>That means that would justify the persecution of the world's Jews and the general anti-semitic sentiment of the mainstream during that period?

Of course not. But they were persecuted. But the point is: Muslims are not. So your opinion that Muslims are in the same position as the Jews in 1915 is nonsense.

> which they did during the zionist insurgency, and are also doing today

I think that implying that what Israel does today is similar to the barbaric acts of constant mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, torturing, raping and beheading that is done by Isis is absurd.



>So your opinion that Muslims are in the same position

I didn't say we were. I said wewere moving to that position.

> I think that implying that what Israel does today is similar to the barbaric acts of constant mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, torturing, raping and beheading that is done by Isis is absurd

It is absurd and again i didn't imply it. Here is what you said :

>Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews.

and how i paraphrased it

>You are saying that if a small subset of Jews were blowing up, mass-murdering and terrorizing people

We can quibble over terminology, intentions, plausible deniability and collateral damage, but it is hard to deny that at a subset of Israeli actions can be reasonably construed as "blowing up, mass-murdering and terrorizing people".

Again my original point is :

ISIS isn't equal to all muslims same way zionist insurgent isn't equate to all jews.

Biggest victims of ISIS are muslims. So when you say "Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews" you are lumping all muslims together with isis which is frankly dangerous and abhorrent.

Your comment illustrates my original point. The Jews of 1915 were blamed by mainstream for lot of things they didn't do or had little to do with. Muslims as a group are being increasingly blamed for actions of a few people over which they have little/no control.
