What are sources of conflict between the PLO and the Zionists?
The sources of conflict between the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization which has now been subsumed into the official State of Palestine government, and the Zionists, which have now been subsumed into the State of Israel and its general supporters, are no different than those between the Israelis and Palestinians as general groups.
As a result, it makes more sense to read the Related Question which discusses the causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

Answer 2
At the moment, the greater impediment to a free Palestine is not Israel, but an ineffective Palestinian leadership. When Salam Fayyad was Prime Minister, the West Bank was making impressive strides towards organization and development. Since his departure and the integration of Hamas back into a Palestinian unity government, crime has increased and Palestinians are subject to more internecine violence. If the government were more similar to Tunisia, Palestine may well have already achieved independence.
Answer 3
For all who love Palestine, the more urgent question is: How to save her from the Palestinians.
Answer 4
Over the last 24 hours, more than one hundred Palestinian-made missiles have been fired from Gaza into Israeli civilianareas. In order to hinder Israeli attempts to silence the Palestinian rocket-launchers, Hamas has surrounded them with Palestinian women and children as a human shield (Reuters news, July 8, 2014), since they know that Israel tries to avoid hitting civilians even collaterally. When the Palestinian militants decide to respect the lives of civilians, perhaps they'll also agree to meaningful negotiations.

What was the name Israel mean?
Israel is a combination of two Hebrew morphemes: "ysr" and "el".
"El" means god, and when added to "ysr" it translates as: "of god". However, "ysr" can have many meanings and below are some of them.
1) It might come from the root S.R.R. So this may mean "rule", "prince", thus the whole name means "he who rules with god" ("thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed", Genesis 32:28 KJV).
2) It might come from the same root (S.R.R) in the meaning of "strive" or "struggle", thus it all means "he who struggles god", referring to the event in which his name was changed.
3) It might come from the root Y.SH.R, means "straight", "honest" or "righteous man", thus the name means "honest man of god", or something like that.

How has Arab rejection of the state of Israel led to ongoing conflict?
The Arab rejection of the State of Israel is one of the central reasons for the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The rationale is rather straightforward. Since the Arabs refused to recognize the validity of the state, they promote strongly worded rhetoric opposing it. This motivates citizens of Arab countries to have nothing but hate towards Israel and to be willing to fight to eradicate it. This strong will has led to actual wars against Israel and terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.

How long have the Arabs been fighting for?
Arabs did not have written records prior to the 7th Century CE, but we know from both Arab sources from after that point and from non-Arab sources both prior and post that they were fighting prior to this point as well. The Bedouin Tribes of Arabia fought for centuries. It can easily been presumed that Arabs have fought one another and non-Arab adversaries for at least 2300 years. Prior to the point, there are no mentions of Arabs in foreign written materials and as the Arabs have no written materials from that time, we have no knowledge of whether or not people prior to that point in time would have been Arabs anyway.
