the reason jews and arabs have trouble getting a long in the Middle East is that the arab extremists (and it is very important to point out that it is only the extremists) believe that they are the rightful owners of Israel. the problem is that Israel is a holy place for both sides and (to an extent) neither side will compromise on anything

The palestinians do not want any Jews in the land. They feel that all of the land belongs to them. Only a minority of them accept a 2 state solution. The Jews are willing to accept the 2 state solution if the Palestinians will recognize the Jews' right to be there. Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority refuse recognition.

A:There is no substantial record of Arabs fighting with the Jews in biblical times. The Bible records Jews at war with Canaan, Philistia, Assyria, Aram, Tyre, Midian, Moab, Edom and the Idumeans, none of whom were Arabs. The Bible even talks of fighting between the Israelites and the Jews. It talks of Jerusalem being conquered by the Babylonians, somewhat related to Arabs, but it would be misleading to call them Arabs. The Jews also overran Samaria and Galilee during the Maccabean era, but once again these were not Arabs. There is only a minor reference to 'Ishmaelites' joining a confederacy against Israel.

Palestinians are often termed 'Arabs', as they speak the Arabic language and have adopted Arabic culture - Maxine Rodinson (The Arabs) says that the modern definition of an Arab is simply one who identifies as an Arab. In recent centuries, even Jews living in Palestine and the neighbouring countires of the Middle East regarded themselves as Arabs and coexisted with their Christian and Muslim Arab neighbours. This changed with the establishment of Israel.

Modern Israelis and Palestinians fight over the right (or otherwise) of the Palestinians to independence from Israel, and they fight over land rights.

A:Psalms 83:7 apparently refers to an attack of Ishmaelites (with others) against the Israelites.

Interesting question.

One Jew may fight one Arab for any of a million reasons. One Jew may fight another Jew for any of a million reasons. The same can be said for one plus one Arab.

When groups, tribes and nations fight eachother the reasons are few. They are covetousness, hate and fear. The leaders of one group, tribe or nation want what the other has. One group, tribe or nation is afraid of the other. One group, tribe or nation is led by crazys who like to destroy. All these motives enter into the conflict you asked about.

The question is based on a false premise. When the Islamic forces first took Palestine from the Byzantine Empire, they allowed Jews to settle in Jerusalem for the first time in hundreds of years, and they generally treated Jews in the region better than Christians had. The Crusaders reversed this, and when Saladin retook Jerusalem from the Crusaders, he again admitted Jews. Under Ottoman rule, Jews continued to be alternately welcomed and tolerated until the 20th century. The Ottomans generally saw Jewish settlement as an economic opportunity to help develop a relatively backward part of their empire. This only changed in the early 20th century with the huge influx of Jewish settlers driven out of Russia and then Western Europe. The rise of Arab resentment of Jewish refugee resettlement parallels the rise of anti-immigrant sentement in the US and Western Europe in the early 21st century in response to the waves of refugees sweeping north out of troubled lands to the south.
