  1.  @siamangape8853  From the Palestinian's point of view, you shouldn't be occupying the land they had lived on for 1,000+ years. You can say "this is our homeland, we were here in ancient times!" But that's ridiculous- you can't make political claims from a religious book. Would you accept if Italy claimed Spain and Portugal? Or if Turkey claimed Mongolia? Stretching your claim back 2,000+ years makes no sense. That's why they don't see you as being native to their land. In terms of modern history, Israel successfully convinced England to let Jews migrate back there, but nobody asked the Arabs already living there if they wanted this, or if they could even hold 6 million more people on their land. In 1948, England drew borders for both the Jews and Palestine Arabs, but because the Jews arrived without considering the wishes of the Arabs, they never considered it legitimate. Imagine someone breaks into your house and barricades the kitchen. The police come and make you give away your kitchen, to make everyone happy. Is that okay to you? That's how Arabs in Palestine feel about you.

  2.  @siamangape8853  All of that being said, I still think the Jews deserve a homeland, and it should be somewhere in the Levant. It's just that the way they marched in without asking anyone if they could reach a compromise first, that I (and many people) have a issue with.
