The Israelis never "got Palestinian lines". Up until 1988, the word Palestine referred to a region of land in the Middle East, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. Since the early 20th century, Great Britain had referred to this region as Palestine.

Palestine contained a mix of Jewish and Arab populations. As such, to say that a "Palestinian nation" deserves their land back is patently ridiculous.

In 1967, Israel fought and won a war (also known as the Six-Day war) against Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. Some of the territory captured by Israel is being contested by the fictitious state of Palestine.

Are the Israelis and Palestinians fighting the Muslims?

No. Neither of them are fighting "the Muslims" as a group. Most Palestinians are Muslims anyway. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is between two national groups: Israelis who are primarily Jewish against Palestinians who are primarily Muslim. However, neither Israeli nor Palestinian forces have declared that they are fighting Islam. There are numerous mosques in both countries where Muslim worshipers freely pray to God.
