Ehhhh. That's... Hard to compare.

Because, technically, the Jewish people have only been in control of the actual city of Jerusalem since WWII, and have never really had a military force to fight Islamic people anyway (Unlike Christians).

Now, if you were to argue Christians and Muslims fighting over it, that is a bit closer to a mellenium, but wasn't caused by a grudge. The crusades (Where I'm kind-of considering the 'start' of this conflict) were caused by the fact the Islamic people in charge there ceased letting Christians into the city as well as other bad things to Christians

... Believe it or not I'm a Math Major, actually.

I realized my error and edited accordingly. Even still, the Crusades themselves are arguably what sparked the current animosities between the groups today. Point is, people are more than capable of holding a grudge even that long after the fact.
