The UN gave displaced Jews after WWII a country on the mediterrainian sea, which happened to be where Palestine was. The Palestinians mostly moved into Jordan. However, the Israelis didn't think that the UN gave them enough land, so they started occupying the land around them. The only such occupation still being actively fought is the incursion into the Jordanian west bank, where the Palestinians settled after Israel's formation.
At least that's my understanding of it...
