I’m not going to get into a yes no debate because that is pointless. I never said there weren’t peaceful periods but there were also peaceful periods in europe. I wouldn’t call that though a happy coexistence. Jews under arab rule have suffered immensely over the centuries and to claim otherwise is burying your head in the sand. @UJM i cited 2 examples of pogroms but there are many many such examples both in Israel and generally across the arab countries (see the Rambams statements on Yishmoel). I agree however that this is a function of galus, hence my point, not everything can be blamed on the zionists and to claim otherwise is simply historically inaccurate. Calls therefore to revert to arab rule are highly misguided.
