> This has nothing to do with Jews. It has to do with Israel.

I’ve mentioned a few times but reiterating you can easily look up massacres of Jews by Arabs prior to 1948. Arabs colonised the Middle East, their religious includes fighting Jews at the end of time, and they commonly hate anyone else existing in the area. Look at what happened to the Christians and Druze.

You can look up massacres of Arabs by Jews too. This has kind of been mostly forgotten in recent decades, but the Zionist movement carried out many terrorist attacks in the 1930s and '40s.

You know that Christians are a significant part of the Palestinian population, right? They suffered the same fate as Muslim Palestinians at the hands of Israel - mass expulsion, theft of their homes and property, and military occupation.

You’re comparing isolated cases of violence (mainly against the British who were an occupying power stopping Israel from accepting Jews) with Islam attacking entire Christian countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan.

There many things wrong here:

* Israel didn't exist yet.

* These weren't "isolated cases of violence." There were Zionist terrorist groups behind these campaigns of terrorism. Leading figures in the two most important Zionist terrorist groups were later elected Prime Minster of Israel.

* Zionist groups carried out many terrorist attacks on Arab civilians, not just on British forces.

* "Islam attacking entire Christian countries, ...": Are you talking about the 7th Century again? Why are we discussing the Eastern Roman Empire? I thought we were talking about the modern world.
