The Jews' time in Europe was roughly as bad as it was in Arab Islamic lands for 12 centuries. And while the Jews achieved for the most part freedom and protection from the modern European states in the 18th century and onward the Arab Islamic lands continued to persecute and abuse their dhimmi Jews and indeed fought against the Ottoman Empire's forced changes on the dhimma issue because of Britain and France. Hence, the Arab Islamic lands have always been oppressive to the dhimmi Jew and of course their lands are largely cleansed of any Jews present day. So don't give me this crap. The "Palestinians"' were a hodge-podge by the twentieth century of Arabs and other Islamics from all over the place. It was the Arab nationalism which started the strife and riots against the Jews. The Jews were merely protecting themselves from the likes of the Grand Mufti and his clan of fascists.
Really, the worst situation I ever heard of in the Arab world was when the Etheiopian Christians came and finished off the Jewish King of Yemen for burning up all those Najran Christians.
