PEACEFUL PALESTINE PRIOR TO ISRAEL *************************************************** From all that I read it is becoming apparent that really the ethnic tensions between Arabs and Jews in Palestine only started with the advent of Zionism and the European Jewish immigration that resulted from Zionism. Tensions started to grow circa 1917 onwards when heavy Jewish immigration from Europe and the Balfour Decleration had made clear to the Arabs that their land was being given away to a foreign people. Here is a film from 1896 apparently showing Jews, Muslims and Christians living side by side and it backs up all the reading I have done on the matter https://facebook/photo.php?v=695826507175143
