Be careful.
Understanding context means having a deeper analysis of a situation. Do not make the dire mistake to confuse and compare the dehumanization and straight up essentialization that you are trying to make with a materialist geopolitical analysis of the consequences of imperialism, neocolonialism, and genocide that I'm denouncing.
Perhaps you are looking at tankies and leftist like me.

I think it’s fair to be understanding in regard to the Palestinians. While they do have a lot of animosity towards Jews, it’s not really the same as traditional antisemitism. In that these folks actually have been victimized by people who are Jewish. As opposed to hating Jews due to asinine conspiracies and scapegoating.
I don’t think you can be as charitable regarding antisemitism elsewhere in the Middle East. Israel probably wouldn’t be as strong as it is if the mizrachi Jews didn’t leave their home countries to go to Israel.
While there were some pull factors in that migration, a big reason they left the Muslim world was antisemitism.
Is it just me or does that guy who stopped the shooter kinda look like the dude from the sopranos?

so did colonialism, zionism and imperialism cause vivid jew-hatred in islam in the 7th century and legit prophecies about how jews need to be expelled from the arabian peninsula and generally fought against because the hour wont come until muslims do so?
at best you can say the above that you listed is fueling this fire, but it has been burning for over a millenium

It's not about empathy in this case, it's about understanding the context and understanding why it's not ok, in any circoumstance to essentialize ethnicities. There are comrades and leftist who are fighting in all sides and this hatred that you see is exactly what our country want you to see. Essentialization in this case ends the agency of the population. Do not go there. It's too dangerous.
Imperialism and neocolonialism are not conspiracies, they are real destruction that are facing all people in these regions and Israel is at the center. While the antisemitism of this region is real and must be fought, it's a consequences of a context of oppression regarding Israel's behavior in the region and not a cultural trait. As such, we must not essentialize population, no matter if they are jews or Mena.
Unlikely, the reason was most likely zionism and a consequence of the imperialism of the west through Israel. Not antisemitism.
The region had anti-jewish hostility, mostly religious and cultural forms of discrimination, but the antisemitism as we know as a racial form of oppression was influenced by European colonialism and the development of racism. As such, while discrimination existed like many confessions, colonialism created the main problem of antisemitism.
This is why I'm telling you, do not essentialize and instead look at the REAL systems of domination that feed these behaviors:
- Imperialism
- Neo-colonialism
Fighting antisemitic behaviors (in these regions specifically) without tackling the reason people fall into this hatred is like putting a patch on a sinking boat attacked by a warship.
You are confusing antisemitism with discrimination, mate.
You need to understand that racism (which is antisemitism) is a form of RACIAL domination BEYOND simple discrimination. It's exploitative and supremacist.
Hence, it's important to make the distinction and understand why racism, when it appears, was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BEAST than the discrimination lived by people of diverse confessions all over the world before it.

Again. No.
Colonialism is a very specific form of domination. You can't simply confuse that with conquests.
I think the problem is you not having the materialist lens to understand what I'm talking about. I'm willing to explain, but do not be pushy.
Colonialism is exploitative. It's a form of domination created by early capitalist and imperialist interests. You cannot confuse this with other form of geopolitical events.
There often cases of people surviving multiple such event. I've heard of a person surviving a bomb attack (I think) and 9/11

It really depends
Iran is not a secular state. It is a Shia theocracy. That inherently puts other religious groups below Shia islam.
Yeah I’d say Iran creates a culture of antisemitism and discrimination against other religious minorities, even if obviously not all Iranians support the brutal actions of the regime
