The Arab-Israeli conflict hasn't been going for thousands of years. It's being going on for less than a century.
Fun fact that many people don't know: Romans didn't allow Jews to return back to Jerusalem. They were only able to return after Islamic conquest.
The amount of times I heard that lie in church growing up
Fun more details about your fun fact: yes because Jewish rebels wanting to recreate an ancient Israeli state in that Roman area started a massive genocide of Romans and greeks during the Roman-Jewish wars and the Romans ended it, leveled the jewish temple in Jerusalem, and banished the jewish people from the region. I'd say banishing is a lot nicer than murdering. Kind of sounds similar to whats going on now eh?
The murder was so severe that some Roman areas had to be resettled with settlers from Rome. Everyone on both sides was dead.
and agreed, on what you said about the murder having not been going on for thousands of years. The Ottoman empire ruled the area for the 800 years leading up until the end of WW1 and they successfully administered Jews living side by side with Muslims and everyone prospered. Anyone claiming they there has been thousands of years of conflict doesnt know history or is lying to create some nonsense narrative of pure BS.
A little more than a century, but close enough. Definitely not thousands of years.
