I would like you to cite one instance in history when "the area..." went "back and forth between the Jews and the Palestinians" aside from 1948 and 1967 and the original exodus from Egypt (the indigenous peoples, then, were not "Palestinians", i.e. not Arabs). Excluding when the Jews first left the area for Egypt around 2000 BC (was that peaceful?...I honestly don't know), the first of many conflicts were: ca. 1,250 BC Israelite conquest of Canaan. 721 BC Assyrian conquest of the kingdom of Israel. palestine-net.com Maybe you don't consider Canaanites "Palestinians", but I believe they are the same race of people. My point is that this area and its people have been in conflict for thousands of years...not just since "Palestine" was created by the UN in 1947.
