This is the right answer in shortest way:
The Jews used to own the land 3000 years ago. In 70 A.D the Romans took over and they went else where. Then 600 years later Arabs have been there and they have been there for a thousand year. WWII happens, Jews want land and since Palestine was owned by the British they gave them a bit in Palestine. They did like them there it was Zionist who wanted it for only Jews. In 1948 war broke out, Jews took over. And they have been fighting for 62 years and still going.

The Arabs who lived in Ramla and the rest Israel were before 48 were never called Palestinias what you are not writin the exact?
The original inhabitants of Palestine are the Arabs and they are called Palestinians. The illegal,racist and criminal entity so called Israel was established in 1948. Under the BRITISH mandate that land was called Palestine,and before that it was under the Ottoman empire known as PALESTINE. My family root is from RAMLEH, We call our self proudly as Palestinians and forever so.
What did the British and French promise to the Arabs if they joined the fight against the Ottoman Empire?
Britain did not promise the Arabs anything in 1914. From July 1915 to January 1916, the British wrote the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence which was a set of letters between the British High Commissioner in Egypt (Sir Henry McMahon) and the Sharif of Mecca (Hussein ibn Ali). In these letters, the British promised the Arabs a unitary Arab State in the Middle East that would cover most of the Middle East. However, some areas were excepted, mostly along the Syrian coast. It is unclear whether or not Mandatory Palestine was also excepted because the terms are ambiguous. Arabs argue that since Palestine is not mentioned explicitly as an exception (whereas specific Syrian cities are mentioned), Palestine was included. The British and the Jews aregue that the reservation was for areas west of Damascus and all of Palestine is west of Damascus.

How did the Arabs feel when the UK divided Palestine into two states?
The UK did divide Mandatory Palestine in 1922 between what is now Israel/Palestine and Jordan. The Arabs had no real reaction because Jordan was put under the control of the Hashemite Dynasty and the fate of the remainder of Palestine (now Israel/Palestine) was undetermined. The division you are likely asking about is the UN division of Mandatory Palestine between Jewish and Arab States in 1947. Arabs were livid that such a division took place, because they believed that the land should belong entirely to the Palestinian Arabs. In their view, these were the lands that had physically belonged to the Palestinian Arabs for as long as they could remember and should have been theirs for inheritance. In their minds, it did not make sense that a group of German, Polish, French, English, and Russian speaking people should claim land that their ancestors had not even visited for centuries. Even by the time of Israel's Declaration of Statehood, less than half of the land within the UN proscribed borders of Resolution 181 was owned by Jews. Therefore, the idea of Jewish State taking that land was anger-inducing.
When did the Arabs take over the land along the Mediterranean Sea known as Palestine?
Arabs first arrived in Palestine during Caliph Omar's invasion of the Levant in the 640s CE. Arabs were the dominant power in the region from then until the fall of the Abbassid Caliphate in the Levant in the 1100s.

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.
