The Arabs came to the middle east in 7th Century AD from what is now Saudi Arabia and took by force the entire Middle East and North Africa. The Jews, like my people the Assyrians, are native peoples who lost their land, and wanted it back. There are no such race of people as "Palestinians", the people now referred to as Palestinians are simply Arabs who settled in the area known as Palestine/Philistinia. The real palestinians are now extinct, they were settlers from the Agean Islands called the Peleset, who arrived in around 1000BC, (before arabs had even been mentioned in history!) the name gradually being changed to Philisinia, and then Palestine. Prior to Islam, Arabs were either non existent in most countries outside what is now Saudi Arabia(Iraq,Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Tunisia etc) or were non native immigrant minorities. Some people seem to be under the misaprehension that Arabs have lived in the above countries for thousands of years, which is utter rubbish.
