It's almost as if different groups of people have been fighting over the same smidge of land for a really long time.

Honestly, probably the most contested* area throughout history. Maybe after Anatolia, but that has been relatively peaceful in my lifetime so it feels different.

*And by that I mean contested by the most powerful players at their respective times. I'm sure there are places that have had more consistent fueds at a much smaller scale.

Well humans have been fighting each other since before civilization began and that area is one of the oldest civilized areas.
