    It actually started around 11 century BC, when Samson slaughtered more than 1000 Philistines (ancient Palestinians).

      A bit earlier still

      The Egyptians defeated the Sea Peoples and forced a subgroup, the Peleset, to southern Canaan to act as a buffer state to the Hittites to the north. This displaced the locals who would go on to become the Israelites.

      The Peleset became the biblical Philistines.
