I don't think Arabs believe that Jews have no business in the region, but rather having their own independent state on land that used to be majority Arab. Also to many Arabs Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity and therefore does not deserve it's own independent nation. It has nothing to do with pre-WW2 Germany style antisemitism. Jews lived fairly peacefully amongst Muslims and Christians for centuries before the creation of the State of Israel. There are still many Jewish communities living in North Africa and the Middle East at relative peace with their Muslim and Christian neighbours.
