"t's sort of like saying that Southern plantation owners were much more accepting of blacks before the Civil War than after the Civil war; the rise of racist organizations after the war was largely linked to emancipation issues." What a totally ludicrous analogy! Were the Jews SLAVES of the Arabs before the founding of the state of Israel? I think not..

No argument that the status of Jews in Arab lands was 2'nd class. My point was that the "wipe them off the map" hatred was not there before. That is linked to the state of Israel, land, and holy places, as well as the power imbalances. The good news from this historical fact is that I think it shows that Jews & Arabs can live in peace. There will be some generations of bad blood to work through, but the sooner the better IMO.
