Do all the Arab countries hate Israel?
Probably. They see what's happened to Iraq and what may be about to happen to Iran, and they're probably thinking, "we're next." There is a widespread (and not unfounded) perception in the Arab/Moslem world that Israel wants to conquer the Middle East and is getting the U.S. to do its dirty work (read
The Israel Lobby). In the words of Malayasian ex-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad: ". . . today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them."

Is Israel hated because they're seen to of "Stolen" the land that is rightfully Palastines?
To a large degree, yes.
From a letter to President Bush by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Najad:
QUOTE
Young people, university students and ordinary people have many questions about the phenomenon of Israel. I am sure you are familiar with some of them. Throughout history many countries have been occupied, but I think the establishment of a new country with a new people is a new phenomenon that is exclusive to our times. Students are saying that 60 years ago such a country did not exist. They show old documents and maps and try [but] we have not been able to find a country named Israel.
I tell them to study the history of WWI and II. One of my students told me that during WWII, which more than tens of millions of people perished in, news about the war, was quickly disseminated by the warring parties. Each touted their victories and the most recent battlefront defeat of the other party. After the war, they claimed that six million Jews had been killed. Six million people that were surely related to at least two million families. Again let us assume that these events are true. Does that logically translate into the establishment of the state of Israel in the Middle East or support for such a state? How can this phenomenon be rationalized or explained?
Mr. President, I am sure you know how -- and at what cost -- Israel was established:
* Many thousands were killed in the process;
* Millions of indigenous people were made refugees;
* Hundred of thousands of hectares of farmland, olive plantations, towns and villages were destroyed.
This tragedy is not exclusive to the time of establishment; unfortunately it has been ongoing for 60 years now.
A regime has been established which does not show mercy even to kids, destroys houses while the occupants are still in them, announces beforehand its list and plans to assassinate Palestinian figures and keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison. Such a phenomenon is unique -- or at the very least extremely rare -- in recent memory.

Last week the media bosses were kicking themselves because they had let the text of a statement Osama bin Laden had made be published in the United States. They said that they had made a mistake in putting this statement before the American public. They wouldn't publish any further Osama bin Laden statements, they said, because the statements might contain secret instructions for his operatives.
Everyone I've spoken with laughed at that excuse. In his last statement Osama bin Laden said that Americans would not be secure and would have no peace of mind as long as Palestinians were not secure in their own land.

Why do most muslims say that to clear evil of this world, would mean to kill every Jew?
I've never heard a Moslem say that.

And were the Palastinians kicked out of Israel? Forcefully? Or how did it all begin?
That's a complicated issue, and the answer you're likely to get depends on who you're talking to. You'll get very different responses to this question depending on whether you're talking to a Palestinian refugee or a Zionist Jew (and frankly, most Jews are Zionists, whether they advertise it or not, so the term "Zionist Jew" is a bit redundant; "Jew" would've sufficed, though some people have an irrational knee-jerk reaction to the term).
Here's an online book that will answer most of your questions:
The Founding Myths of Modern IsraelThe author of this book, Roger Garaudy, was taken to court for one of its chapters (the one dealing with the Holocaust). He was fined and ordered to remove the offending chapter from subsequent editions. So much for freedom of speech in France.
For the Zionist side of the story, look no further than the
Washington Post or the
New York Times, or the "Jewish Interest" section of your local chain bookstore.
