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

    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.
