I remember as a kid reading a biography about Patton. The author described ho prior to his landing in Morocco, he was worried about possible Vichy French resistance, and also, a lack of order which would lead to a massacre of the Jews by the locals.
I thought “how could the locals hate the Jews so much, if Israel hadn’t even been established yet?”
I least I started to question the propaganda we are all fed regarding the Middle East.
They hated their subjects (dhimmis), inspite of the latter being subdued.. or maybe it even added more to it. In any case, usually, Jews under Arab rule were in a “peaceful” second-class status, yet, every 50 years or so a massacre “erupted.” All shows the deep Khaybar tradition embedded witthin ‘moderate’ Muslims since Muhammad.
