Theocracies, who would've thought. If it were Muslims with power fighting for their promised land or whatever and it were occupied by Jews, they'd do the exact same thing. Just like Christians did during the crusades and colonialism, slave trade and so on.
The people who committed the Armenian genocide were secularist nationalists acting during a time of Ottoman weakness.
This is what two Jewish sources one historical and one modern had to say about the Muslim Conquest of the Levant:
Above quote is from Wikipedia, here's an article about it: https://www.academia.edu/5768249/Nistarot_Rabbi_Shimon_b_Yohai
And next is a quote from Ben-Gurion himself:
An interesting post about the indigeneity of Palestinians reviewing a book by Israeli historian Shlomo Sand https://blogs.umb.edu/joinercenter/2012/10/09/review-of-shlomo-sand-the-invention-of-the-jewish-people-london-verso-2009-translated-by-yael-lotan/
The comment I replied to is both-siding genocide. I am keeping it because it gave me a chance to share relevant historical information. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that while the Torah condones genocide (story of Amalek), the Quran doesn't. Of course there has been brutal Muslim leaders and their brutality extended to Muslim religious leaders and scholars, as is typical with any government unfortunately.
