Why did the Arabs think Palestine belonged to them?

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.

Why are Palestinians and Jews fight?

2000 years ago, after the death of Jesus, the Romans kicked the Jews out of Israel/Palestine. This period of time is called the Diaspora. In 1948, after WWII, the United Nations said the Jews could return to Palestine/Israel and have their own nation. The problem is in 2000 years, a lot of Palestine people moved into the land formerly occupied by the Jews/Israelis. So, you have a group of people, the Jews, who want to return to the land they taken away from by force 2000 years ago. You also have a group of people, the Palestine, who have lived on the land for the last 2000 years. Considering how much land was taken away from one group or another in the past, it is very difficult to give back all the land on the planet to it's original inhabitants. For example. a great deal of land in the USA was taken away from the Native Americans. It's obvious that the Native Americans are not going to get most of the land that taken away from them by force.
