It's a bit inaccurate. The conflict has been going on since at least the end of WWI, when zionists started moving into Palestine and the British tried to play both sides, fucking everything up for everyone before heading out.
Both sides feel that the other side is the unreasonable one.

Partly, because Netanyahu and his goons will get prison sentences once the dust settles. So they escalate.
