Please provide references and evidence of conflict spanning back a thousand years. The conflict started after the Ottoman Empire collapsed and the region got divided up in a colonial experiment by the French and British.

believe it or not sometimes people do a little bit of hyperbole and exaggeration.

I would never do that, not in a million years. It’s literally impossible.

Huh? The conflict is at least as old as 1834 (Ottoman empire fell in 1922) and they’ve been trading blows since well before that.

Secretarian religious violence in Israel with proto Israeli terrorists involved. Notably the order issued to murder any Muslim found in Hebron. Many families were removed and would never return with proto Israeli Jews taking “abandoned” property and refusing to relinquish it to this day.

It’s a very very old territorial and secretarian conflict, trying to imply it’s summer limited modern engagement lacks nuance and is at best myopic.
