Actually prior to their 1948 War of Independence the Palestinians and Jews lived in peace side by side.

It wasn't the Palestinians and the Israeli's that declared war on each other, it was the other Arab nations. They declared war on Israel and then commanded the Palestinians to leave or else be fought as enemies along with Israel. They were promised their land back after the Arabs won this easy war.

Only it didn't work out for them quite like that, they had their asses kicked and then the Palestinians were homeless.

At the same time, and seemingly missed by most, the Arab world expelled 800,000 Arab Jews from Syria, Iran, Jordan etc and stole all of their homes, land and possession.s

These 800,000 homeless made their way to the fledging Israeli nation who welcomed them like brothers, took them in, gave them full citizenship, and amazingly didn't ask the rest of the world for a penny in aid to do so. They just absorbed the burden of them into their nation without complaint.

Meanwhile the Arabs did fuck all for the Palestinians but preferred to keep them in refugee camps as their propaganda tool against the Jews.

This is a great read here. http://97.74.65.51/media/pdf/BigLies.pdf
I'm not trying to be a dick, but that is totally untrue. There were frequently clashes between the two groups from pretty much the beginning of the Mandate.
