In the narrative works of Arabs in Palestine in the late Ottoman period, as evidenced in the autobiographies and diaries of Khalil al-Sakakini and Wasif Jawhariyyeh, “native” Jews were often referred to and described as abnaa al-balad (sons of the country), ‘compatriots’, or Yahud awlad Arab (Jews, sons of Arabs).[4] When the First Palestinian Congress of February 1919 issued its anti-Zionist manifesto rejecting Zionist immigration, it extended a welcome to those Jews “among us who have been Arabicized, who have been living in our province since before the war; they are as we are, and their loyalties are our own.”[4]
Not to mention the PLO considers them Palestinians (and the funny fact that needed to reiterate this and remind people that it’s okay and normal to be both Jewish and Palestinian)
They may have written and spoken nicely of Jews like in other countries around the world. But like in other countries, Jews were still being massacred in pogroms.
Jews may have had some “breaks” from pogroms for some periods of time, but then it would happen again.
There are few countries where Jews weren’t being killed and persecuted, like India for example. The region where mandatory Palestine existed wasn’t one of those.
Yes massacres happened, but this is not the “big picture” of Palestinian Jews in Palestine predating Israel.
