The Israeli and Palestinian conflict began in 1948 when the state of Israel was established. Both sides are fighting over the same land. They even call the land two different names. Israelites call it Israel and Palestinians call it Palestine. Neither side will simply give away the land because the land has deeper religious meaning to them both. The believe that God or Allah haas given the land to them, if they give the land away it would be insulting to God and seen as unappreciative. Israel is currently in control of the land and have strict boundaries and rules for the Israelites to follow. Although they are in control they cannot just drive the Israeli people out of the land so they intend to drive them out by mistreating them, hoping they will flee the land. This is an ongoing battle for power and a resolution does not seem to be near. Both sides have come to many different agreements in the past but they never seem to be met and the battle for power continues.
