IzoBar:
“I rarely ever post on here but when you keep repeating the claim that riots in israel eg the [Chevron] riot of 1929 is beacuse of the zionists and that before the zionists the jews lived safely in Israel is factually incorrect. How do you explain the riots in tzfat in the 19th century eg tzfat 1834 or 1838? Not everything can be blamed on the zionists. ”
No, what I wrote is factually correct. The facts are, as Rav Baruch Kaplan and other have noted (and as plain history records), the Chevron Massacre in the late 20s was a direct result of Zionist (needless, even by Zionist “standards”) provocation. I didn’t say that the Jews there lived in Gan Eden before that, but they did certainly did live peacefully before that.
It isn’t logical to argue that this fact is therefore incorrect just because you know of a riot that occurred about a century prior to the Chevron Massacre. The facts are the facts. Your question about what caused that riot is a different matter. The facts are, again, that the Zionists caused the Chevron Massacre and that, going back well before that massacre, prior to the Zionist invasion and even a little afterwards, the Jews lived peacefully there. Those massacres there were a result of other politics; that part is of course true.
