If you count the modern period as after 1900, there was no tension between the Jews and Palestinian Arabs because there were very few Jews actually living in the area. Jews made up about 3% of the population until the first Zionist conference in 1897. Following on from this, the colonial project began with European Jews moving to Palestine.

Historically every time a settler colonial population moves into a new area the demonise, oppress and attempt to kill off the native population. We had the British in Ireland, Spanish and Portuguese in south and central America, northern Europeans in North America, British again in Australia and new Zealand, European powers in the “race for Africa” and now the Jewish setter colonisers in Palestine. Israel does not want a two state solution, it is quite clear from the evidence at hand that the “greater Israel” project is their goal. The rest of the world needs to wake up to the obvious, Israel is shouting about it and the world is not listening. Boycott, Divest and Sanction the genocidal Zionists, this worked for South Africa and their apartheid regime.
