The current crisis between Israel and the Palestinians is the latest round in a long conflict between Jews and Muslims over Jerusalem and the Holy Land. This conflict increased in violence and cruelty after the return of millions of Jews to the Holy Land in the nineteenth century and the establishment of the State of Israel as their national and religious homeland in 1948.
The conflict is currently focused on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was built by the Muslims after their second caliph Omar occupied Jerusalem in the year 636 AC. By the Al-Aqsa Mosque, we mean a large complex of more than 140,000 square meters, surrounded by a wall, and including several mosques and Islamic religious sites.
