF, so Israel is illegally living on land that belongs to Palestinian people, and that’s what all the fighting is about?

   But they aren’t in the same land. After the 1967 war Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza and has illegaly built colonies for Jews only on Arab land. Under UN resolution 242 all Israeli forces are meant to leave these lands, but they don’t. Under the Geneva convention it is illegal to move a population to land that was occupied through war. It’s not as “simple” as you think.

   i am on neither side, a teenager. my understanding so far is that Palestine and Israel need to live independently with their own separate electric,water,energy,everything– The two will have peace when they are not confused together in the same land… It can’t be more complicated than that. It shouldn’t be
