But not the Jews that lived in the area who stayed as Jews. Up to the mid 7C the Jews were not molested by the romans or Christians. Come the muslims and everyone in Palestine was forced into converting to islam or being killed. This resulted in the genocides and ethnic cleansings of Jews and Christians for 100 years until the muslims were the majority
What a clown you are. You really should stop posting bullshit. You are making a fool of yourself. You will write just about any bullshit until someone like me, that knows far more than you, posts the facts with links.
The Siege of Jerusalem by the Crusaders:
"Meanwhile, the crusaders had reached Jerusalem (June 7, 1099), and the siege had begun. The city was captured on July 15, with Godfrey entering it through the Jewish quarter, where inhabitants defended themselves alongside their Muslim neighbors, finally seeking refuge in the synagogues, which were set on fire by the attackers. A terrible massacre ensued; the survivors were sold as slaves, some being later redeemed by Jewish communities in Italy. The Jewish community of Jerusalem came to an end and was not reconstituted for many years, but the Jewish centers in Galilee went unscathed. However, the great community of Ramleh dispersed, as did that of Jaffa , so that overall the Jewish community in the Holy Land was greatly diminished.

Read your post again as it states that most of the Jews in Palestine went unmolested, it was the Jews in Jerusalem that faced the genocides
Where do you think Jerusalem was in? Sheesh.
Outstanding question. Bless you for your very fine mind in asking it so all can see the truth. Jerusalem was in JUDEA.

Jerusalem was the capital of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem and in Palestine, not Judea. Judea did not exist at the time of the siege of Jerusalem by the Crusaders. You people are thick.
Try looking in the mirror for the thick one, the latin kingdom of Jerusalem was a city state invented by some crusaders. Judea was in existence before the Roman Empire was thought of. And for your Information Judea was in Palestine.
