That Arabs were more accepting of Jews prior to the influx and establishment of a state, which was largely forced on the Arab world, not something of their own choosing. I.e. Arab hatred for Jews is largely linked to land issues.

I wonder how many of them had problems with the British and French imposing states upon them ruled by rival tribal chieftains, or even foreign tribes (Hashemites in Jordan)??

I mean.. can you show me one Arab state that neighbors, or is in the vicinity of, Israel which previously existed prior to 1917?

And I know that the Copts of Egypt, or the Druze and Christians of Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, didn't really prefer to have the existing governments foisted upon them..

Thus, I still contend that the prevalent hostility of Arabs versus Israel is more a manifestation of the concerted effort of those Arab governments to deflect attention and internal dissent from their own illegitimacy, and focus it upon Israel.

Thus, it's MORE than merely land issues.
