It is offensive because it is a lie. Although easily disputed by anyone
who has actually studied the history of the area, this idea has been
repeated enough in the media that many people accept it as truth.
please see some reasons of why this is deliberately misleading

Most people have never truly studied the history of this region,
at most reading some modern hack looking to further his or her flawed
political ideology via "revisionist historical" accounts, or simply sell
books because they are controversial.

There is, however, plenty of historical accounts from the late 1800's and
on, an excellent primer on the subject is From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine by Joan Peters.
From there one can branch to many of the sources cited, and eventually
gain an unbiased, more comprehensive view of the complex history,
of an even more complex region.

  1. Read books (example below - just a starting point, but one of the most well-known examples)

  2. Memorize relevant facts - along with their original source (not the book they are cited in - this is important)

  3. Cite relevant facts when they come up in conversation. Be prepared to answer objections.

    Note: wrote this post before reading comments. Comment just following says the exact same thing. Hmm.
