Palestinians believe that the land of palestine belongs to them because their ancestors lived in the area, building cities and cultivating the land for hundreds and hundreds of years. They believe that they own this land just as anyone else who buys something or builds something owns the fruit of their labor. Because most Arabs are not Jewish, they do not accept the promise from God to his 'chosen people' as a legitimate reason for their property to be taken away.
Jewish Immigration to Palestine increased significantly, causing Arabs to worry about losing their land.
(Arabs and Israelis)When in 1947 the U.N. called for the dividing of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, the Arabs refused to go along. They claimed that all of Palestine belonged to them. So when the Jews declared their part of Palestine to be the independent State of Israel, the Arabs declared war on Israel. Even though several Arab nations (including Jordan, Syria, and Egypt) attacked Israel, the Israelis were able to defend their land.
