    There was no massive Jewish/Muslim conflict for a 1000 years in the region. The biggest massacre in the region against the Jews was probably the Siege of Jerusalem by the Crusaders in 1099, albiet exact numbers are not available. The crusaders killed everyone in the city with a death toll as low as 3000 to as high as 70000. This includes all Muslims, Jews, and Christians.

    When I tried to look at the pogroms done against Jews in the Levant the history is actually remarkably scant. While they did happen, my impression based on just reading the wiki article was that they were caught up in larger conflicts in the region and it wasn’t a deliberate targetting in the same way the Tsar’s cossacks targetted Jews. And in all those cases the dominant power always came to their rescue and compensated them for the damages done by their persecutors. Also it appears that the worst perps weren’t Muslims, but Druze (who are not Muslims).

    In short, Trump is not only highly dishonest, but also a worthless shitbag who has been struggling his entire life to enshittify the world we all live in. He is worse than Bezos or Zuckerberg, because at least Amazon is a decent shopping platform, and Zuckerberg’s facebook helped many people (myself included) to reconnect with childhood friends that I thought I would never speak to again).

        This post infers that Levantine Arabs and Jews have a 1000 year conflict. Levantine Arabs DID NOT cause the Holocaust.

        Edit: I was referring to the OP specifically (the meme posted to this community), your post wasn’t as bad as this meme (though it was quite loaded).
