As the existence of Israel is justified on the basis of previous occupation over 1000 years ago, any Muslim persecution within that time scale must be pertinent.
You can't have it both ways.
Like L.H. I am not taking sides, and am opposed to no one, but if Israel is to hold some special status based on their experiences, they can hardly object if others want the same privilege, based on theirs.
Otherwise, the playing field has to much of a slant for my liking.
