A new mass grave has been discovered at al-Shifa Hospital where a two-week siege by the Israeli army has turned the facility into a graveyard and put what was once Gaza’s largest medical complex out of service.

Different peoples were expelled from Palestine at different times. You're going to have to be more specific.

Well rather than summarizing the entire history of the region, maybe you can specify which period you felt embodied this spirit of coexistence? Perhaps I am simply unaware but I cannot think of such a time period. Peace often exists in the gaps of history as we perceive it, because the noteworthy events are often quite violent. So it’s possible I am missing the full picture.

By the way, I fully agree that this should be the goal—I just don’t think the implication that things were totally peaceful and pluralistic prior to the advent of Zionism is accurate. That may not have been what you were saying, but I’ve seen it often enough that I feel it needs some pushback or clarification.

One could tenuously make an argument that it was somewhat the case under Ottoman rule, in that non-muslims were much less oppressed than minority religious groups in other countries at that time.

But the conditions for non-muslims even then would still be considered an apartheid state by modern standards.
