What is important about the conflict between the Jews and Arabs?

Basically, the Jews believe that the piece of land that they currently occupy belong to them as it used to be Jerusalem, their holy land, thousands of years ago. However, present-day Israel was a result of Zionism, where bit by bit, Jews bought into Palestinian, Arab land, eventually buying enough to create their own Jewish state. However, the Arabs, especially the Palestinians refuse to acknowledge the existence of Israel, and the want to reclaim their land, hence the conflict.
All Zionist are Jews but not all Jews are Zionists. "Zionisms" is political, religious and culturally of which have in common the desire to see Jews settled in Palestine, the historical land of Israel. Religious Zionists feel that the gathering together of world Jews into Israel will fulfill biblical prophecy. Political Zionists want to build a state for the Jewish people. Cultural Zionists seek to gain Jewish identity and ways of life within "their" historic homeland. Jews who are not Zionists oppose the existence of the Jewish state for religious reasons. After all is was taken from the Palestinians due to belief the Jews were promised a Jewish state "Israel" from their Torah or the Old Testament for Christians. Since it is religious based, it needs to be neutral and not one or the other people and religions since it is a religious epicenter to three major religions. There should never be a Jewish state, Catholic State, Mormon state or anything religious. It should be enjoyed by all, not occupied by any single religious persons. Not everyone is Jewish or Christian or believes in God and no democracy should enforce religion as a state. The Zionist Jews do this and that is why Arabs, non-Zionist Jews and others feel it is occupied by the Jews when it was originally the Palestine. The governmental screw ups after WWI, especially England and France caused issues. Then after WWII, with help from the UN, world democracies agreed, all needed a political democracy in the Middle East for each "democracies" own benefits. Israel was born from the Zionist Jews who insisted on "their" religious homeland. So out with the Palestinies from their land and in with the Jews who claimed it was promised to them by God.
