What were the common ideas that most Arabs shared after the creation of the Jewish state israel?

Answer 1

Arabs, who form the majority of the Middle East were initially unhappy with the State of Israel because they believed that the land that had physically belonged to fellow Arabs' parents and grandparents should have remained in Arab hands as inheritance. In their minds, it did not make sense that a group of German, Polish, French, English, and Russian speaking people should claim land that their ancestors had not even visited for centuries. Even by the time of Israel's Declaration of Statehood, less than half of the land within the UN proscribed borders of Resolution 181 was owned by Jews. Therefore, the idea of Jewish State being even more physically expansive than the land already taken was alarming. This is why the Arabs urged their states to take military action against the Jewish State.

During the Jewish-Arab engagement (the term is nebulous because it was a conflict fought by militias as opposed to proper armies) of 1947-1949, both Arab and Jewish soldiers committed acts against civilians and tried to assist in the removal of the "undesirable party". This resulted in numerous Palestinian towns being attacked, rapes occurring, and murders on numerous occasions. Fear of further attacks and incitement by Arab Mullahs drove many Palestinians away from their homes. After the conflict, Israel, in order to maintain its Jewish character, has not permitted any Palestinian refugee to reclaim land inside of Israel. Arabs are very angry both at the Jewish malfeasance during the Jewish-Arab engagement and the continuing lack of the Palestinian Right to Return.
