Before 1943, both Muslims and Jews lived in Palestine in peace, but as immigration increased, so did tension. It wasn't about religion, it was about land.

There were plenty of Jewish leagues, sports, ect, called the Palestinian Jewish (league name).

"In peace"

Not really. There has been conflict between the two groups since pretty much the day the first Jewish immigrants/settlers arrived in the 1800's. The first recorded violent action was in 1882 when an Arab was shot at a wedding by a Jew so a bunch of Arabs started a small riot vandalising Jewish property. And since there has been so many riots and shooting and checks notes mule thefts, done as retaliation to retaliation to retaliations.

That's actually not true. There's a book called Ten Myths About Israel by Ilan Pappe. Look it up, there's a chapter precisely about that. He brought the receipts.

In peace part. There's a lot of documents showing that the first wave of Jews coming to Palestine lived in peace with Palestinians, also a lot of them working together and forming trade unions together which was a problem for Jewish elite. It's presented in the book.

One incident on a certain date doesn't mean there's conflict between groups. There were plenty of jewish and muslim neighbours helping/hiding eachother when extremists started trying to bully/kill the other group from villages. Living together in peace requires both groups to defeat their extremists

True. The three western religions have been at war with each other since they were created.

I guess the thing we can all agree on here was the arrogant stupidity of Great Britain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Brits just left when they saw they couldn't handle the conflict. I wonder why humans again and again try this concept of "let's just devide the place and protect the borders!". I don't think it ever worked, instead we have multiple examples of how it makes people suffer and has long lasting negative consequences.

To be fair, most divisions took place around WW2, so perhaps it was just a beloved but dumb idea at that time...

“In peace”

Not really.

You know Palestinian Jews exist, right? Like, not Jews who immigrated from America or Europe, like... Arab Jews.

[–] VoilaChihuahua 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't immigration to Israel increase due to persecution of Jewish people? So if there was no Christ / bible leading to Judaism separating from Christianity, we wouldn't have the resulting anti-semitism that caused Jewish people to return to their biblical homeland and displace the indigenous Palestinians. Honest inquiry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think so, too. With no religion, anti-Semitism could probably not exist. Although, it isn't purely a religious group but also an ethnicity.

Jewish people are native to the place Palestine/Israel as well, btw. Even when you leave out the religious claim going back to Abraham, there are multiple archeological and genetic findings that confirm Jewish people have lived there already thousands of years ago.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

The only reason being jewish has an ethnic component is, of course, religious. Who else cares which parti-fucking-ticular tribe their ancestors belonged to 2.500 years ago

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Jews lived in Arab and Muslim countries as second-class citizens at best. There are also many Palestines in Israel living there, doing sports, allowed to vote, etc. But somehow in that case it's not okay.

Almost as if it's okay to treat Jewish people as lesser, but not Muslims.

The whole fights and anger about the city Jerusalem is driven by religion, as well.

Even when Palestinians could live in Israel as first class citizens they reject it because they are anti-zionist. Which is a religious standpoint, even when Zionism itself is of course also a religious standpoint.

Please read this for example, which I think makes a very good point on how religion drives the conflicts:
