Or just pissed off the found a tiny patch to flock to and were hugely successful

  1. That land was given to them. By people who didn't even own it in the first place. Many of the conflicts in the Middle East over the last 90 years are because the Allies drew borders up in a region they knew nothing about, with no consideration for ethical and cultural divides. The area was already unstable due to the recent collapse of the Ottoman Empire, but the US, UK, France, et. all taking their crayons to the map sure as fuck didn't help things.

  2. They were hugely successful because of the $100,000,000,000+ the United States has given to them since 1962. The $8,500,000 the US sends to Israel's armed forces every single day also helps, as does selling them cutting edge military equipment below cost while everybody else in the region is using Soviet-era armaments.

rather than just get genocided?

Again, the Jews live on less total area WITHIN the Middle East than they did 60 or more years ago, and that's STILL too much land for Jews in the Middle East for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_and_Muslim_countries

It's also the most progressive country in the Middle East, with many Arabs and Muslims living as Israeli citizens within Israel, and they have the same rights to free schooling and health care as Israelis with Jewish heritage.
