Arabs never ‘established peace’ - historians largely agree that Islam was spread through conquest. Under Arab colonisation Jewish people either lived as Dhimmis, which are second class citizens, or were subject to outright violence (you can find many incidences of this before 1948), or both.

Yes, peace happens after conquest. Colonization never occurred. And if you want to know what happened to the Jews after Arabs conquered, listen to this historian speak: https://youtu.be/9bBlv0hfj5c?si=JVi7tMYTPwBI97gT

    No, it doesn’t. This is discussed in the comment you responded to.

    To deny the Arab colonisation of the middle east is simultaneously hilarious and disgusting, the one does see this occasionally amongst arab nationalists that have recently infiltrated the American left and caused the issues at Harvard and elsewhere.
