Answer 1The harsh treatment of Jews in Europe and in the Arab World resulted in Jews seeking to create a state of their own wherein they would be the majority and able to determine their own fate. As a result, they chose to converge on their ancestral homeland, Israel. Unfortunately, there was already an endemic Arab population on that land. This led to a number of conflicts between the Jews who were immigrating en masse to the area and the Arabs who were afraid that they would lose control of the land. This eventually led to the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949 which resulted in the departure/expulsion of 720,000 Arab Refugees, now termed Palestinians. Answer 2
  • The Jews were never mistreated in any of Arab countries. Till now, there are Jewish temples in many Arab countries; including Egypt. When the Christians got control of Spain they treated harshly the Jews and then they fled to Morocco where they were treated respectively and justly. Arabs or Muslims never were against Jews and/or Christians.
  • The Palestinians are living in the lands now called Israel long time before the Jews settled in Palestine.
  • In 1917 the British government issued the "Balfour Declaration" promising the Zionist Organization support for the establishment of "a national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine on behalf of the Palestine State.
  • Palestine was then occupied by the British
  • Accordingly, the Jews immigrants from Europe expelled the Palestinian from their homelands (who are currently refugees in many neighboring countries) and the UN issued the decree of partitioning the Palestinian land into two states: Israel and Palestine. However, the Israel state was established while the Palestinian state not yet established.

How did Jews in Europe view the crusades?

Jews in Europe were fearful of the Crusades, mostly because the Crusaders had been driven to the point of fanaticism and often took that out on Jewish communities in Europe or the Middle East. The number of attacks on Jewish ghettos skyrocketed during the years of the Crusades and Jews, unable to legally defend themselves or procure arms, were often slaughtered.

Did everyone in the Middle Ages have to be Catholic?

Not really, but pretty much they were. There were times when the Jewish population of an area were told to leave or killed ( many of Columbus crew were Jewish because they had to meet a deadline in Spain for leaving). In Venice a bell tower was built at St. Marks square that rang at sundown telling the Jewish population that they needed to be behind the gates of the ghetto where they lived. So, the Muslim and Jewish populations were there, but not treated very well.2nd Answer: Protestant Christianity did not arise until after the end of the medieval period. The churches of western and northern Europe were Roman Catholic. Churches of some parts of Eastern and Southern Europe were Orthodox. The two churches formally divided in 1054 over a variety of issues.There were Jewish populations in Europe at various times and places in the middle ages. Also, Muslims had conquered the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century, and were not fully driven out by Christians until 1492. During the early middle ages there were still pagan populations in Europe, but these converted or were conquored over time. Most areas of Europe were Christian by the 12th century, although a few areas held out somewhat longer.
