I don't know. However I believe that the Palistinians believe that
their land was stolen from them and they want it back.


It wasn't stolen, they abandoned it. The Jews forced no Arabs off their
land. Many Arabs, those that are referred to as Palestinians, abandoned
their land in 1948 at the behest of their fellow Arabs in Jordan, Syria,
etc. They were to leave while the Arab states forced the Jews off their
lands and drove them into the sea, then the Arabs would return and have all
of the land. Israel would not exist. But the Arabs lost the war, and those
that had abandoned their land within the new state of Israel were now
homeless. The Arabs that didn't abandon their land are now citizens of
Israel. They vote, hold seats in the Knesset, and have the highest standard
of living among any Arabs in the world. Other than the relative few that
control large quantities of oil, of course.
