    From what I understand, Jews and Muslims were peacefully coexisting in the region before colonial powers decided to set up Israel following WWII. Obviously more history than that though, idk.

      Yes, the Jewish migration to Israel began before WW2, after the British got the region from the ottomans. During this period there was some violence, but the British tried to keep it in check
