There was no hint of de-escalation as Israeli warplanes bombed a residential area of Beirut on Friday, killing at least 31 people, including multiple Hezbollah commanders, and wounding at least dozens of others. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health said that the dead include three women and seven children.
During a Saturday television interview, Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch falsely proclaimed that “there is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon.”
“The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated,” he vowed. Pressed on the genocidal implications of the word “annihilated,” Kisch said, “Lebanon as we know it will not exist.”
Persecution in europe also wasn’t constant. It varied significantly as well.
In the best case Jews were second class citizens under Muslim rule. They had to pay a special tax, were forbidden to own horses or weapons, and wear special clothing.
I mean you can look at this:

The Middle East was, as I said before, a safe haven for Jews who suffered from persecution in Europe for most of history. There were instances of persecution, but what was considered normal in Christian Europe was much more of an exception in the Muslim world.
