peace between jews and arabs?
more than once people here claim that prior to the establishment of israel, jews and arabs lived in peace in israel.
why do they make such claim, when it is obviously wrong?
1936-1939 riots
1929 massacre
1922 massacre

1799 massacre
modern history in israel is full with arabs massacring jews. so why do they make such a claim?
i think you missed something - i can list massacres done by arabs all the way until 1799, and even before that. that's the meaning of the dots (like in math).
for example 1660 - massacre of jews in safed in tiberias
got it?

Is there peace between Jews and Christians? History is FULL of massacres of Jews by Christians- and not talking about 50-70 people, but THOUSANDS or in the case of the Holocaust MILLIONS. Plus you are being incredibly one sided- you are leaving out massacres like Deir Yassin, Safra and dozens more that put anything Palestinians did to Jews to shame. Also to be fair their were massacres in the 18th in 19th century due to instability- war. When the area had stable government the Jews and Arabs got along quite well. In fact during the Inquisition, the Sultan invited Jews from ALL OVER to live in his Empire INCLUDING PALESTINE. But of course you know all that- so why do YOU make the claim that Israelis try to make peace with Arabs?
I believe I mentioned as the September vote draws closer the ol' Hasbera's gonna get revved up.
BUt gotta give the ol' muzzies credit- they seemed to pull the over Albert Einstein's eyes, and he was supposed to be pretty smart I hear see for yourself http://thirdworldtraveler.com/Dissent/Einstein_NYT...

i could like for them to grow to be non violent however the arabs are the biggest. as long with the aid of fact the arabs hate Jews and desire them ineffective then I see no end to the stress between them. I positioned the blame on arabs who're Jew haters.

The Muzzies generally coexisted with the 'dhimmis' they ruled (Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, etc.) as long as the dhimmis accepted an inferior status (e.g. paying the jizya tax only on account of their religion, not bearing arms, not raising their voices in worship, not worshiping publicly, not trying to marry Muslim women, not trying to prevent their women from marrying Muslims, not preaching their religion, not criticizing Islam). Whenever the Muzzies felt like it (although they felt like it less often than the Europeans during the Middle Ages) they did terrorize and persecute their religious minorities, such as the time 48 Christians in Spain were crucified by the Muslims for criticizing Islam in the so-called humanitarian golden age of Islamic rule in Iberia. Arabs and Jews did not live in 'peace' in Palestine in the 1700s and 1800s, Muzzie power there was simply greatly weakened, as it was weakened in the entire Middle East in general, and Western political and military pressures and cultural importation alleviated the plight of the religious minorities and even made them quite important in their own ancestral homelands for the first time in 2,000 years. e.g. Egypt had a Coptic Christian Prime Minister in the 1800s and now it can't even appoint a Coptic governor without tens of thousands of Muslims barricading the streets and threatening to kill everyone. The Arab violence on the Jews started in the 1920s because of the weakness and neutrality of the British colonial administration there. This was patternistic of the Muslim violence on Jews and Christians alike in the rest of the Islamic world. Today the violence and persecution against Christians continue because there are no more Jews left to make miserable.
@ Petit, so Arab massacres of Jews were justified because the Jews were trying to make their own country? All the massacres of Palestinians imaginable are justified then.

In 1996 it was about to him, Oslo Accords were signed Arafat, Rabin and Clinton were all good to go, Hamas was subdued, Amir Yegev changed everything. Then the ethnic cleansing agenda of Talmudist Zionists and their sponsors in New York begins. Clinton's get monica scandal, Arafat all of a sudden a terrorist and 9/11 begins the downfall; from demonizing Arabs, brainwashing young Zionists and preparing them for more conflicts. As I said it was about to happen someone gave orders that wars with Arabs are more profitable then Zionists living in peace.

I believe considering the Jewish record of co-existing with other races, life with the Arabs was a cakewalk.
I am afraid you have been misinformed my dear friend.
Please do not forget that the Jewish and the Arab people have exactly the same mentality, habits, looks, dietary customs and similar religions.
Even the Hebrew language is a form of the Arab language. Only a bit different. Nevertheless the principle is the same.

"[The Jewish settlers] treat the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass unjustly, beat them shamelessly for no sufficient reason, and even take pride in doing so. The Jews were slaves in the land of their Exile, and suddenly they found themselves with unlimited freedom, wild freedom that ONLY exists in a land like Turkey. This sudden change has produced in their hearts an inclination towards repressive tyranny, as always happens when slave rules."
- Ahad Ha'am, 1891
*He was cultural leader of early Zionism, and 2nd only to Herzl.
I think i'd start a riot too if i were being treated with the cruelty that Ha'am describes.

Yes, and they could have continued living in peace and all these massacres could have been prevented if European Jewish fanatic didn't come to turn Palestine, a densely populated Arab land, into a homeland for all Jews in the world. Some Arabs turned violent against Jewish colonialism of their lands. Aha'ad Ha'am, the Zionist thinker, warned about that in 1891:

@Resist
Where exactly did i say it was justified? I said it could have been prevented. All the massacres against both Jews and Arabs could have been prevented if Jewish fanatics didn't come from Europe to form "country of their own" in a densely populated Arab land. Because this radical plan couldn't have been done without displacing the original Arab inhabitants. And that is exactly how Israel was created. As for Jewish-Arab/Muslim relations, read the work of Norman Stillman (Jewish professor specializes in the intersection of Jewish and Islamic culture and history). In his book "The Jews of Arab Lands" he speaks favorably about Islamic treatment of Jews and about general relation between Muslims and Jews. It is nothing like your Hasbara my dear friend.

The dates you provided proves that Jews and Arabs lived in peace in Palestine,israel was established in 1948...........The zionist started immigrating to Palestine at the turn of the twentieth century ........before that ,at least for more than a 100 years ,according to your figures,......things were calm and both Arabs and Jews lived in peace......after the zionists arrival.....things went bad...... because of the zionists aggression.
- ?Lv 510 years ago
Because all the dates you mentioned were after the Jewish immigration and exposing their plans to make palestine a jewish homeland.
Whether you "want" to believe it or not, Arabs and Jews co-existed perfectly because Jews back then spoke Arabic and were treated like the rest of non-muslim arabs (Christian, Bahai, Druze or Yazidi)
Its the ones who didnt want to live under arab control and replacing arabic with hebrew started all this mess.
Ever since Jesus was born till 1948 there was NEVER something called "Israel".

The final goal of Arabs is to destroy the jewish State of Israel and to establish the Muslim Arab rule over the entire territory of Palestine. Arabs prepare the genocide of the Jews and do not hide it when they speak beteen themselves in Arabic. But for the Jews, to lull the future victims, they offer this sugar syrop story about how Jews and Arabs "lived in peace" ( but always under the "wise islamic rule"). The more sophisticated variant of this lullabies used to lull the future victims of the Islamic expansion in the West is the sadly famous "Islam is the religion of peace".
The true face of the "religion of peace" and of what happenes when the number of Muslims in a Western country becomes really big the West can observe these days in Great Britain, especially in London. This is what it looks like.
