Esau, a biblical figure from the Book of Genesis, is traditionally considered the ancestor of the Edomites, a group that settled in what is now southern Jordan. While some interpretations connect Esau to various ancient populations, there is no direct biblical or historical evidence linking him specifically to Arab ancestry. However, the Edomites were neighbors and often interacted with the ancient Israelites and other groups in the region, which could create some cultural overlaps. Overall, while Esau is not explicitly identified as part of Arab ancestry, his descendants, the Edomites, were part of the broader ancient Near Eastern context.

Does the Arab and Israeli conflict go back to the time of Jesus and the Romans?

It goes back farther than that. It goes back to Jacob and Esau and their uncle Ishmael. It was the descendants of Esau's grandson, Amalek, (the Amalekites) who attacked the Israelites as they were coming out of Egypt. That happened over 3400 years ago. During the time of Jesus and the Romans, the Harod kings were descendants of Esau. The Israelites didn't appreciate being ruled by their antagonistic, "Jewish-in-name-only" 'relatives' much less the Roman 'foreigners.'
