Original Note:
This is untrue. At times, Jews living under Muslim rule faced segregation, bans, expulsion, massacre, and forced conversion long before the founding of modern Israel. E.g., the 1839 Allahdad incident in Mashhad, Iran, the 1840 Damascus Affair, the 1679 Mawza Exile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allahdad https://www.jpost.com/cafe-oleh/ask-the-expert/the-double-lives-of-mashhadi-jews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_under_Muslim_rule# https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-treatment-of-jews-in-arab-islamic-countries
