Because Israel is an occupied land, stolen from the Palestinians. The UK gave Israel to the Jewish people, like it was theirs to give away.
It is the root to most of the wars these days.
I am not anti Semitic, but the land belongs to Palestine.

The short version is that the fighting in modern times is because Israel as it exists today is on land taken from the Palestinians. The back story is complicated and really simple all at the same time. Jews and Christians believe in the same one god, but Jews believe when Jesus returns it will the first time, whereas Christians believe it will be the second. Muslims believe in one god too, but they believe Jewish and Christian teachings are wrong. Jews and Christians are allied against Muslims in this feud. Israel (not the country proper, but the actual land itself) is the Holy Land for all of them, hence the fighting. You would really have to read (in full) the Bible, the Torah, and the Koran to get a serious understanding of how it all began.
You don't have to a believer in any of it, but understand that those who are fighting do and that's what it's been about for thousands of years.

The Jewish race being hated in the Arab world is a fallacy, up until the UN's creation of Israel, Jews mostly had lived quite peacefully along with their Arab neighbours in many nations in the Middle East. It was the creation of the state of Isreal by UN resolution in 1948 and the subsequent conflict with its ethnic clensing by both sides which generated the hatred that has existed since. The fact that since 1967 Israel has occupied Gaza and the West Bank, then subsequently invaded the Lebenon 1982 has continued the hatred to this day.
Personally I can only now see a solution to this if Israel gives back all the Arab lands that it currently occupies the West Bank, Gaza, the Lebonese border, the Golan Heights, the Shabbah farms etc and returns to its 1948 borders. In return there needs to be a cast iron guarentee that Arab nations will respect Israels ''right to exist' within its 1948 borders. One would hope in addition that Israel and its neighbours would forge economic links and in the longer term still that Israel would trust its neighbours and disarm its nuclear weapons.
Thats my personal hope, but the reality is that Israels possible demise will come via its own success in being one of the Middle Easts few democracies, since its Arab voting population is increasing as a percentage of its population year on year as a result of higher birthrates and emigration by Israeli Jews. This factor has only been arrested by large influxes of Russian and Eastern European Jews since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Two final points, I have nothing against Arabs, Jews or any other race on our planet. I dont agree with 'promised lands' as handed down by the gods, but the state of Israel was created 13 years before I was even born and you cannot turn back the clock now. I just hope that any future UN nation building is done with a little more forethought to the possible long term consequencies.
EDIT: Lil Souther Girl - Er am I wrong in understanding that Jews, Christians and Muslims are all Abrahamic religions, but they differ in terms of the believing which of the prophets or messengers of their god was the most important ?... hardly something to kill each other for ? (the reality is that wars are only ever fought for resources, not for gods or their messengers)

Good question my Friend: Let's look at this problem which is the root of all turmoils in M.E, from the other side,
We all know that this beautiful country of ours, belonged to it's native people or Indians. It was taken by force. and today it's called United States Of America.
Now suppose that Russia, china, North Korea And some others, gather all Indians from all over the world, and set up an Indians re-union day with us, and bring all of them here as Guest. However by some pre-planned surprise military action they succeed to take over our nation. When we ask why they say this was originally their land and it was promised to them few thousands years ago. They completely disarm and then move all of us to some refugee camp.
Then they start systematically killing and torturing us. We have no weapons to fight back. Some neighboring Countries try to help us defeat this new GOV. But they fail because China and Russia back this new GOV. Just imagine for 1 minute your life your family in such horrible salve like living, if you can call it that. Then you lose many of your loved ones, and it gets to a point you rather die to live like that. What would you do? What are you willing to do for your land an your freedom?
what will you do? what will you do?
My best Regards.
BTW: I got nothing against good people of Israel, all the power to them and they also deserve to have a country of their own and live free and happy. And Native American
I am captivated by culture, logic and ART. I collect Indian ART.
And i love them.

The Jews are the chosen people of God, so a lot of it has to do with jealousy believe it or not. No, I am not a Jew. Jesus Christ was a Jew though and a lot of people don't even realize that. That's my theory.

It was stolen by the British because the Americans turned away the Jews fleeing WWII and the Nazis. It was then occupied by those Jews who ran the Palestinians out of it.
