Obviously the scripture-based element of the conflict - namely, Jews are considered 'infidels' in Islam -  is additional  to the territorial-based element of the conflict, namely, the disputed confiscation of territory (in this case, enabled by vote in an international organisation for the first time in history).

There have been vastly greater population movements across the world in the 20th centure alone, both in terns of territory and people.
Yet only one people, the Palestinians, remain a problem, remain a sole UN concern with their own dedicated agencies etc. Why?
Why especially since it has been the Palestinians and Muslim Arabs around them, who have responded with war to the initial UN settlement and then with more wars in response to every effort of peaceful settlement.


I point out the bleedding obvious: had the Paĺlos formed their own state when the Jews did, the WB and Gaza would now be parts of a sovereign country, and not mere occupied teritories (first by Arabs and now by Jews).

Would we Australians willingly cede land and redraw Australia's territory if, say, Indonesia seized parts of northern Australia, claiming an ancient link to the land?

All other staff has nothing to do with this and should be in separate topics.
