‘The situation in the Middle East today is a direct result of the “Jewish” run government. ‘

‘before the 1940s Jews and Arabs co existed with each other’

Did you get no secular education in your yeshivot? While things weren’t as bad as in Christian Europe, things were often bad. A sampling:

1066: Pogrom in Granada, Spain, then under Arab rule. Thousands die.

1465: Pogrom in Fez, Morocco. 11 Jews survive.

1517: Pogrom in Chevron. All Jews dead or fled. Jews would not return until 1533 once the Ottomans had gotten things under control and an Ottoman census in the 1520s confirms that there were no Jews in Chevron then.

1840: Damascus blood libel.

1917: Pogroms by Ottoman governot Djemal Pasha against Jews.

All this and more — I could fill up a page — predates even the Balfour Declaration, much less any ‘Jewish run government’.
