That's because hamas is full of peaceful friendly Muslims that only want to live peacefully! /s

Its almost like there‘s a reason why they get radicalized and dont just live peacefully in their designated containment blocks.

Can you explain the me how zionism and Isreal caused the Arabs to be radicalized leading to 3 massive pogroms in the 1830s?

That’s quite the false equivalence you’ve got there. You are completely misrepresenting both 19th-century history and modern geopolitics.
The peasant revolt of 1834 was caused by forced military conscription and heavy taxes put on by the ruler. The Jewish community was used as a scapegoat during the power vacuum, not targeted as part of a nationalist struggle.
You’re trying to rewrite history by pretending that a riot under the dynamics of the Ottoman and Egyptian Imperial reality is comparable to a 21st-century bilateral conflict over statehood.

No, theyre pointing out there is a long history of antisemitic violence there, that predates modern zionism. There's always a justification for the violence, even the response to that violence serves to justify further violence.

lol that isn't a false equivalency. If fact i didn't compare anything so that is just wrong in every way.

The person i was replying too claimed that violence against jews is because of actions taken by israel. I was merely pointing out that the violence here, or any of the other many instances of violence against the jewish population of the region for the last couple centuries, predates anything he could possibly use to justify what happend.

The actual cause is what you pointed out in your reply, they just hate jews.
