Here is a pretty middle-of-the-road type of article that explains the creation of British Palestine, the Jewish migration and the Arab unrest:
"Writing in his History of Zionism, Nahum Sokalow looked in to the future:
'The Jews have grown tired of their roll as the homeless Chosen People and would prefer to be a self-supporting small nation with a quiet spot of earth for themselves...'. The spot for which the Jews had yearned proved to be about as quiet as a live volcano. Palestine was not empty [ground] waiting to be colonized. It was a [plot of land that was] 600 square miles larger than Vermont, and more than twice as populous. Its Arab inhabitants were as outraged by Zionism's 2,000-year-old historical claims as Spaniards would be if the Moors should flock back to Spain on the excuse that they had occupied it from 711 to 1492."
