It was due to Sarah.

God said to Abraham "Look now towards heaven and count the stars, if you are to number them, so shall your descendants be."

Only God took his time and Sarah (Abraham's wife) took Hagar her maid (an Egyptian) to her husband in order to obtain children by her. Hagar had a son named Ishmael when Abraham was 86 years old.

When Abraham was 100 years old, God kept his word. Sarah gave birth to Isaac. So she said to Abraham "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son."

And so it began. The Jews; the sons of Isaac. The Arabs; the sons of Ishmael.

Folks forget that when Abraham died at 175 years old, both sons came together to bury their father in the cave of Machpelah.

There was no conflict, no war between the Jews and the Germans. If anything, many Jews were inclined to be pro-German. There was a completely unprovoked onslaught by the Nazis against the Jews, mainly because the Nazis regarded Jews as Communists - and Nazism saw the eradication of Communism at its key 'mission'.

How do the Jews and Palestinians resolve their cultural conflict?

There is no cultural conflict between Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs (who are mostly ethnic-Palestinians) who live in Israel. There are religious and historical differences and certainly political disagreements, but there is no cultural conflict. The same could have been said of the Jewish communities in tolerant Muslim States, such as Umayyad Spain, Abbassid Baghdad, and Pahlavi Iran. This shows that the cultural conflict is not between Jews and Arabs (although Iran is not Arab) but between the types of government styles they wish to set up. The Jewish State is democratic and non-religious. Arab governments are by and large autocratic and partially theocratic (or based on religious values). The conflict between Arab States and Israel has not yet been resolved.


In what Middle Eastern region did Jews and Arabs experience considerable conflict as they tried to attain their nationalist goals?

The conflict and strife between Arabs and Jews is currently confined to Israel and Palestine as previous attacks against Jews elsewhere in the Arab World. Jews fled from Arab Nationalist leaders on account of pogroms and other attacks on the Jewish community while asserting that being Muslim was part of an Arab National Character. Concurrently, Jewish Nationalists were trying to create a state in what was the British Mandate of Palestine causing anger with the endemic Arabs who wanted control of the region and resented the immigration of many foreigners.
