Is it because of the land or money wealth or other principles. This problem would go on and go on and on. If the arabs were unified, believe me there would never be anymore Israel. But God wanted Israel to exist and so it exists.

It is all about religion. It always was. Both claim that they are the only true religion of God, fairly obstinate in their beliefs. Both claim the same spiritual and genealogical heritage back to Abraham. For the last 14 hundred years the fought for the same lands... they do hate each other.

A realistic answer to this question has to take into account that Israel only existed as a country briefly thousands of years ago and then after WWII. If there were a god which wanted Israel to exist he apparently only pays attention on rare occassions.
The muslims allowed jews and christians to live among them undisturbed for hundreds of years. Prior to the christian invasion of the levant during the Crusdaes, the three religions lived peacefully in the area. The christians in Europe on the other hand persecuted Jews. As to why the jews were much sought after and hated by the Christians, the answer is money and religion.
Given that muslim attacks on the Jews only really started after muslims were forced to leave their land and it was given to the Jews to settle in the creation of Israel after WWII it is only reasonable to conclude that the stated reason that muslims dislike Israel - that it occupies muslim territory is the actual reason.

Actually the most often used reasons such as, religion, money, land, etc. are just smoke screens for the root cause. The root of this conflict lies the countless generations raising their children within the confines of the pedagogy of toxic-shame.
War is the expression of communities made up of individuals who have been shamed to the point of being absolutely unable to express their emotions - repression of the emotions always results in an internal life and death struggle for One's acceptance and love of the Self.
Don't be fooled into believing this is only a Middle East issue - today's world is made up of humans who have had the exact same pedagogy foisted on them from countless previous generations. This is the Human Race's heritage to its self..

"I bear witness that there is no deity but God, the one, no partner has he, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his servant and messenger. Furthermore, I seek the protection of God from the accursed Satan."
"O you who believe, say not Rai-na and say Unzur-na, and listen, And for the disbelievers there is a painful chastisement" -- Holy Quran: Chapter 2, Verse 104.
Speaking Properly:
The mistakes of the Jews are dealt with in this portion of the Quran. One of their errors was their derision of the word of God. They would twist words and turn them into something else. Many of their spiritual deficiencies were due to the fact that they paid no heed to little matters like this.
The purpose of the Holy Quran is not only to teach the avoidance of evil, but also to inform of the ways by which evil can be so avoided. For instance the command to avoid looking with lust was given by:
"Say to the believing men that they lower their gaze" -- Holy Quran: Chapter 24, Verse 30.
and,
"Say to the believing women that they lower their gaze" -- Holy Quran: Chapter 24, Verse 31.
In short the path was taught by which humans could avoid lustful glances. For when one does not look (at the opposite sex), then looking with lust is automatically avoided.
This verse of the Quran, in the same way, teaches the way of good speech. The Jews were in the habit of twisting the words of God. They were ordered to say "Hata" (petition for forgiveness). They made the word Hanta out of this, and so twisted the words of God. The Jews possessed several deficiencies like this. Allah, Most High, after mentioning these faults, states the way to rise above them. So, the Muslims are addressed here and commanded that if they wish to become truly civilised then they should not follow in the footsteps of the Jews, but instead should completely eschew using any words which can have dual meaning.
For instance when one wants to express "ra-i-na" (be lenient to us) then do not use the word "ra-i-na" because by slightly changing the enunciation to "ra-in" the meaning is changed to boastfulness or stupidness. Instead it is recommended to use the word Unzurna (wait for us or grant us a little delay). From this one example, many good habits of speech have been taught. For instance to keep ones words simple and to avoid language which may hurt someone. The Companions of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) fully understood this principle and acted upon it. It is however sad to note that this Jewish failing has now become prevalent among the Muslims.
Was-ma-u (listen): It means to listen and the implied purpose is to listen and then obey. People, who prefer the words of devils to the word of God and the Prophet, are spiritually ill and one should not follow them. Instead one should listen and accept what Allah, Most High, has stated.
And for the disbelievers there is a painful chastisement: The people who do not take advantage of the sincere advice of Allah but instead deny – for them is a painful chastisement.
"Neither those who disbelieve from among the people of the book, nor the polytheists, like that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. And Allah chooses whom He pleases for His Mercy; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace" - Holy Quran: Chapter 2, Verse 105.
The deniers from the people of the book and the polytheists do not take any benefit (from the Quranic revelation), but furthermore they even resent that any goodness should descend upon the Muslims. However, God chooses whom He pleases for His Grace.
