The Abrahamic religions of Jews and Muslims base their quarrels since the origin of their religions in Patriarch Abraham 4000 years ago, over which of his sons, Isaac or Ishmael, would be the heir of the promise as people of God;  The Land of Canaan is an area with a long history.  Its occupation dates back to the earliest Neolithic phases, and over the millennia it has had important settlements such as Jericho, Ugarit, Jerusalem, Tyre, Sidon, Byblos, Damascus and Gaza.  It has been inhabited by very diverse peoples: Amorites, Jebusites, Hyksos, Philistines, Phoenicians, Arameans or Hebrews, who conquered several of these peoples and took possession of the region.  From the investigation of human remains, he established that about 4,000 years ago the Canaanites populated present-day Lebanon, and that they were the creators of one of the first known alphabets.  It has been occupied for long periods of time by Jews and Palestinians;  dominated by Rome in the year 63 BC;  After the destruction of the Second Temple of the Jews by the Romans in the year 70, the second Diaspora exile of the Jewish people occurred;  In the year 132-136 the land of the Jews was renamed Palestine;  After the division of the Roman Empire into Western and Eastern or Byzantine, the land of the Jews remained in the power of the Byzantine Empire;  when the Byzantine Empire fell to the Ottoman Empire, which took power of that land, until its fall at the end of World War I, when the League of Nations, predecessor of the current United Nations Organization, granted the British Mandate from Palestine;  In 1947 the United Nations approved the Partition of Palestine into two States, one Jewish and one Arab;  In 1948 the independence of Israel was declared with the end of the British Mandate of Palestine;  Since then Jews and Palestinians have been at war
