Not "only". It would be only if they were doing it out of a feeling of superiority alone, but it's a hyper-defense thing borne of being abused and expelled out of many countries over time and experiencing attacks in the Levant where Jews existed previously and where many were welcome. The thing is they came in buying land that people were at first willing to walk away from, but people wanted it back after they bought soil and cultivated it.

The issue that brought true conflict was that many more people showed up than anyone planned, reducing the Palestinian's influence on local decisions, making them another occupier, in practice. The British occupiers thought the area was sparsely populated and maybe a 10th of the people who showed up would come there.

Theodor Herzl, who wrote the dumb Zionist imperative book, gave everyone the notion that Jews would only be safe if they ruled their own place and it HAD to be in the Levant. Many Jews, regardless of location bought into this idea that they had to do whatever they could to control this place, and yeah, they didn't (though some seem to) care who they stepped over to get it. They became bad Jews, ironically. We're supposed to love all G-d's children. If Jews there treated Palestinians how they'd like to be treated, the situation would have no conflict at all and everyone would be safe. I hope this will eventually improve, but I can't see much good happening soon.
