I believe that the Israelis rightfully own the land of Israel because they have fought many times to get it from the Palestinian. Many lives were lost and many people were injured. Another reason I think that the Israelis should have the land is because they were offered the land of Israel. Evidence: In 1948 the Jewish people returned to there homeland, Israel. The United Nation gave them the land and Israel became a new country. Side: Israel deserves the land.

I think that Israel deserves the land because the territory was captured in wars and given to the Israelites out of sorrow. This shows that it was a gift to Israel, not Palestine. Also God gave Jews the land in ancient times, and the Jewish people settled an developed in the land as far back as records show. This land was a given to the Isrealites, over many occasions not to the Palestinians. Side: Israel deserves the land.

But the Palestinians lived there longer than the Jewish people and they left during the war thinking they would be able to come back but found out the U.N gave it to the Jewish people, now they don't have a homeland and the Jewish people do so the Palestine's should get it Side: Palestine deserves the land.

But Palestine fought harder causing the Jews to flee because such Arab brutality. The Arabs were giving such mass murders, the Jews had to leave. They had no choice. So the Jewish people did fight. But the Arabs fought much harder for the land. Side: Israel deserves the land.

it says that the Jews were there first. But that doesn't mean they get full rights. It just never recorded the Palestinians. and also, They shouldn't act like little kids. "We were here first." "NO you weren't" "Yeah" "No." stop acting like that they are all adults they should work it out like adults not base it off of "we were here first." Side: Palestine deserves the land.

The Israeli didn't do anything wrong, but the Palestinian allied themselves with terrorists. For example, in March 1981, the towns of Zahlé in the Bekaa and East Beirut were shelled. In Lebanon, even the Red Cross was a target for the Syrians. Sister [Nun] Marie Sophie Zoghbi was one of the Red Cross ambulance drivers since the beginning of the war. She had forced her way through the front to the south of the town of Zahlé on the Saadnayel road. Alone at the wheel of her ambulance, she'd gone to fetch the dying in Zahlé. The Syrians shot the vehicle, killing her on the spot. The town's hospital was eradicated by thousands of shells which fell on it during one night. Water, food, and medicines grew rarer and the corpses of some of the wounded who'd died under the shelters couldn't be evacuated. In all, the fighting had left some two hundred dead and five hundred wounded in Beirut alone. The Palestinians, too, had participated actively in the Zahlé shelling. The Palestinian military commander was Ahmad Ismail. (I found that on this website - http://www.gotc- Side: Israel deserves the land.
Really, its the only place in the world that has a large community of Jew's; its important for people to stay connected with there heritage and where they come from. On the website (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/us/ Side: Israel deserves the land.

I believe Israeli deserves the land, and here are some of my reasons. First off, the Jews settled in the land first. Right off the bat, that's one of the BIG reasons they have the right to the land. Another reason would be, when the Jews went to war with the Palestine, the Jews actually ended up winning, giving them the right to own the land. Both sides wanted peace, but kept fighting. The result, Jews won the war, allowing them to capture the land for themselves. Even when the Jews left the land, and the Palestine took over, they came back "forcefully," once again, taking over and controlling the land. My third and final reason is, the Jews stated that, "God gave us the land." If this is true, the Jews very rightfully deserve the land of Israel. Side: Israel deserves the land.

Basing your rights off of religion is a horrible idea. Because 1. Not everyone believes in that stuff. 2. It doesn't mean you have divine rights and 3. the government/architects build houses yet people come from all over and buy them in different areas. So isn't that the same thing. only difference is if its land or a building. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

6,862 people from Palestine have died in war since the year 2000 and only 1,109 people have died from Israel, that's over 6 times as many people! Source: if Americans Only Knew. Plus, saying god gave Israel the land isn't a good reason for them keeping the land instead of Palestine when they don't even have a homeland. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

But still the Israelis had left and it is only fair for the Palestinian to have the land. Because they have lived there for much f a longer time than the Israelis ever have and they cant just ask the land back from the Palestine. Its not fair for the Palestinian to get kicked off there land for the Israelis who have only lived a short time at the land in the past. Side: Palestine deserves the land.
I say that yes they had it first but Palestinians had it longer because they never left. Yes they won the wars but don't the Palestinians have rights to? So yes they won the war but you cant kick out someone who has been there and hasent left unlike the Jews. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

Yes. But still, the Israelis wouldn't keep any single attention onto god. They were all worried about the land. It was their fault they left in the first place. The Palestinians would keep more company with god and prey to him more often. The Israelis, they did none of that... Side: Israel deserves the land.

