It actually started around 11 century BC, when Samson slaughtered more than 1000 Philistines (ancient Palestinians).

That land belongs to the Canaanites!

Who I guess were ancient Canadians?

A bit earlier still

The Egyptians defeated the Sea Peoples and forced a subgroup, the Peleset, to southern Canaan to act as a buffer state to the Hittites to the north. This displaced the locals who would go on to become the Israelites.

The Peleset became the biblical Philistines.

What I'm hearing is it would be more efficient to go back and time and prevent this than to go back in time and kill Hitler.
