It is worth noting that Israelis are not in conflict with Muslims or Islam, but in conflict with Palestinians and Arab States. The distinction comes from the fact that conflict is a nationalistic one and some Muslims even fight for Israel, most clearly the Bedouin Israelis. This a question over who should have political control of the land.

Another political bone of contention was the establishment of the State of Israel. The Arab-Israeli Wars, which are primarily a political confrontation, put Jews (who consider the State of Israel to be part of their ethnic identity) and Arab Nationalism (considered by most Muslims to be a political extension of Arab ethnic identity) against each other.

Muslim attacks against Zionism were and are still construed as attacks on Jewish identity and Jewish attacks against the Palestinian People and their rights were and are still construed as attacks against Muslims and Arab identities. Each attack (either verbal or physical) would inflame the other party to act more aggressively and to reach out less. As a result, there remain bitter tensions between the Jewish and Muslim communities because of these political struggles.

What are the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict on the Israel's relationships with other Muslim Countries?

There is presently no Israeli-Palestinian war. Similarly, there has been no relationship between Israel and Muslim countries for quite a while, except for Egypt and Jordan, which have executed peace treaties with the Jewish state. Israel has also maintained strong relationships with the Muslim-majority nations of Turkey and Iran for a long period of time. However, the Israeli-Iranian Alliance collapsed with the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The Turkish-Israeli Alliance was dealt a major blow by the Mavi Marmara Incident which is related to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
