Israel received support from France and the United Kingdom before receiving support from the United States. The Arab Nations were primarily supported by the Soviet Union. The Western Powers and the Soviets used the Israeli-Arab Conflict as a place where they could test their weaponry and have proxy wars.

The conflict in Israel today is between which two religious groups?

It depends which "Conflict in Israel" the question is asking about. If it is asking about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the conflict is, strictly speaking, between Israelis and Palestinians which are national groups, not religious groups. However, the majority of Israelis are Jewish and the majority of Palestinians are Muslim. (However, there are numerous Muslim Israelis, Druze Israelis, and there are both Christian Israelis and Christian Palestinians.) If it is asking about Israel's internal political conflicts, they are often between Secular Jews and Religious Jews.

What is the Advantages and disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel?

The advantages of the creation of the state of Israel are first, that there is a country to which Jews may flee when they are victims of anti-Semitism, and second, that Jews who live in Israel will be satisfied that they are fulfilling a religious obligation to live in the specific land that was given to the Jews by God (according to the Torah). The disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel are that this has created a conflict between the Israeli Jews and the Muslims in the middle east, who believe that Israel, formerly known as Palestine, was stolen from them by the Jews, and that Muslims are the ones who are religiously obligated to live there, not the Jews; in addition, the Arab-Israeli conflict has damaged relations between all the nations allied to Israel and all the nations seeking to destroy Israel, and this hostility is a fundamental source of international terrorism and the various wars that have resulted from that terrorism.
