Yes and No. The Druze and Bedouin Arabs welcomed the Jews into Palestine (the Bedouin more than the Druze initially) while the Palestinian Arabs (the majority) did not.
Druze and Bedouin Arabs did welcome the Jews into Mandatory Palestine. They developed mutual respect for each other. The Jews helped the Druze defend Nabi Shu'ayb, called the Tomb of Jethro, from Muslims who were intending to prevent the Druze from accessing their holy site. This act cemented the Jewish-Druze friendship. The Bedouins developed close relations to the Jewish Settlers since the Jews did not look down on them and offered them water and employment in agriculture. The friendship between the Jews and the Bedouins remains strong in Israel today.
The Palestinian Arabs were actually quite adamant about not giving the Jews any land or space as soon as it became clear in the late 1920s that the Jews intended and would soon realize their own state apparatus. They attacked the Jewish settlement in Hebron in 1929, scalping and beating many Jewish inhabitants. They organized militias to attack other Jewish settlements, they petitioned the British government to prevent Jewish Immigration (resulting in the White Papers of 1939 which banned Jewish immigration during the entire Holocaust when a place of refuge was most necessary), and consistently fought against Jewish Militias who were targeting the British colonizers instead of uniting to overthrow the British before trying to decide a resolution. The Palestinian Arabs did not support a two-state solution prior to 1967 and did not accede to the idea of a two-state solution until the Oslo Accords of 1993. Still to this day, the idea of a two-state solution (as a final solution) is relatively unpopular in Palestinian circles. The reason that Israel exists as a country is because of UN Resolution 181 and the Zionist Jews who used that resolution as the basis upon which to declare a country and defend it from military onslaught.
Arabs and Jews are in conflict over the territory of the former British Mandate of Palestine in the Middle East.
In 1948, Jews didn't have a country, so they invaded Palestine, killed many Palestinians, and forced many out. The Jews then changed the name of Palestine to Israel.
Palestine was divided into two countries because two religion had it Muslim Arabs and Jews in Europe that why they divide it.
The conflict and strife between Arabs and Jews is currently confined to Israel and Palestine as previous attacks against Jews elsewhere in the Arab World. Jews fled from Arab Nationalist leaders on account of pogroms and other attacks on the Jewish community while asserting that being Muslim was part of an Arab National Character. Concurrently, Jewish Nationalists were trying to create a state in what was the British Mandate of Palestine causing anger with the endemic Arabs who wanted control of the region and resented the immigration of many foreigners.
The United Nations After World War I, the League of Nations asked Great Britain to govern Palestine. (This land had been taken away from the Ottoman Empire partly because the Ottomans had been Germany's ally during World War I.) But the British had great difficulty ruling the land because Jews and Arabs in Palestine often quarreled with each other. After World War II, the quarrels between Palestinian Jews and Arabs became fierce battles. And to make matters worse for the British, Palestinian Jews and Arabs began to attack them as well. By 1947 the British had had enough. They asked the U.N. to take responsibility for Palestine and end the fighting between the Jews and Arabs.

It's the Arabian country that is named by all Arabs as Palestine,however it was occupied in 1948 by the Jews who named it Israel.
According to Jewish and Arab tradition, the Jews descend from Abraham following the line of his son Isaac and the Arabs descend from Abraham following the line of his son Ishmael. So it may be said that Jews and Arabs had a common beginning. In terms of what science can tell us, while Jews have a strong genetic relationship to Levantine Arabs (Arabs in Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria), they do not have a strong genetic relationship with Arabian Arabs (who were the original Arabs and live in the Arabian Peninsula).
