The conflict between Arabs and Jews goes back to the birth of Isaac, the son of covenant, and Ishmael, who God said would be "A wild man whose hand shall be against every man and every man's hand against him." (Genesis 16:12)
The descendants of Isaac and Ishmael wage war over the land God promised to Abraham. "There is no solution" wrote Israeli hero David Ben-Gurion. We want the country to be ours. They want the country to be theirs."
That about says it all.
