I think you may be confusing Arabs and Palestinians (who have a high Christian population) with Muslims.
The problem is extremely complex, but at the root of it is that two populations claim one land.
The Jews left Israel at the time of the Diaspora and the land was then settled peacefully by other races.
When the State of Israel was created (regrettably a British invention) no-one considered the Palestinians, they were left without a homeland.
They were not badly treated by the incoming Israelis, but the nature of the Jewish State where race and religion are fundamentally interconnected, mean that non-Jews were always going to get a bad deal.
The only support they have really had over the years has come from neighbouring states, hence the ever-present threat of invasion.
Israel, on the other hand, has had high-tech and high-value support from the West from day one.
Please don't misunderstand the tone of this answer.
I have been a frequent visitor to Israel and count people there as amongst my best friends.
I fully support the right of Israel to exist within secure borders, but as I said, it's complex - if there were a simple solution, someone would have taken it.
