This isn't a religious confilct per se, although the Arabs are driven in part by Islamist ideas. It's a national conflict between Arabs and Jews. In particular it's about the Arabs trying to deny the Jews a country.

To that end, the Arabs don't want a secular democratic state. They want a state with an Arab majority. That is what the so called "Right of Return" is about
