Wow, King George VI was God?! Why didn't anyone tell me?
England gave part of Palestine to Jewish refugees that wanted to leave Europe after the holocaust. They got a lot land grabby and literally ejected Jew and Palestinian alike from their homes, taking over homes that their families held for centuries.
The rest is history.
Not that they ever really got along, all the way back to Ishmael and Isaac, being half-brothers. One of the few things Jews and Arabs agree upon, that small bit of shared heritage.
Grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, learned a lot. Mystified them though, I was the only kid that they knew that loved eating the maror and horseradish, two favorites to this very day, probably some nutritional thing my body really wants, I'll crave those on occasion, mussels I did figure out was a zinc and selenium deficiency that crops up from time to time.
Learned even more from Arabs on their subcontinent.
And just the respect of learning about someone frequently can incline them toward friendship.
