There are two ways to read this question: 1) What are the historical circumstances that lead to this conflict? 2) Why are people attempting to resolve these differences with bloodshed?

1) The historical circumstances are very long and complex. The simple version is that Jews were attempting to return to a land (the British Mandate of Palestine) from which they had been exiled 2000 years earlier. In the interim, Arab Palestinians had settled the land. The return of these Jews and their intent to create a Jewish State angered the Arab residents. As a result, there was a conflict of interest: two different groups both wanting to build a nation on the same territory.

2) The Jews believe in their Right to a State with such tenaciousness (like most other peoples) that they will defend it to the death. The Arabs are unwilling to concede the viability of such a Jewish State and how it has dispossessed the Palestinian population and therefore fight to death to reclaim it.
