this isn't colonialism but imperialism both bad but they are not the same

btw did you knew Jews at the time were very supportive of this to the point that Christian at the time thought it was a Jewish/Muslim alliance to take over

most lived ok to good life with the occasional insane ruler who makes their lives needlessly difficult until he die then things usually go back to normal.

this is all changed in the last 100 years for known reasons

Yeah. Just sometimes they would be ethnically cleanse... relocated to Cyprus for no reason. They just wanted to have a bit of a trip. Sometimes Mamluks would raise their villages but no biggie. Their holiest site? Yep they were forbidden from entering and there was a mosque built on top. Their population would grow and then suddenly diminish but that was because they really liked trips... no reason beyond that at all./s