Yes. But the article that I was reading clearly states: Maybe. But we should ask ourselves something: If the Israelites were driven from the land by God for not keeping covenant with him, why are they back on the land now and still not keeping covenant with him? Answer that.... Side: Palestine deserves the land.
No, they BELIEVE that God gave them the land. The land was rightfully the Palestinians, the Jews had no right to come back with force to get control over the land. The land is the Palestinians and should stay that way, they were there since the beginning, unlike the Jews. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I think the the Palestinians should have the land because the Israelis didn't take care of the land for a while and wasn't keeping covenant (company) with god. The Palestinians should keep the land because they would keep more company with god, unlike the Israelis. Also, even though the Israelis were back on the land, they wouldn't keep covenant with god. (Weren't paying much attention to him). Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I think Paleinistine deserves the land because the Paleninstine claims article says that the Jews made the Palestinians leave their homes and flee to neighboring Arab countries when the Palestinians always lived on that land. Also Palenstine is a holy place for Muslims too that land has always been important to Muslim faith. The Jews just took over. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I believe that the Palestinians have the right to the land because the Jewish people left in great numbers, and then returned. Also the Palestinians have never left the land and the Jewish people left and then came back to take the land back from the Palestinians. Some people say that the Jewish people claim the land because of there religion and that God gave the Jewish people Israel, but the Jewish people have a home land on what is the Palestinians land and this land is important to Muslim faith.

I say that Palestine deserves the land. Mainly because all of Israels Reasons are largely based around their religion, which doesn't provide great proof. MY first reason that Palestine deserves the land is because the Jews left pretty much saying "here have it." MY evidence to support this is that when the Jews left the Palestinians came and started to live there. Then the Jews come back and try to forcefully "regain" the land. If they want it that bad, try settling on terms or you know, they could just live on the land together. Anyway, my second reason is that the Jews have plenty of land already. They say that the land is theirs, but really the Palestinians are being pushed into little refugee areas while the Jews control most if not all of the land right now. Now they will say something like "God gave the land to the Jews." but they have to think, "Just because you say that, doesn't mean everyone else believes you have divine rights." So in conclusion I say that the Palestinians should have the land. Side: Palestine deserves the land.
I believe that the land belongs to Palestine. One reason is that the Palestine always lived at the land and never left. while the Israeli was once at the land and left only to come back to fight and have wars over the land. The Israeli has only one nation and that means that the do not take very well care of there land to only have one nation. The Palestine has 21 states that they owned this means that the Palestine takes very well care of there land and keeps up with it. Palestine has more responsibility so they should deserve the land. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I think that Palestine should get the land, one reason is that The Palestinians have always lived there, if they were going to travel they went in small groups so that means that they never left where as the Jewish people would travel in large groups. They have also been there as long as the Jewish people have if not longer so the land would belong to them. It was also a Arab country so it should belong to the Palestinians. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I don't agree with that because they might have left but when they came back they refused to give it back and the Arabs brutality beat them plus it was theirs in the first place and they went to war and won so they should be able to have the land back. Side: Israel deserves the land.

Yes, they went to war. Did they even prey to their God? No. They didn't. They kept no attention to him what so ever. They shouldn't have left. If they wouldn't have left, they would have a bigger advantage. It was theirs, yes. But bringing it back to the God part, they would have a bitter chance of getting the land back. Their fault they left for war, their fault they weren't preying. Side: Israel deserves the land.

Palestinians should get at least half of Israel because, Palestinians have always been on that land and now they have no homeland. They left in small groups, but there has always been some of them there, unlike Israelis who left all at once. The Israelis forced them to leave there homes and go into refugee camps in neighboring countries. At first Palestinians left fled to other countries trying to avoid war, thinking they could come home, but they couldn't. The Israelis had already taken the land. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

Because there is no time in the areas history that they have not lived there. And why do the Jews get a home land on what is Arab land, and then the Arabs have no home land. Israel is a holy place for Arabs as well as Jews, throughout history this land has bee important to the Muslim faith, especially in Jerusalem. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

