Isreal wants the right to exist and worship god their way, and the arabs (Muslims) want to kill them in the name of Allah.

The whole conflict started with the Romans. Yes the Romans. Remember they had a huge empire which did cover the present day isreal and most of the middle east. well the whole thing started when the Roman conquers demanded the Jews to give up there religion and only worship the holy roman emperor b/c to the romans he was a god and all worshiped him. but heres the thing, the Jews really didnt have to give it up, all they had to say was yea yea we belive in the holy roman emperor as our god and then when the soldiers wernt there they cud practice wutever they want. its wut a lot of christians did, they never took this emperor guy serious. however the Jews stood up to this rule and said no. This pissed the romans off and they banished the jews from there home land and distributed them all over europe in an attempt to wipe them out. didnt work, the religion stayed strong. but for the next 2000 years the muslims, or more specific, the palestinians took ova the land. Then after wwII, the US, britain, and france gave the jews there wish they demanded which was there home land. so after 2000 years of occupations, the palestinians were kicked out there own land. this is what pissed them off and is why muslims and jews r enemyies becuase before then jews, christians, and muslims all lived in peace and harmony there. there was no hatred, not until the country of isreal was formed. and believe this or not but the middle east was allies with and supported britain and the US b/c of a lot of the investment that was brought there. But when the US along wit others made this happen, it caused deep hatred for the americans and western europe for that matter b/c the middle east thought they were backed and supported by them. but to get back to my point, the arab isreal conflict is the blame of the Romans but was escalated when the state of israel was formed.

At the end of WW1 the leauge of nations occupied the old ottoman teritories outside of modern day turkey. So, with the land now know as palestinbe under british control the jews moved there in droves. This coupled with intense lobbying by jews in britian to make a state of israel set the groundwork for the realization of the jewish state. At the end of WW2 due to the sheer amount of jews in the area it was decided that they needed there own nation. Roosevelt promised King Saud of saudi arabis that he would not allow this to happen in return for oil during the conflict. Roosevelt died and Truman went along with the british plan. Arabs were pissed and attacked the jews, the jews embarrased them and doubled there land and included jerusalem into there new nation. Israel as set up by the UN after WW2 would've been tiny but the muslims had to attack, now they are faced with having to give up even more land to the jews because they lost succesive wars to them. Some in the muslim world just want to return to the original borders, the jew wont do this because it would be barley a beach head on the coastline, only pockets of land at best. Basically the arabs screwed themselves and now have to live (or die) with there stupid descisions.

In simple terms. This hatred started with the descendants of Abraham. Two sons, one from Sarah, Abraham's wife and one from Sarah's handmaiden. Isaac the son of Sarah is the line of the Hebrew, Ismael, the son of the handmaiden is the father of the Arab. God's blessing was given to the Hebrews through Isaac. Both Sarah's descendants through Isaac and the handmaidens descendants through Ismael were promised to father many peoples. Isaac's line came through the Hebrew King David to Christ who was the Messiah promised. The Arabs believe that when the Hebrews denied the Messiah and he was crucified, the promise of blessing was taken from the Hebrews and given to the Arabs through Muhammad. The hatred has been going on since the time of Isaac and Ismael.
The first major world war was begun when the followers of Islam [Muhammad's belief] went from what is now Iraq, east through the known civilized world destroying all unbelievers to India. That war halted when they had gone half through India. Today, we are experiencing the second act of that war. The nation of Islam believe they are the chosen and it's their mission to convert the world to Islam or destroy any and all who do not conform.
It is plain and simple. A lot of twists and turns have been are now involved. The Arabs are now in determined to prevent Israel from claiming the promise of the blessing of Jehovah God. The nation of Islam will do anything to protect their God Alla's promise to them. It is difficult in our western culture to understand such a hate as it is difficult for the western person to understand the Hebrew & Christian bible. Join a study group of the Holy Bible. I also suggest reading the Koran. Never forget, this conflict is one that is spreading to the whole world. The hate if for anyone who is not of the Islamic faith.
Be careful out there,

The history and details of the Arab-Israeli conflict is very lengthy. I recommend you read the book below. It is the best book I have ever read on the subject.

You're kidding, right? You want someone to give you the details of a 4,000 year old conflict in 300 words? It's about who's version of the fairy tale is right.

You can argue politics, religion and social reasons all you want...it boils down to land.
