  • You’re conflating and misrepresenting two of the examples I gave. I wonder why.

    I gave you the link these examples come from five posts up. If you can’t be bothered to spend five minutes reading that, why are you so invested in this conflict (and discussion)?

    Here’s a bonus one to quench your thirst for whataboutism, from the same article:

    He compelled them to wear distinguishing garments, with a very noticeable yellow cloth for a head-covering; from that time forward the clothing of the Jews formed an important subject in the legal regulations concerning them.



  • If you don’t see having to choose between conversion or death, with hundreds of thousands killed, as genocide, what would you call it?

    What about being killed in the street for wearing shoes as a jew?

    What about legally being allowed to genocide jews because one was rumoured to have struck a muslim woman?

    That’s a strange idea of religions living peacefully together


  • Yeah, I think this idea comes from not really knowing much history then.

    As long as there are different religions, there’s been religious beef.

    Jews living as minorities in predominantly islamic countries have experienced this by various degrees. Islamic law demands that they always be treated as second class citizens and, to no surprise, they have. And in certain periods in certain places, this was spiced up with some forced conversion or genocide.

    Read up on this for a nice example. It’s like claiming black African slaves had a nice life in the US until some troublemakers started demanding equal rights.

    The mass migration towards Palestine and zionist efforts to create a majority jewish state there aren’t a pinnacle of humanity, but it’s important to know where it comes from



  • Jews went there on their own. In no small part from predominantly muslim countries where they faced systemic discrimination and, often, persecution.

    Those from the Ottoman empire who didn’t were largely genocided by their muslim neighbours to ‘punish’ them for the creation of Israel, which should give you clue that your idea that “different religions didn’t have much beef” is complete bs.

    Not to say the zionist jews aren’t among the worst people as well, of course
