From the Paper:

"The history that fuels this conflict is vast but it is vitally important that the history of the region is understood before we can understand what is happening in the region currently. The conflict between the two groups began at the turn of the century when Zionists immigrants began to enter Jerusalem in an attempt to establish a homeland. Zionists believe that God made promises to Abraham that the Jews, who are Abraham's descendants through Isaac, were to have Canaan (The land now known as Israel). Arabs, who are Abraham's descendants through his other son, Ishmael, were not to inherent the land.1 Palestinians were already living in the land when European Jews arrived after they arrived Palestinians and non-Jews comprised 90% of the population."
