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.
true
Arabs and Jews are in conflict over the territory of the former British Mandate of Palestine in the Middle East.
This depends on who you ask, but the majority of both Jews and Arabs reject the assertion that their conflict is currently based on the rivalry between the siblings Isaac and Ishmael. To see the list of grievances for which they do fight, see the related question.
The Suez Canal Crisis has nothing to do with the Palestinian Arabs. It was a conflict between Egyptian National Interests and those of Israel, France, and the United Kingdom concerning control of the Suez Canal.
Primarily the lower Levant, typically called Israel-Palestine.
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'.
The conflict in general is called the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The particular war that erupted due to the Arab Rejection of Israel's Declaration of Independence was the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, alternately called the Nakba by Arabs and the Independence War by Israelis.
Nicholas Herbert has written: 'Jews and Arabs in conflict' -- subject(s): Arab-Israeli 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.
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.
There are many reasons for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but most of them stem from the nationalist movements of the Jews and the Arabs which seeked to gain sovereignity.
