Uninformed people assume after WWII you all of a sudden have jews there in "Palestine". Fact of the matter was the Zionist movement started in the latter half of the 19th century, further more there were always Jews living there. Palestine never was an Arab-State unto itself... (there is no Palestinian culture or language), obviously it is their home and they've always been there, but basically the place used to be part of Syria/Jordan (Thanks Britain for the mess). As far as "who started the conflict" if you want to start with who threw the first punch then it was the Palestinians, after the UN made the State of Israel in 48'.
