Unfortunately, I must dissent.
First, let me can say that much of what you write is unquestionably true. When I went to Hebrew school, the textbook on Jewish history that I had characterized the period of time that Jews lived in Spain under the.Moors as “the Golden Age of the Jews.” In many countries under Islamic rule, some Jews rose to high positions.
However, non-Islamic people in Muslim countries were treated unequally. They had to pay a special tax. While Jews could control the affairs of their own community, they were often restrictions on their interactions with the Muslim world. There were pogrom-like attacks on several occasions, although nowhere as bad as in the Christian-dominated lands.
While the leadership of the Jews was expelled from Israel in the second century, many Jews remained. The Zionist movement started in the first half of the 19th century. Almost from the beginning, Muslim people forcibly resisted the efforts of the Jews to reestablish their homeland in what is now the state of Israel-even though their land purchases were lawful under Ottoman law. The state of Israel was established lawfully.
If the Arab world had accepted the existence of the state of Israel in 1948 and had established a state in the portion of the Palestinian mandate that was offered to them, they would’ve been 76 years of peace and probable prosperity for all of the people in that region.
Unfortunately, the level of hatred and misunderstanding between Palestinians and Israelis as of now would indicate that, if for any reason Muslims obtained military superiority over the Israelis, they would in fact exterminate the Israeli people. To say otherwise is to not understand that Jews lived in Germany for over 1000 years before the Holocaust without exterminating them. just because it never happened before, and even though Jews were integrated into that society, political extremism lead to catastrophic results. Unfortunately, I believe that would happen today were the military situation reversed.
