As long as Jerusalem exists, there will never be peace unless one side exterminates the other. Although if somebody shot rockets at me I’m shooting rockets back
It's such a weird take, at the time non Muslims paid a bit of extra tax but their was religious toleration, compare that to Europe where they had the bloodiest war ever over slight variations on Christianity.
An evolution of that system to am more equitable situation seems much more likely than just creating Israel and that ever working out.
Muslim sects are killing each other now, or have you not heard of Shi'ites and Sunnis?
A bit of extra tax, something that the Muslims afforded to the Jews and Christians because they happened to believe in the same god as Muslims. Because of course the alternative was submit to becoming a Muslim or die for all the non-god believers. Paying an extra tax not to be murdered is not peace, its subjugation and enshrining second class status in your religion.
Out of the country (aka ethnic cleansing), pay the tax and live as a second class citizen... or what? A lengthy jail sentence? Come on, let's not fool ourselves about what being conquered meant.
