A rather odd account IMO. First this:

It was to be expected that the relations between the Arab regimes and their subordinated Jews would be marred by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. But nobody could have anticipated that the final outcome would be the liquidation of the Jewish communities.

Then a number of comments such as this, which clearly show that quite a number of people envisioned precisely that:

Addressing the UN General Assembly on November 14, 1947, just five days before that body voted on the Partition Plan for Palestine, Heykal Pasha, the Egyptian delegate, stated, inter alia, that:

"The proposed solution might endanger a million Jews living in the Muslim countries. Partition of Palestine might create in those countries an anti-Semitism even more difficult to root out than that of Nazism. If the UN decides to partition Palestine, it might be responsible for the massacre of a large number of Jews.


However, thanks for this article which somewhat confusingly makes my point: The creation of the State of Israel is in fact the root problem.
