Palestine, now occupied and named Israel, lies on the western edge of Asia. Lebanon and Syria borders Palestine on the north, theMap of the partition plan of Palestine Mediterranean sea to the west, to the south by the Gulf of Aqaba and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula, and to the east by the Kingdom of Jordan. A Mediterranean climate prevails in Palestine. Summers are hot and dry. Winters are rainy and cold. The weather in Gaza is fair and warm in winter, and hot and dry in the summer. The average temperature in the West Bank in the summer is 29 degrees Celsius, in winter it is 12 degrees Celsius.
The official language is Arabic, but the majority speak English and many speak Hebrew, French and some Latin.
Historically, the land of Palestine was populated by a people known as the Palestinians. Palestinians have always been religiously diverse, with the Muslim majority maintaining friendly relations with their Christian, Jewish, and Druze neighbors. At the turn of the 20th Century, a new Jewish nationalist ideology called Zionism was developing. Zionism called for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. During this time, increasing numbers of Jewish Europeans immigrated to Palestine, causing the Jewish population to grow from a tiny minority to 35% of the population.
As of January, 2003, the number of Palestinians worldwide is 9.3 million, of them, 3.6 million reside in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and eastern Jerusalem, and 4.6 million in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and other countries. 2.3 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, 1.3 million in the Gaza Strip and 1 million in Israel. 2.7 million Palestinians live in Jordan, 423,000 in Syria, 403,000 in Lebanon, 578,000 in other Arab states, 223,000 in the US and 295,000 in the rest of the world. It is predicted that the number of Palestinians worldwide will double in 22 years to 18.6 million

You are showing here on this video Safed, Tiberias(which was 80% Jewish in last 200 years) Haifa (55% jewish in 1945) Jewish historical sites etc,
If you deny the right of Israel to exist and if it is the position of your people, why should Israel let the establishment of your state, if not for peace, than for what?
If you deny our right to exist, why should Israel support your right to exist?
Or you really believe that in war you will "wipe out Israel"?

@TheBardicDruid jsut review the last 10 years, how many Palestinains killed in hands of Israel army, and how may Israli killed. I will tell you, more than 20 thousands Palestinains killed (half of them are children) while less than 500 Israeli killed. It is clear who spend more on weapons, who is hreartless. Please wake up, open your eyes, dont be a victim of fanaticals, they use you, use your money for their dirty goals.

@ZiadPalestine What is it with muslims, you get caught in your lies and you just can't stop. It has to be your way or nothing, and you call other fanatical? I've seen how muslims treat each other, and if it wasn't for Israel you people would have and medical care. You spend every cent you get for weapons and let the people live in poverty, just so you can wage jihad against the Jews. I've walked you lands and know the truth.

@ZiadPalestine My hearts not full of hate, my eyes are open and I have read the koran and sahih al-bukhari. I understand what they say and have seen how people are treated in islamic countries. Espically the non-muslims, they're put into second class status if lucky, otherwise wise they're treated serfs.

@TheBardicDruid You are not an expert in religions to say that, have you read Quran or saheeh al-bukhari! You just say that because your heart is full of hate! I am really sorry to see some people who hate without reason. Another thing, waht about Ovadia Yousof and his crazy comments, is he the peace man for you! Opne your eyes man.

@ZiadPalestine The muslims are the liars, the koran and sahih al-bukhari teach muslims to lie.
