Answer 1
Yes, because they had to lose land, and now they want to take over Israel.
Answer 2
Yes. However, there was also fighting in the Middle East long before Israel became a state. In fact, the roots of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict go back to the first settlements of Zionist Jews in Ottoman Palestine who were rejected and attacked by the Muslim Palestinians.
It is also worth noting that the Arab-Israeli Conflict, while garnering a lot of news, is nowhere near the biggest conflict in the Middle East. The Iran-Iraq War alone killed more people than have died in all of the Arab-Israeli Conflict Wars put together and more Syrians have died in this current Syrian Civil War than Palestinians have died in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Arab-Palestinian Conflict put together. Israel's existence did not create war in what had been a peaceful place, but just created some new wars where there were quite a number of extant conflicts already.
