Answer 1

the Palestine wanted the land for themselves.

Answer 2

The Palestinians (if that term can be applied anachronistically and retroactively) had the radical notion that even though the majority landholders in the the British Mandate of Palestine were the Ottoman Nobility and the British government, that they should have a stake, and an important one at that, for determining their own destiny and future. The massive influx of European Jews to the region threatened to (and eventually did) upset the demographic balance between Palestinians and Jews, leading to Jews being a significant portion of the country's population. Palestinians wanted the same thing that the Syrians, Lebanese, and Jordanians wanted, which was one, undivided state to govern themselves as they saw fit. The massive Jewish Immigration was an attempt to create a very different state in all or part of that territory and that was not something that the Palestinians were interested in endorsing.

Are there any Palestinian Resistance movements within Israel?

Of course! There are signs of Palestinian resistance everywhere within Israel proper and the Palestinian Territories. Many Arab Israeli citizens identify as Palestinian and with the Palestinian cause, although they do not necessarily want to move to the West Bank. The whole concept of the "right of return" is demonstrative of the Palestinian desire for autonomy and equality within Israel proper. There are also a number of organizations and groups run by Jewish Israelis such as Rabbis for Human Rights and Peace Now, which support Palestinian people within Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Resistance can be defined in many ways and take many forms, which do not necessarily need to be associated with political parties.

What happened to Palestinian Arabs as Jewish settlers were allowed to build houses in the occupied territories?

It depends on the particular settlement being discussed. In a number of settlements, especially those in and around the cities of Jerusalem and Hebron, Palestinian Arabs were displaced from their original areas of residence. In other settlements, such as Ariel and Ma'ale Adumim, Jewish Settlers built in areas of the West Bank where the land was relatively unused. This resulted in no Palestinians being evicted, but increased tensions between the Jewish Settlers and the Palestinians in neighboring villages.

How did Israel's creation plant the seeds of conflict?

The creation of Israel in 1948 led to significant tensions as it involved the displacement of a large number of Palestinian Arabs, who felt their rights and claims to the land were disregarded. The subsequent Arab-Israeli War and the establishment of Israel as a Jewish state heightened hostilities, as neighboring Arab nations opposed its legitimacy. This conflict over land, national identity, and political sovereignty has continued to fuel grievances and violence, sowing the seeds for ongoing strife in the region. The unresolved status of Palestinian refugees and competing national narratives have perpetuated the cycle of conflict.

Yasser Arafat led the Palestinian Liberation Organization from 1969 until his death in 2006. However, there were a number of other Palestinian leaders in various different Palestinian militant and civilian organizations that did not necessarily report to Arafat, so he is not the leader of the entire Palestinian Liberation Movement.
