Before the formation of Israel, Palestinian Arabs seemed to get along with Jews. Now, propaganda over decades has poisoned many of them.

I wonder how many still refuse to hate the Jews? I always assumed that the majority wanted to destroy the Jews. I'm not so sure now.

Those Jews that the Arabs got along with were Sephardim & Mizrahim, native Middle Eastern Jews. They almost immediately began having problems with the European arrivals. Not even the ME Jews got along with the immigrating Jews, so enough said. Hell, they still don’t get along, so forget about the Arabs.

There’s no turning back the clock now & there’s no solution to a problem like that. The majority do want to destroy the Jews, whether actively (partaking in violent activities) or passively (providing moral support to those who do partake in the violence activities). As for those who do like the Jews, they either like only one kind of Jew & make demands that can never be met (”Throw out the white Jews!”), or have people in their immediate family who hate Jews rabidly & thus are a danger to all.

There is no point in trying to change the Arabs’ minds about Israel, the Hell with them. Israel’s well-being is what we need to worry about.

*There were some communities of religious European Jews that had come on their own & there were no problems with them, as they pretty much kept to themselves.

They have always hated Jews. But one can be relatively charitable to conquere peoples (dhimmi) who know their place. Think of Jim Crow south x5.
