There are several unresolved issues in the Arab Israel conflict, but the one that stood out was the fight over having Jerusalem as their capital, and whether or not the land of Palestine should go to the Jews (Israelis) or the Arabs (Palestinians), in my opinion the land and capital should rightly go to the Israelis.

But, than, Thousands of Jews were killed, when they revolted against the Roman Empire, which was unfair considering that were also Arabs living on the land and only the Jews were the only ones being killed. Some of the thousand Jews that survived were either sold into slavery or were thrown out of Palestine.

After most of the Jews were thrown out there were half a million Arabs that lived in Palestine 80% Muslim and 8% Jews in 1890. This information shows that many Jews were killed and hardly any Arabs were killed by the Roman Empire. During the 12 century Palestine had a population of 225,000 then decreased at the end of the 14th century to 150,000, still half a million Arabs lived in Palestine at the end of the 19
