The 1947 UN Resolution (the famous resolution 142) that is the most relevant one starting point for Israel and Palestine. The two nations were put on equal footing and given land to both parties, as well as the right to self-determination and a bunch of other things. In a series of wars (which Israel didn't start), Israel has occupied land, evicted Palestinians and moved them into refugee camps. That is why everyone refers to the area as Israel and the Occupied Territories. Numerous UN Resolutions have since insisted that Israel leave -- which they have ignored. |
