Put yourself in the shoes of the Palestineans: they were promised their own nation while under British rule following the downfall of the Ottoman Empire.
Jewish persons from the US and Europe following the political movement of Zionism began immigrating to Palestine (a process stepped up and supported by European governments after Hitler's genocide against the Jews) and in 1947 declared themselves to be a nation.

If your homeland was suddenly declared to be the homeland of foreigners- would you not hold resentment and declare war until they leave?
