Why did Palestinians fear Jewish immigration?
Palestinians feared Jewish immigration because they (correctly) believed it to be the precursor to the establishment of an independent Jewish State. The Jews who settled in the British Mandate of Palestine made their intentions very clear. The Palestinians were afraid that a Jewish state would serve to antagonize them and make their lives worse.
Arab group that may be most opposed to a Jewish state in a mostly Arab region?
Palestinians
Who are Jewish settlers?
AnswerJewish settlers are Jewish people from different world countries who migrated to the Palestinian lands and settled there through installing settlements for their own residence on behalf of the Palestinians. They built settlements even in the West Bank that Israel promised to be given back to the Palestinians to establish their independent state.
Reason why Palestinians were against the creation of an israeli state?
what is the reason and country/origin of palestinians
Why were Palestinian Arabs opposed to the high number of Jewish immigrants?
Answer 1the Palestine wanted the land for themselves.Answer 2The Palestinians (if that term can be applied anachronistically and retroactively) had the radical notion that even though the majority landholders in the the British Mandate of Palestine were the Ottoman Nobility and the British government, that they should have a stake, and an important one at that, for determining their own destiny and future. The massive influx of European Jews to the region threatened to (and eventually did) upset the demographic balance between Palestinians and Jews, leading to Jews being a significant portion of the country's population. Palestinians wanted the same thing that the Syrians, Lebanese, and Jordanians wanted, which was one, undivided state to govern themselves as they saw fit. The massive Jewish immigration was an attempt to create a very different state in all or part of that territory and that was not something that the Palestinians were interested in endorsing.
The attempt to establish a Jewish state in Israel is known as?
Zionism, specifically Israeli-State Zionism (but as there are no current movements to create a Jewish State in Argentina, Uganda, or Madagascar, the term Zionism is now exclusively used for Israel).
What reasons do the palestinains have to be upset?
The British took a large part of their land and called it Israel for Jewish people to live in. The Palestinians didn't have any say, and the Jewish people hadn't lived there for a long time. This isn't a dating question :) Many Palestinians lost their homes and land when the state of Israel was formed. This is the main reason they are upset. There are several UN resolutions aimed at getting Israel to compensate the Palestinians, but so far they have not been enforced by the global community.

What was israels holy book?
The Holy Book of Judaism is the Tanakh. Israel is a nation without an official state religion. (While Israel is the Jewish State, it is only Jewish in the ethnic sense, not the religious sense.) Most Israelis are Jews, but there are Muslim, Christian, Druze, and Baha'i minorities who each have their own holy books.

What biblical area of the middle east were the Jews given to reestablish the country of Israel in 1947?
Through a Zionist campaign for an independent separate Jewish state, they got half of the territory of the ancient Palestine. The independent Jewish state was established by the United Nations in 1948, and this partition is still causing a lot of agressive wars between the Muslim Palestinians and the Jewish.
Where have Israelis been building settlements that angered many Palestinians?
The Settlements that are often discussed in the news are Jewish villages and neighborhoods built in the West Bank and formerly built in Gaza (the Israeli government forcibly removed the Gazan ones in 2005). These cause resentment among Palestinians specifically because they appear to be removing all of the land that Palestinians claim for their future state. A number of Palestinians are also angered by the natural growth of Jewish-majority Israeli cities because they see all of Israel as belonging to a future Palestinian state (not simply the West Bank and Gaza) and are angered by the growth in numbers of Jews.
