From the Arab perspective, Israel is a modern colony in the Middle East that became as powerful as it did through land-grabs and violence. As a result, Arabs see the only way of dealing with Israel through violent means.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization believed that only Palestinian Arabs had the right to create a state in southwest Levant and saw the Jewish State of Israel as an imperialist European colony in the Middle East.
Israel was formed out the British Mandate for Palestine, which was effectively a colony run by the British Empire. Before that it was part of several Ottoman governates. There was no independent state in the Palestine region since the Crusader States in the 1200s.
The modern State of Israel came into existence in 1948. In 1940, the area where Israel predominantly sits (excluding the Golan Heights) was called the British Mandate of Palestine. The Mandate of Palestine was not a country, but a colony of the British Empire. What made a mandate different from a colony was that the British had an obligation to help the people living in the territory to form their own government and facilitate independence. In the specific case of the Mandate of Palestine, they were required to do this for the Jews and the Arabs together.
Israel was not invented. It is an alternate name for Jacob of the Old Testament. His descendants were called "the children of Israel." Israel was also the name of one of two ancient Jewish kingdoms, the other being Judah. The ancient Kingdom of Israel existed as an independent entity form about 1050 BC until about 930 BC. Because the ancient Kingdom of Judah lasted until the Babylonian conquest, and was afterward a province of Babylon, Macedon and then Rome under the names of Yehud or Judea, modern efforts to found a Jewish state preferred the name Israel. The modern State of Israel was founded in 1948.
