    How are Jews treated in Palestine right now? What are the goals of the major Palestinian organizations when it comes to Jews?

      I think you’re getting confused. Before the creation of Israel there were jewish palestinians, and Christian Palestinians and muslim Palestinians. And then the apartheid ethnostate of Israel was created, and israel made everyone who was not jewish a 2nd class citizen or a refugee.

      Before the creation of israel people of the three faiths were living together in Palestine.

      So i’m quite sure the problem is actually israel

          All three of those riots are the result of the Balfour declaration, which is what lead to the creation of Israel.

            Ah, so you’re moving the goalposts from May 14th, 1948 to November 2nd, 1917?

            Admittedly, there seems to be fewer records of violence towards Jews in the region. Probably under a 1000 killed through violence throughout the 1800s. But there were oppressive laws set by the Ottoman regime - limiting land sales, requiring Jews to work in certain industries and forbidding them from others, etc. You know, apartheid.

              I don’t think it’s unfair to link the statement “there was less violence and hate towards Jews before Israel” with you know, actually checking dates before Israeli settlers started arriving.

                So Israel began with Jewish settlers first arriving, the Balfour declaration, or Israeli Independence?

                Just so I don’t waste time for you sealions.

                  If you want to debate perv this, which group was there first and can lay claim to the land? Oh look, it’s Egyptian Arabs. Source. And before you debate perv me with context. It certainly wasn’t the Jews who were first, and you know it.

      Think about how Jews were treated before Israeli apartheid in Palestine… As in they were Palestinian Jews who lived in peace with everyone. Until the colonists came.

          Yes massacres happened, but this is not the “big picture” of Palestinian Jews in Palestine predating Israel.

          Here’s another wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jews

          In the narrative works of Arabs in Palestine in the late Ottoman period, as evidenced in the autobiographies and diaries of Khalil al-Sakakini and Wasif Jawhariyyeh, “native” Jews were often referred to and described as abnaa al-balad (sons of the country), ‘compatriots’, or Yahud awlad Arab (Jews, sons of Arabs).[4] When the First Palestinian Congress of February 1919 issued its anti-Zionist manifesto rejecting Zionist immigration, it extended a welcome to those Jews “among us who have been Arabicized, who have been living in our province since before the war; they are as we are, and their loyalties are our own.”[4]

          Not to mention the PLO considers them Palestinians (and the funny fact that needed to reiterate this and remind people that it’s okay and normal to be both Jewish and Palestinian)

              In Palestine? Source? “Pogram” doesn’t sound like a very Arab word.

              The term entered the English language from Russian to describe 19th- and 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire (mostly within the Pale of Settlement).

              Oh yeah cuz it’s not. So please send some sources for what you’re referring to

                  The trigger which turned the procession into a riot is not known with certainty. The British military administration of Palestine was criticized for withdrawing troops from inside Jerusalem and because it was slow to regain control. As a result of the riots, trust among the British, Jews, and Arabs eroded. One consequence was that the region’s Jewish community increased moves towards an autonomous infrastructure and security apparatus parallel to that of the British administration.

                  So that’s not a Palestinian Pogrom.

                  Lets look at the second one… wait 1517… 1517 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

                  Edit: ohh the person I’m replying to is very much unserious

                Notice the sentence right above that:

                A pogrom[a] is a violent riot incited with the aim of massacring or expelling an ethnic or religious group, particularly Jews.[1] The term entered the English language from Russian to describe 19th- and 20th-century attacks on Jews in the Russian Empire (mostly within the Pale of Settlement).

                Arabs wouldn’t have called something like the 1929 Palestine riots a “pogrom” or a “riot”, because they didn’t speak English, French, Yiddish, or Russian. Things have different names in different languages. They call it the Thawrat al-Burāq.

                In English, we might use either the more specific Russian loanword pogrom, or the more general French loanwords riot or massacre. Labeling something a riot doesn’t mean it has to have been done by the French, and labeling something a pogrom doesn’t mean it has to have been done by the Russians, even if that’s the origin of the loanword…
