I know it's satire but I still don't like how The Onion how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is any older than a century and change.
I mean to an extent but definitely less than, say, Europe.
I mean yes. That's 700+ years right there. And before them the other caliphates. Sectarian violence wasn't a common occurence in the Middle East before European colonization, which among other things drew nee borders in a way that intentionally encourages sectarian and ethnic violence.
