Question

Why did the arabs oppose jewish settlement?

Answer 1

Because jews don't belong there. They don't belong in Europe either. They got land in russia, a huge republic given to them, but they didn't want it. So Britain decides to solve the problem in Europe and send them to the Middle East, so they could fight with the Muslims, and Muslims don't tolerate jews, same as jews don't tolerate Muslims. At least it isn't Europe's problem anymore, Britain basically did Hitler's job of getting rid of jews, except not nearly all of them, but many are gone from Europe for good.

Answer 2

Because they were not consulted for one thing. How would you feel if you were told that hundreds of people would be moving into your neighborhood and you were expected to accomodat them. Add to that the religious intolerance on both sides and you quickly get a huge ball of tension.

Answer 3

They were 'ethnically cleansed' out of their villages and towns.  (still going on).

Answer 4

One reason there are 3 holy sites in the Islamic Religion, and one is in Jerusalem. This is a killer blow to them. Another is in the Koran it states that non-Muslims can't settle in Islamic lands and Israel is darn smack right in the Middle East. So it violates two principal rules and this upsets them medley.

Answer 5

The Arab Palestinians lived their for hundreds of years. The Jews were given the land from Britain who ruled the colony, but the Arabs have lived their the entire time. So image a group of people telling you to leave your home so that they can move in. That is the problem with the Jews settling Israel.

Answer 6

They were being settled on land belonging to Palestinian families for hundreds of years. The Palestinians were an industrious group of Arabs that had often led the economic revivals while the area was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. They are Muslims and Christians but it isn't easy to find many that refer to themselves as "Arabs".

As a Palestinian  leader remarked after the holocaust, The German people committed a grave evil upon the Jews. Why not give them Bavaria?
