I've aways been facinated why people in the U.S. are surprised by the Arab world feeling the same.
MAybe it's the fact that Palestine wasn't a nation at the time and no one told the Palestinians they had to leave. The plan was to create 2 nations out of that area, one Jewish and one Palestinian Arab. The Palestinians turned theirs down, left the other nation, and hoped the Arab nations would wipe out the Jewish one. Since that didn't work out, now they're complaining about haveing land stolen that they left in the first place.
The entire areas has changed hands almost constantly throughout history. It's always had a great many Jews living there, and there was no particular reason it couldn't contain the Jewish state, except for the insistence of Palestinian Arabs that they had to have political control.
Eh, I think that's a rather simplistic explanation, seeing as how the Palestinian Arabs aren't welcome anywhere else in the region either.
