This is simply untrue, a distorted representation of a large subject. Think about this if you can think:Under Islamic law everyone who isn't Muslim is a second class citizen who can be oppressed and persecuted, so of course they resent the state of Israel.
" From the early years of Islamic civilization, Muslim jurists, basing on Qur’anic directives, devised an elaborate hierarchy in which monotheistic non-Muslims, such as Christians and Jews, would be “protected” at a low level and tolerated as second-class citizens.

The Zionists settled there because it was not dangerous, it only became dangerous when the Arabs began to resist the growth of the colonial Jewish state, that is to say it is the Israelis who have made it dangerous.
