Why do Arabs in the region not like Israel?

I don't know the exact reason. But my hunch would be something like if Utah seceded, and kicked out 80% of the non-Mormons from Utah, and declared Utah an independent nation which is the homeland for the Mormons allowing any Mormon on the planet to live there, but not allowing the 80% non-mormon former Utah residents to return. The remaining Americans wouldn't like this new Mormon country called Utah, and probably wouldn't like Mormons that much.

In addition, I don't think they like the idea of a Jewish nation ruling over Jerusalem, a historically international city.

And they've always disliked Israel, so its probably become part of their way of life. Sort of like the US has disliked the Cuban government for decades, thus we have this embargo. At this point my view is sort of like "what's the point, lift the embargo, lets make friends with Cuba", but things don't work that easily.

Until Islam decides to stop killing nonbelievers, nothing is going to get better. The world sees Muslims doing nothing about the Muslims on their Jihad, which is defined that a good offense is your best defense.

This is a separate issue. Objections to Islam don't need to result in preference of a Jewish nation over an nation open to all religions. You can hold all your objections to Islam and still think the peace plan I proposed is a good one. Pasreal is not Islamic - it is secular.
