Answer 2
Israel has engaged in a number of policies in violation of international law. Israel is not reticent for performing such acts and claims that it violates those laws because they are prejudicial to its rights and interests. If other countries did the same, (Iran is a great example), they are sternly reprimanded by the international community and forced to toe the line. As concerns Jews that hate Israel, there are various theological reasons to be Anti-Zionist which stem from the "Purpose of the Jew in the World" and the "Nature of the Exile".

Why did the Israelites revolt in 992 BC splitting Israel in two?
Could be two reasons
One being that the people of Israel sinned against God and even Solomon became the idolator. Second being that, it is God's eternal plan to bring Messiah to the world through the blood line as well as kingly title line of tribe of Jude and in the descendent of David. Hence, God needed to protect the people Jude and the line of David. If God destroys whole Israel because of their rebellion and sin, this may interrupt the plan of God. Thus, God separated the 10 tribes and kept two other separately. Later the name Israel has gone almost and replaced as Jews. God protected Jews who are mainly tribe of Jude and David's line the Jesus was born among Jews.
Why were Palestinians against the establishment of Israel?
Answer 1
The Palestinian Arabs were greatly saddened by the creation of the State of Israel because they believed that the land that had physically belonged to their parents and grandparents 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 being even more physically expansive than the land already taken was alarming.
Answer 2
The entire idea of Israel is a modern colony in the Middle East. Prior to 1900, less than 10% of the population of what would become Mandatory Palestine was Jewish and the Fellahin or Settled Arabs were the majority. There were also a large percentage of Turks, Circassians, Bedouin, and Druze, but the Settled Arabs were still the majority. Zionist Jews or those Jews who desired to create a Jewish State cleverly manipulated the Great Powers, especially the United Kingdom into giving them the right to immigrate to Mandatory Palestine in large numbers without consulting the rights of the Fellahin. Additionally, Zionist Jews purchased large swaths of land from Turkish nobility without consulting the Fellahin who lived on that land for centuries but did not properly own it. As a result, numerous Fellahin were forced off of their land during the Yishuv period, Yishuv being the word for a Zionist Jewish settlement in Mandatory Palestine. The Jewish population in Palestine continued to rise until 1939 when the Fellahin successfully petitioned the British government to close off Jewish immigration.
However, the Jewish minority had grown sufficiently large in Mandatory Palestine that this combined with the Holocaust was able to earn international sympathy for the Zionist cause of establishing a State for the Jews in a land where the Jewish population had literally "just" shown up. Compare this to Rhodesia which was a state that declared independence to be ruled by the White Settlers of Rhodesia in 1960 that had been on that land. Rhodesia was so vilified in the international community that in only 20 years, it reverted to become the African nation of Zimbabwe. However, in that case, the White Settlers had come to Rhodesia as early as 1860, which makes them far more "local" than the Zionist Jews in Palestine in 1948 (most of whom were in the country for less than 30 years). The attempt by the Yishuv to form a state could not be tolerated and the Arabs formed militias to prevent the Yishuv from asserting control over land that had been historically settled by the Arab people. As a result, war broke out between the Zionist Haganah, Palmach, Irgun, and Lehi militias and the Fellahin, represented by the Holy War Army and the Arab Liberation Army. The neighboring Arab countries joined in when the Yishuv declared independence to help to the Arab militias.

What was the result for Israel of the war with Egypt?
Israel had four wars with Egypt:
in 1948 Egypt together with Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq attacked Israel just four hours after Israel proclaimed itself a State. This war got the name of the War of Independence. Israel won the war.
In 1956 Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal and closed the Straits of Tiran for any ships under Israeli flag, in clear violation of the International Maritime Law Israel together with Great Britain and France struck Egypt, pushed Egyptian forces 30 km from the Suez Canal and opened the Straits of Tiran. Under the pressure of the USA, great Britain, france and Israel had to withdraw, but the Straight of Tiran by the terms of the Armistice remained open for Israeli ships.
For Israel, the outcome was victorious.
In 1967, Egypt together with Syria and Jordan concentrated 300,000 strong army on the border with Israel and declared that it was going to attack it in order to end with Jewish presence in Palestine. In the pre-emptive strike, Israel annihilated all Egyptian aircraft on the airfields, and in the fast ground operation totally defeated Egypt. After that Israel regrouped troops and dealt two swift strikes on Syria and Jordan. The name of the war is Six Days war. it was a brilliant victory of Israel
In 1973, Egypt attacked Israel again. This war called Yom Kippur war was the most difficult for Israel but finally it "pocketed" the Egyptian Third Army and Israeli tank columns moved on the Egyptian capital Cairo without any Egyptian troops before them. Due to the pressure of the USA, Israel stopped the offensive on Cairo and the Armistice was signed between Israel and Egypt when Israeli tanks were 100 km from it.
What ethnicity are most Israelis?
Israelis are from a variety of different places around the world, similar to Americans. There is also a lot intermarriage between Jews from different areas, which makes the demographics difficult to hash out. However, the most common ethnicities in Israel are listed below:
1) Endemically Palestinian: The largest ethnicity of Israeli citizens (approximately 1.7 million Israelis) are those who can trace their ancestry to the territory of the former Mandate of Palestine while it was still under Ottoman occupation. The majority of these citizens are non-Jewish and are identified as Israeli Arabs.
2) Russian: After the Russian mass immigration to Israel in the early 1990s, Russians make up the largest Jewish ethnicity (at approximately 1.4 million Israelis).
3) Moroccan: Due to the large Moroccan Jewish immigration in the early 1950s and continuing trickle into the 1970s, the Moroccan Jewish community in Israel is still very large (at approximately 1.2 million Israelis).
The remainder of Israelis hail mostly from Europe, North America, the Arab World, and small minorities from Africa, South America, and East Asia.
