Why are Arab nations against Israel? You'd have to ask them, but it's sort of like having 1/4th of Los Angeles secede from the US and become a homeland for English speaking Latinos. The remaining US would be against it. I think in every case in history where one ethnic group inside of a multi-ethnic region tries to change the multi-ethinc region into one for itself, the excluded ethic groups are against it. Seems to be more complicated than just "the UN shouldn't have created Israel and Palestine". Not really.

Why are Arab nations against Israel? Then again, why are Arab nations against the Palestinians? Seems to be more complicated than just "the UN shouldn't have created Israel and Palestine". First, say it the way it actually happened. The US instructed the UN to create Israel and Palestine. Secondly, it may seem to be more complicated to you but it isn't. Now its true that the Arabs might still fight amongst themselves without Israel present but it would make it a lot easier for the US and the West to ignore them.
