1-- th...I think that some of the reasons are these:<br />1-- the common misconception, apparently initiated by 19th century German Jewish historians, that the Arabs had been tolerant and protective towards the Jews in Arab countries. This myth is still and is now used against Jews and Israel. For instance, some have accused Jews of being ungrateful for the supposed centuries of Arab "tolerance."<br /><br />2-- The Communist world and the leftists generally wanted to see Arabs as part of the revolutionary vanguard and tolerant towards Jews [as above in #1]. Israeli leftists looked forward to making peace with the Arabs and did not want to raise any subject or issue that might thwart that goal. This was in addition to traditional marxist prejudices against the East, the Orient, that saw the Orient as inferior. This prejudice came to Marx and other socialists and marxists from German philosophers such as Kant and Hegel. At times, Mizrahi Jews were asked by Leftists why they had come to Israel since they had it so good in Arab lands. It goes without saying that in the context of Leftist beliefs in the 1950s and 1960s, Arabs were not supposed to have faults [such as persecuting minorities] or Islamic prejudices against dhimmis, etc. And a good Leftist was not supposed to say or even hint that Arabs had faults of any sort. <br />This Leftist position enunciated by such as Lenin and Stalin was reinforced by the propaganda in the 1940s and 1950s of Western powers such as the US & UK as to Arab innocence throughout history.<br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2007/07/embellishing-muhammad-islamic-conquests.html<br /><br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2014/07/professor-william-polk-academic.html<br /><br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-ottoman-empire-as-oppressive-state.html<br /><br />http://ziontruth.blogspot.com/2009/02/fashion-trend-is-was-to-cover-up.htmlEliyahu m'Tsiyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973268399414290195noreply@blogger.com
