  what do you knew about THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT?

  Q. WHAT IS THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT? AND WHO TO SOLVE IT?
  
  A. The Arab-Israeli conflict in modern history is simply an illegal Jewish occupation of the Palestinian lands in two stages. The first stage was in 1948; they occupied 78% of the Arab-Palestinian lands and established their state, Israel. The second stage was in 1967. Israel launched an offensive war against the Arabs and occupied the rest of the Palestinian lands, which consisted of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip.
  
  Until 1988, Palestinians attempted to regain their land by legitimate military struggle, by establishing the PLO and a number of other fighting groups.
  
  In 1988, the Palestinians, in order to come to a practical solution to their situation, accepted a large compromise by recognizing Israel's fictitious right to exist in Palestinian lands, stolen in 1948, however still demanding the end of the Israel's occupation of the Palestinian lands captured in 1967, allowing the establishment of a Palestinian state there.
  
  The Palestinians, in order to have their freedom and to end the occupation of the lands, attempted different strategies including diplomacy, peace talks and public protest. The Intifada is another way to protest the continued occupation.
  
  Regardless of all the approaches and after the compromise from the Palestinians, Israeli has not ended their occupation of the Palestinian lands captured in 1967. Parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank have been granted severely limited autonomy under the control of the Palestinian National Authority, as part of a peace agreements signed after 1993.
  
  The only way to end the 100 years of conflict is, Israel should comply with International law and to UN resolutions related to the Arab-Israeli conflict (194, 242 and others), which consider the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands in stolen 1967 as illegal, stipulating Israel must end it's occupation. By ending the occupation and solving the issues caused by it, such as Palestinian refugees issue and the issue of Israel settlement in West Bank and Gaza Strip, and giving the Palestinian there legitimate right to rule themselves in their own country, to decide for themselves, to take care of there own future and to have their FREEDOM, then the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be over.

  Q. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED STATE OF PALESTINE?
  
  A. State of Palestine, which consists of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip have been under illegal military occupation by Israeli forces since 1967, and in 1988, the Palestinian National Council, (the Palestinian parliament), declared the PROPOSED state of Palestine as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as the capital. This declaration was based on UN resolution number 242 and other resolutions related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This proposed state is not independent yet.
  
  After the peace agreement signed with Israel in 1993, parts of Gaza Strip and the West Bank has been given back to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and other areas, which is more then 60% are still under Israeli military occupation.
  
  The declaration of the Palestinian state means to declare the independence of Palestine and the end of the Israeli occupation. Israel still refuses to end their occupation and return the rest of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to the PNA while simultaneously continuing their expansion of the illegal Jewish there.
