Question

The Jewish faith began with Abraham, who led the Hebrew people to the "Promised Land." This land was called Canaan and was on the land in the Mediterranean where Israel is today. The Jewish people (also known as the Hebrews) were unusual at the time for believing in only one god. Most everyone else around them worshipped multiple deities. In about 2000 BCE, there was a long drought and famine in Canaan, so the Jewish people migrated to Egypt to find water and work. When they returned to Canaan in 1200 BCE, they found that people had moved in while they were gone. The Jews claimed rights to the land, based on their history there, but the Canaanites didn't want to give it up. So they fought. The land of Israel, claimed by both the Jews (Israelis) and the Palestinians, is still being fought over today.
