So here’s what I (think I) know. Proper historians please correct me.
Modern history saw Palestine mainly populated by Christians and Muslims till late 1800s, when a rise in Zionism led to increased migration into Palestine. This kept increasing and really accelerated from Germany in mid 1930s (strange huh.)
When Israel officially got its title as a nation given to them by the UN in 1947, the Arab nations all voted against as they felt the share of Palestine left to be called Palestine was not enough.
Conflict has been escalating since. But I feel this is the basis for the conflict as it is today.

Not only did they vote against it, they invaded Israel (already in civil war) and fought a bloody war until 1949. To their demise, the result of that war was that Israel won against the combined Arab League, even captured much of the Palestine territory and kept it.
