Answer 1

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict has its origins in the confrontation between immigrant Zionist Jews in the Mandate of Palestine and their interaction with the indigenous Arabs in the 1920s and 1930s. Before that point, the Immigration into the land had been a small trickle and Arabs were not terribly concerned. However, the Jewish immigration in the 1920s was quite large and disruptive. By the mid 1930s, both sides had developed militias which they used both to attack British colonial institutions and each other. In 1947, as UN Resolution 181 was being debated, a full-scale war erupted between the Jewish militias and the Arab militias. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, the Arab States joined in the War which caused it to be internationally recognized and called the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9.

Therefore, if we use the terms Israeli and Palestinian retroactively to those people who would eventually identify or would be identified as Israelis or Palestinians, the conflict started during the 1920s. If we require that these terms be strictly applied, then the conflict started in 1948 when Israel declared its independence.

There are other issues that go back much further, but this is the trigger point for the current situation.
The founding of Israel in 1948 resulted in an immediate conflict.

Answer 3

Although no official "Palestinian Israeli war" exists, there have been tensions between the two groups ever since Israel was carved out of Palestinian territory in 1948 by the UN. Many Palestinians see this as a pseudo-colonial act while the UN would argue that it was necessary after the atrocities of the Holocaust.

However, there is such a thing as the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Please see the Related Question below to read more about when it started.

If you are using "Israeli-Palestinian War" to refer to the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, this war started in May 1948, as soon as Israel declared itself an independent state and was promptly invaded by 7 Arab Armies. The Israeli-Palestinian Engagement occurred even earlier in September of 1947.

Answer 5

Both the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Arab-Palestinian Conflict started roughly in 1947-1948 when the Jewish-Arab Engagement began in earnest in Mandatory Palestine. Palestinian Refugees fled to neighboring Arab countries where they and their descendants were imprisoned by the "fellow Arabs" charged with their protection.
