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) I am suspicious of people who claim the conflict between Arabs and Jews is biblical. It is not biblical; it dates back only to the Nineteenth Century, when Jews began moving to back Palestine and Arabs, who had never had much interest in the place, became jealous when someone else moved in and started fixing it up.
