Health: Your timeline is right, your cause and effect are wrong. Jews got along “okay” with Arabs before the 19th century (and by “okay” we mean living at the whims of dictators as second-class citizens with the potential to lose all of their possessions, their homes, or even their lives any day). But Zionism was not the cause of the change of that. Arab nationalism changed things much more than Zionism did. It came about earlier and there was a significant uptick in attacks against Jews and outright massacres long before 19th century Zionism existed.
