Arabs were attacking Jews and Christians in the 1800's too!

Arguments:

The famous author John Steinbeck had a grandfather who was attacked in "palestine" while living on the Dickson farm. His name was Johnny Grossteinbeck and his brother Frederick was attacked by 5 Arabs on January 11, 1858, one year after the famous Herman Melville had left his home there.

Know your history!

Rebuttal:

So what? One man was attacked? Unfortunate, yes, but it could ust as easily have happened to him in the city of London.

You don't need history to figure that out. One mugging does not a pogrom make
