Do you think in ancient times the Israelite and Arabian tribes still deeply loved each other despite everything, because of their kinship?

During WWI and even WWII, a lot of Arabs protected their Jewish friends and neighbors from Fascist and Nazi occupiers. Now, Arabs have become so anti-Semitic that they are afraid to admit this even if they are glad they did it. But the Jews have not forgotten, and many of these Arabs are honored as "Righteous among the Nations."

Both Arabs and Israelites originated from the same area, they had differences 5000 years now, but both accepted each others despite their differences until Zionism appeared, Zionists were the reason of WW1 and WW2 and you see me coming, they will be the reason of WW3.

Jewish and Arab people originated in the same place...Arabia. They are both part of the great Semitic branch of humans. They are genetically related. People have been leaving Arabia ever since the Sahara started drying out to desert 6000BC. The ancestors of the Jews left with the Amorites 2100BC and again joining with Hurrians 1650BC. The ancestors of the Arabs stayed in Arabia or close by ( moving into what's now south Israel and Jordan 300BC), until they really branched out taking places over all in the 600's AD.
At 1st after the Arab conquests the Jews and Arabs got along ok (650AD-1000AD) but with Arabs in the drivers seat. After c.1100AD it was downhill with the relationship because the Jews like others in the Arab lands faced more discrimination as time went on.
By year 1800 the Jews wanted the land they originally settled after leaving Arabia, (Canaan) back which they had more or less 1500BC-100AD, with themselves in the drivers seat, that's when the real hatred started. The Arabs and their Jewish cousins managed to barely to get along till year1900, but then after that...it's basically been war for 120 years.
It's too bad because they have much in common and got along for a long time before, but the Arabs just won't part with that sliver of land (whether Jerusalem is included or not) and the Jews have no other place to go if they want a country.

There never was a country of Israel they were nomadic tribes and therefore intermingles with Arab races!
Israel did not exist until 146/1948 when it was formed by taking Palestinian lands!

When father Abraham died Isaac and Ishmael took care of his burial. They had some problems before that but in the end they learned to care.
