      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.
