It depends on what particular parcels of land you are talking about. Even within former Mandatory Palestine, there are an incredible variety of different parcels of land with different amounts of "rights" and historical and legal claims for Israelis and Arabs. There are some areas, such as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip where the Arab claim, on legal grounds is much better than it is in Israel. Conversely, Israel has a stronger legal claim for those areas owned by the JNF than elsewhere within Israel and a better claim for Israel than the Palestinian Territories. How the claims of one party stack up against those of the other party is more opinion than legal certainty.
It created a Jewish state on land that most Arabs believed rightfully belonged to the Palestinians. It did not lead to ongoing tensions between the Arabs and Israelis. The tension had already been there. The creation of Israel gave the Arabs a political entity on which to focus there ambivalence.

No. Religion is a very small part of the war and is often used (incorrectly) to label Israelis and Arabs since most Israelis are Jewish and most Arabs are Muslim. However, there are many Muslim Israelis and Christian Arabs and Christian Israelis. For a discussion of the other numerous causes of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, see the Related Question.

The existence of Israel is antithetical to most Arabs who still consider that region to be Palestine and to be stolen from its native inhabitants. Therefore, anyone loyal to that state (i.e. Israelis) are seen violent usurpers who need to be put down. On the flip side, Israelis see the Arab request that they completely surrender to an Arab Authority ridiculous because they argue that they have a Right to a State and will actively stop anybody who demands their flight or capitulation.
20% of Israel citizens are Arabs . ============================= Another contributor added: As citizens, the rights and responsibilities of Israel's Arab citizens are the same as all other Israeli citizens, with one exception: Arab citizens of Israel are not required to do military service. Arab citizens of Israel have full voting rights, and have elected several Arabs to seats in the Knesset (Israel's parliament).
For the most part, Arab countries do not allow Arabs to enjoy their civil rights. Arab civil rights are much more manifest in Western countries.
Tomatoes and olives and salad are very plentiful in Israel. Israelis are also people who like to eat healthy foods. The Israelis have taken desert land and made it into farm land. Salad is just one of the staples of the Israeli diet.
The modern nation of Israel began in 1948. The United Nations divided Palestine into two parts.There was a Jewish section and a Palestinian section. Jewish people came to the new country and set up homes and farms. Ever since then, some Palestinians have fought against the Israelis to reclaim the land they feel the UN took from them. Israel also has Arab neighbors who oppose them. Most Israelis are Jewish and believe in Judasim. Most Arabs are Muslims who pratice Islam.
Most Israelis range from Russian to Arab coloration. There are some Black, Hispanic, and Chinese Israelis, but they are a minority.
Some Jewish Israelis give presents for Hanukkah. Most Israelis, though, reserve present-giving for a child's birthday.
