Quite simply, Arabs in Mandatory Palestine wanted to maintain the status quo, where they were the numerically and politically dominant group in the area. The Immigration of Jews, primarily from Europe threatened to change this balance of power. Add to this the fact that these Jews had a specific agenda of creating a state specifically for their national interest. It was a long-term threat to the viability of a unified Levantine Arab region.

Who sided with the Palestinians in trying to keep the Jewish people out?

Historically, various Arab nations and groups have sided with the Palestinians in efforts to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.

Countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq played significant roles in opposing Jewish immigration and the establishment of Israel. Additionally, organizations like the Arab League were formed to support the Palestinian cause and resist the creation of Israel.
