Hasn’t it been almost 60 years now that the Palestinians have been at war with Israel?"No, the Arabs. The Palestinians were displaced during the wars in that 60 year period.
The First Intifada (1987 - 1993) was a mass uprising by the Palestinians against Israeli military occupation. The Second Intifada started in 2000 and continues.
There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964... three years BEFORE the Arabs of "Palestine" lost the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza as a result of the 1967 Six-Day War (which the Arabs started). Even the so-called leader of the "Palestinian" people, Yasser Arafat, was an EGYPTIAN! In short, the so-called Arab "Palestinians" are a manufactured people...a people with no history and no authenticity... whose sole purpose for existence is to destroy the Jewish State!
You can thank the United Nations for the turmoil in the middle east. They were the ones who decided to redraw the national boundaries.
