Why did the creation of the state of Israel lead to a conflict in the middle east?

During WWII, Britain made two promises in its search for allies. One, it promised the Palestinians that if they joined them and overthrew the Ottoman Turks, they'd be given their own country. Two, Britain promised the Zionists that if they joined their cause, a Jewish homeland would be created for them.
After the war, Britain found itself between a rock and a hard place. To compromise, Britain partitioned the land. That is, they split the land in two and gave the western half to the Zionists and the eastern half to the Palestinians.
Needless to the say, this didn't fly well, and ever since, the Palestinians and the Israelis have been fighting for the land.

∙ 10y agoBecause so many of the neighbors got upset with the idea of so many Jews living
so close to them, and decided to take matters into their own hands and put the
uppity Jews back in their place. After 65 years, they're still working on it.

What is the Advantages and disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel?
The advantages of the creation of the state of Israel are first, that there is a country to which Jews may flee when they are victims of anti-Semitism, and second, that Jews who live in Israel will be satisfied that they are fulfilling a religious obligation to live in the specific land that was given to the Jews by God (according to the Torah). The disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel are that this has created a conflict between the Israeli Jews and the Muslims in the middle east, who believe that Israel, formerly known as Palestine, was stolen from them by the Jews, and that Muslims are the ones who are religiously obligated to live there, not the Jews; in addition, the Arab-Israeli conflict has damaged relations between all the nations allied to Israel and all the nations seeking to destroy Israel, and this hostility is a fundamental source of international terrorism and the various wars that have resulted from that terrorism.

The Arabs and the Palestinians.
How did Zionism create conflict in the Middle East?
Zionism is certainly one of the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. It is not the only cause of the conflict and is also not the most important cause of the conflict. Zionism is responsible for the existence of the State of Israel since Zionism was the Jewish Nationalist movement to establish a Jewish State in the Land of Israel. Without Israel, there would be no Arab-Israeli conflict. However, it is worth noting that while Zionism is a base cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict, numerous other far more lethal conflicts (like the Iran-Iraq War) have nothing to do with Israel.