Palestine should have there own land because Palestine don't even have there own land and Jewish people have plenty of homeland for themselves and Jerusalem especially is very important to Muslim faith. So don't you think Palestine should get the land? Because if they don't have land and it is important to their religion, then they deserve it. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

Palestine wasn't a nation but it was a huge country of people so your argument is irrelevant. Plus, just because the Nazi's drove you out doesn't mean that Israel deserves it. The last thing I have to say about that dispute is that Palestine was their first so they deserve it no the Israelis just because they were flushed out. Palestine was flushed out BY ISRAEL so Palestine deserves it just as much. Side: Palestine deserves the land.
I think Palestinians deserve the land because the Palestinians had that land ad their home land for a 1,000 years, they may say it was theirs first but its like saying my friend gave me a cookie but then she would want it back after i ha it for a long time but its yours now because you had it for a long time so they cant take it back. They say god gave them that land but they don't have any proof that he said that so that reasoning doesn't count so they don't have enough evidence so thats why i think Palestinians deserve that land. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

there is many reason why each country should overtake the land but the advantages over rule on the side of the Palestinians, Israelite's have left multiple times and returned. The thing that caused this controversy was the Israel people were repeatedly leaving and coming back after weeks months and sometimes years, the Palestine people had no idea if they would stay or come back, overtime the Israels didn't show up so the Palestine's decided to take it over. Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I strongly believe that that the Palestinians deserve the land over the Israelis. A reason I have for this is, Palestinians have always lives on the land or environment. One evidence is that, Palestinians and the Jews have been there for same length of time but the Jews decided to leave and go somewhere else. So once the Jews left, the land was all to the Palestinians. So the land could of been the Jews but they left. If they would have stayed their maybe they would had have a chance to own the land. But it was their decision to leave. Source-Blue Sheet/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Side: Palestine deserves the land.

I believe Palestine should have the land because they had it first! It's their home land and they deserve it, even though god supposedly gave the Jewish that land. But I think that that point could be disputed because god giving them their land isn't good argument when Palestine already had it in the first place. This is a very lopsided war because the USA is granting Israel $8.5 million and Palestine get $0! Plus for my strongest fact, I found that only 129 Israel kids were killed. I realize that that's bad, but 1,523 Palestinians are way worse. That's why Palestine should get the land no doubt. -Lucas Long Side: Palestine deserves the land.

Another reason that the Palestinians should get to keep the land is because They don't have a homeland anymore. And they would if it weren't for the Jews and when the Jewish people left the Palestine people owned it they cant come back and take it from them it was there homeland but now they don't get one witch is not fair cause they had to flea to neighboring country's to avoid being in the line of fire during the war.! Side: Palestine deserves the land.
I believe that Palestine deserves the land because it was their land in the first place, they've had the land the whole time. According to the Blue Sheet, there was no time in history when Palestine has not lived there. On the blue sheet, and I quote, "Palestinians should have their own country as well. Why do the Jews get a homeland on what is our land, and we have not homeland." What this means is that, the Jews can't just take their homeland that was rightfully theirs. They had it first and the Jews can't just come in and take it for themselves. The land rightfully belongs to the Palestinians, they didn't do anything, and the Jews just shouldn't be able to come back with force and take over the land. It was the Palestinians land in the first place and shouldn't be taken by anyone else. According to Wikipedia.org, the Palestinians have had the land since the beginning. The Jews had no right to come back forcefully. The land belongs to Palestine. Thank you. Side: Palestine deserves the land.
Also my second reason is that the Jewish already have a homeland and the Arab do not have a homeland. And without a homeland there is no place to call home. If the Jewish got to have the land they would have two different homelands and that is not very fair to the Arab who deserve the homeland. Side: Palestine deserves the land.
When the Jewish people came back and started the war in 1946 so far this war has left 4.7 million Palestinian are classified as refugees by the U.N. this just goes to show that the Israeli are pushing the Palestinians out of the country and will do what ever it takes.

The Jews started the war making the Palestinians leave there homes and go to other Arab country's cause they didn't want to get hurt, they didn't think that it would last long and that they could come back when it was over, they came back but left again because the Isrealets were there because the U.N gave it to them. There are allot of Arab country's witch is a big responsibility and they didn't know what was going on they thought they would come back and the Jews would be gone but they weren't. so the Palestine's should get the land to keep! They deserve it! Side: Palestine deserves the land.
