> peace happens after conquest
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.
I guess you didn’t watch the video link?
You guessed incorrectly. Being (according to this man) better than other colonizers does not obviate the behaviour described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43690612.
It eliminates the argument you proposed that Arabs didn’t establish peace. Arab conquests established justice which included bringing the Jews back.
