While history is replete with examples of intolerance the fact remains as a society, culture and even as a religion, Jews did thrive under some parts of the caliphate- probably more so than they did overall under Christian rule- until much later.

Absolutely true. I love that era, and I believe it does demonstrate possibilities for a coexistence and cooperation in the modern world as well.

But claiming that anti-Semitism didn’t exist in the Middle East until the mid-twentieth century is just plain wrong, and also part of an explicit agenda.
