for f*cks sake, you people need to get a book and read up..
West Bank:
The West Bank is a territory in the Middle East constituting the area west of the Jordan River annexed by Jordan at the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
The territory formed part of Jordan from 1948 to 1967, after which it was captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War.
It is currently controlled by Israel though much civil control over substantial areas was granted to the Palestinian Authority; together with the Gaza Strip it forms the Palestinian territories at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The status of East Jerusalem is controversial: it meets the above description of territory constituting the West Bank, but has been annexed by Israel, so Israel no longer considers it part of the West Bank; however, the annexation is not recognized by the United Nations or any individual country. In either case, it is often treated as separate from the West Bank due to its importance; for example, the Oslo Peace Accords treat the status of East Jerusalem as a separate matter from the status of the other Palestinian territories, to be resolved at a later undetermined date.
Some people, especially those who support Israeli settlement in and annexation of the territory, prefer the term Judea and Samaria, and the name Cisjordan is also used for the region in some languages (e.g. French).
The West Bank is considered by the United Nations and most countries as occupied by Israel, though some Israelis and various other groups prefer to refer to it as "disputed" rather than "occupied" territory. The West Bank is inhabited by Arabs, Jews, and other ethnic groups . The majority of Arabs living in the West Bank are refugees or their direct descendants, who fled Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Gaza Strip:
The Gaza Strip is a narrow strip of land just northeast of the Sinai Peninsula. At the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War it was occupied by the Egyptians, under which it remained until it was claimed by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967. The Gaza Strip is unusual in being a densely settled area not recognized as a de jure part of any sovereign country.
Together with parts of the West Bank, it is mostly run by the Palestinian Authority. Substantial portions of the Gaza Strip, (mainly the sites of areas populated by Israeli citizens) are controlled by Israel. The Palestinian Authority is not permitted conventional military forces; there are, however, a Public Security Force and a civil Police Force.
In February 2005 the Israeli government voted to withdraw Israel's presence from the Gaza strip during the summer of 2005, including dismantling all the Israeli settlements and removing all Israeli settlers from the strip. After withdrawal Israel may still retain some offshore maritime control and/or a small strip of land (the so-called "Philadelphi Corridor" ) alongside the Egypt-Gaza Strip border. The government still faces significant opposition to the plan.
Palestine:
Under the UN Partition Plan of 1947, Palestine was to be divided into two states of approximately equal size, one for Jews and one for Arabs, as well as the city of Jerusalem, which was to be administered by the UN.
The Palestinians and the Arab states unanimously rejected the partition plan, and attacked the newly declared state of Israel in 1948.
An independent Arab Palestine was briefly declared by a Palestinian National Congress meeting in Gaza; it defined its borders as those of the British Mandate, and its capital as Jerusalem.
However, following the 1949 armistice agreement between Israel and neighboring Arab states, Palestine disappeared as a distinct territory. The territory previously known as Palestine was occupied by Israel, Egypt, Syria and Jordan
