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.

> Look at what happened to the Christians and Druze.

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.
