  • For Palestine specifically, Khalidi’s The hundred years war on Palestine goes over the period of transition from the ottoman empire, to zionist colonization. It goes in-depth into peaceful relations between religious communities for hundreds of years before zionism.

    As for the middle ages through the ottoman empire, you can glance over these wiki sections, but its fairly universally accepted that Islamic states were in general refuges and safe-havens for jewish peoples who had to flee christian persecution, or those who already lived in the regions.




  • but let’s not pretend the Palestinians wouldn’t be doing the same given the upper hand.

    They lived in peace for hundreds of years before the zionist settler-colonial project. So there’s no evidence that the victims of Zionism can be equated with their oppressors, just because “all religion bad”.

    Muslim countries historically have been far kinder to their religious minorities than any european one also.
