"Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting each other since the Hebrews and the Philistines. David and Goliath 3,000 years ago."

Sorry but this is revisionist nonsense. Jews and Muslims coexisted in Palestine for centuries. It wasn't until the emergence of Zionism at the end of the 1800s and waves of European immigration into Palestine, British meddling via the Balfour declaration and Mandate and subsequent US financial and political support for Israel's ethnic cleansing, illegal settlements and brutal apartheid that this neverending catastrophe was created.

If you're interested in finding out more about this topic I recommend Rashid Khalidis book "the 100 year war on Palestine"

If you want to find out how European Zionists systematically drove out Palestinians from their homes and then re-wrote history to claim they never existed, I recommend Ilan Pappes book " The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine"
