      for much longer than you’ve been alive.

      Even the Romans stirred up shit there (which is putting it mildly, considering the destruction of the second temple and the subjugation of all of Judea and being renamed Syria-Palaestina - yes, the name is that old), and even long before them it was most probably the most war-torn region in all of Earth. Looks like that isn’t going to change any time soon. It’s definitely not quite a new thing.
