One of the main reasons behind Israeli-Palestinian conflict is 'misunderstanding of religious history'. The Jews think they own the region because:

1. Abraham (ancestor of Christians, Jews and Muslims) lived in that region.
2. God promised them that land.
3. Moses took them to the region.

Now I will explain why these three points should not apply…

1. Abraham was the ancestor of Jews (who are Isaac’s offspring) but he himself was not a Jew (many uneducated people claim such). He was a Hebrew, means someone who came from the other side of the Euphrates. It has been mentioned in the Old Testament that Abraham was a stranger in Israel and he came from a place called ‘Ur of Caldes’ (near Mesopotamia), modern day Iraq. Therefore, he was more of an Arab than Jew.

2. The Jews are offspring of Isaac and Muslims are offspring of Ismail. Thus, both have equal rights to live in Palestine. However, that does not happen in racist Israel.

3. Moses was not a Jew either. The name ‘Jew’ comes from Judah. Moses was a descendant of Levite, not Judah
Again this religious bullshit. This has nothing to do with history and real facts.
Anyway there were several Jewish states in Israel along the history. Since the destruction of the last Jewish state. There were no other independent entities in this area until again the creation of Jewish state.

Let’s discuss recent events. After the Holocaust, Jews were given Palestine and Palestinians became refugees. One should think twice before calling the Palestinians “terrorists”; although radicals do outrageous things, some of them are fighting for liberation from colonist Israel.
The refuge problem was created only because Arab states brutally attacked newly created Israel. If they wouldnt do so. There could be Palestinian state 60 years ago.

Politically there is no solution in this conflict. It is widely known how Israel mistreats it’s Arab minority. There are thousands of examples of such racist, discriminatory acts carried out by Israeli Army. Palestinians can’t decide on any random ridiculous solution since it would always be a lose-lose situation for them. They are the ones living as refugees in their motherland
There would be no solution until Arabs will accept Israel existence and Jewish right for self determination.
