It's not bullshit.
Arabs massacred their Jewish neighbors in Palestine long before any Zionist ever shot a bullet.
Written by a Palestinian Jew of Safed about the Arab massacres of 1834:
"Now I have come to announce the large losses and afflictions that have been created in Israel in four countries, ie Jerusalem,and Hebron and the Upper Galilee, namely Safed. And the lower Galilee, namely the city of Tabriya. By the hands of the plunderers and looters that rose in the country. And they come only upon the Jews...
On Sunday, eight days in the month of Sivan, the looters, inhabitants of the villages joined with the inhabitants of the cities. They had weapons of war and shields and fell upon all the Jews and stripped their clothes from men and women. They expelled them naked from the city, and plundered all their property...
The remnants were coerced and raped whether men or women. Tore all the Torah scrolls, and their talit and tefilin and the city was abandoned... This was so for 33 days, so was done in the city of Safed, so was done in other towns."

Before Zionism: The shared life of Jews and Palestinians
Before the advent of Zionism and Arab nationalism, Jews and Palestinians lived in peace in the holy land. Menachem Klein’s new book maps out an oft-forgotten history of Israel/Palestine, and offers some guidance on how we may go back to that time.
I do concede there was major violence in 1834 at Safed. Muhammed Damoor was an asshole. But give me one example of major violence between the two groups from '34 and the Zionist migration. There were probably skirmishes, but nothing major. Even in the Hebron riots, which was started by Zionists, 429 Jews were saved by their Arab neighbors.Before the advent of Zionism and Arab nationalism, Jews and Palestinians lived in peace in the holy land.

Zionists moved into the area bringing with them racist, apartheid policies. Jewish terrorist groups drove out over 750,000 Arabs. And you expect them to say, "Thank you"?Here's another fact for You to deal with:
The initial steps in Political Zionism pretty much started as a response to Arab pogroms in Syria-Palestine. Long before a Zionist ever shot a bullet.
I don't know why you keep bringing up Jews? This has nothing to do with Judaism.The only difference between yesterdays pogroms and today, is that Jews have a military to protect themselves. And the Swastika waved at Israel from Gaza with the open calls to go to die and murder Jews - only shows the legitimacy of that call until today.
The difference between then and now, is that Israeli's (not Jews), are the new Nazis. Israeli's (not Jews), treat the Palestinians much like the Nazis did in the 10 years leading up to the Holocaust.
- you treat the Pals like they are inhuman
- you have government propaganda trashing them 24/7
- you blame all the problems of the country on them
- you're actively trying to purge them from the area
- your population thinks any atrocity committed on them is okay
Yeah, you're the new Nazis!
