Sympathisanten van de Palestijnen vertellen graag hoe vreedzaam Joden en Arabieren samenleefden in het Midden-Oosten voordat die vermaledijde zionisten kwamen en iedereen wilden overheersen. Zolang de moslims in de meerderheid en dominant waren, en de Joden zich daaraan aanpasten, ging het in de ogen van de moslims prima. De Joden hebben daar gemengde gevoelens over. In de Arabische wereld ging het vaak beter dan in Europa, maar er waren, afhankelijk van tijd en plaats, tal van discriminitoire en vernederende maatregelen en gebruiken, en van gelijkwaardigheid was geen sprake.
Na de stichting van Israel zijn bijna alle Joden uit de Arabische landen gevlucht en verdreven, met achterlating van een hoeveelheid land die meerdere keren de oppervlakte van Israel omvat. Zie ook: http://www.israel-palestina.info/vluchtelingen.html

Decline and fall of Libyan Jews
http://jewishrefugees.blogspot.com/2009/09/decline-and-fall-of-libyan-jewry.html
(From Point of No return)
The Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi knows all about Jews. Jews dressed like Arabs and lived in harmony with Arabs, he tells Time magazine. But they are heading to disaster because they dared have their Jewish state, instead of one state shared with the Palestinians. Gaddafi here restates the old dhimmi idea - the Jews are 'our Jews' who must defer to Arabs for protection.
So successful was coexistence in Libya, that under Gaddafi's watch Libya became judenrein! For the benefit of Time readers and others who are tempted to believe Gaddafi's lies, Point of No Return charts the decline and fall of Libyan Jewry:
1938 Italian racial laws applied to Libya's 30,000 Jews.
1942 600 Jews die in Giado work camp
1945 Two-day pogrom: 130 Jews killed
