The Jews lived with the Arabs from the ancient times.The Jews oppressed on hands of some nations especially on hands of the Europeans but almost the only place where they enjoyed peace and got safe shelter was in Arab countries.When Christians ruled Jerusalem,they sent the Jews out of the city and they did not allow them to enter it just once a year,but when the muslims captured Jerusalem,they allow the Jews to come back to the city and live in peace and gave them protection.Even today significant number of Jews live in peace and enjoy the same rights as any Arab citizen in Arab countries,despite the crimes commited against the unarmed Palestiniansby The Jewish government in Israel.Isn't time for Jews to reconsider their behaviour?The circumastances are changing.

Now why would they change their behavior if the world is overlooking to every s*** they do? I don't know what they did to deserve this privilege, but it looks like they own every single world's government and they are making everyone "dance to the music they make". Take any other country in the world, have them do what Jews are doing and et voila, you have major sanctions!
P.S. Not against the people, just politics

Although overall, Jews fared better in Muslim lands than in Christian ones, it was a far cry from today's Western civilization where everyone is equal and lives in a democracy. Jews, along with Christians, were second class citizens and anti semetism did exist.
There was also a period of time (12th cen) when the Moors ruled Spain when a radical Islamic group from North Africa invaded and made the Jew's lives so hellish, they started to prefer living under the lesser hell of the Christian city-states.
In any event, that history is irrelevant since today;s circumstances are vastly different. The fact of the matter is that anti semetism is now directed at Israel. Although Israel has never been perfect, its actions are largly justifiable and don't give us that BS line about "unarmed Palestinians".

israel has nothing against arabs. its just defending its right to exist, and the arabs are the ones who happened to live there before it became a state and are the ones who are currently threatening it. and just like the arabs let the jews live in peace in arab states, the arabs who are not suicide bombers live in peace in israel with the same rights and freedoms as any other israeli. Israel even recognizes arabic as one of its official languages. Israel does everything it can to live in peace with arabs.
from the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel: "Israel will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations."
