Why are Israel and Palestine enemies?
I know they've been fighting for years. But I don't know why. Why do they hate eachother?

All of what is today Israel used to be Palestine - I think that sums it up.
Though it depends how far back in history you want to go, the region changed hands many times over the past few thousand years and wasn't always "Palestine" either.
Ah I see.
Thought this take was curious:
The history of the area is so messy its hard to explain.
During
World War I the Arabs there revolted against the Ottoman Empire with
the help of the British and were promised their independence. The Brits
do what they do and decide to keep the Palestine with the French.
Between
the wars the British promised the nation to both the Arabs and the
Jews. After World War II the United Nations created Isreal with the Arab
parts given to Jordan (the West Bank) and Egypt (Gaza).
Israel eventually captured the Gaza Strip and West Bank and basically runs them as reservations for Palestinians.
Oh shit. OK so this is about land?
It’s about lots of things, but Israel does take more and more of their land.
different leader's religious beliefs & they stole land from each other. Mostly because everyone is so spritually inclined there it's hard to fathom someone going from 0 to 100,000,000 over religious belief. Well they did for over 28 years wasn't that how long the last war was before both leaders died & now it's been based off of who was right?
