Naftush -“Toi, Jewish life under Arab rule varied from violent abuse to institutional abuse with brief interludes of light, depending on the country and the century. Putrid mellahs, high percentages of blindness at early age, general illiteracy, routine denial of basic services, dhimmi taxes, religious maltreatment … that was the norm.”
Thank you Joan Peters. But in Europe during this time it was much worse for Jews – ever hear of the crusades, progroms, etc.
Jews were treated fine, in Palestine, during the Ottoman empire, whether you admit it or not.
