Yep, any far right authoritarian government does that shit.
Half the people the nazis killed in concentration camps werent even Jewish. They hated anyone that was “different” by any number of metrics.
Just like Israel’s far right government doesn’t just hate Muslims from Palestine, they hate Christians or any other religion just as much.
Muslims are just the group the least amount of powerful people care about, like how the Jewish people were in that position 80 years ago.
They always start with the population that has the least defense, but they’ll expand their targets as soon as they think they can.
Like old school KKK in America, they hated a lot more than just Black people in their hey day, but as they lost power they stopped going after the other groups and now focus on the ones with the least defenses/support.
It’s important for people to know this shit, because history shows us people keep falling for it.
Lots of different things have been discovered.
Like, it was news when it was discovered we lived at the same time, it was news that we lived in the same place.
Now it’s news that we lived at the same place in the same time.
Later it’ll be news that we lived together with them not just next to each other.
That’s how science works. You prove something easy, then prove something a little harder as more evidence is discovered and research done.
We already “knew” it because we know interbreeding happened, but it’s not the same as finding evidence of them coexisting.
So you might also be remembering a hypothesis that is now being proven.
That’s why so much science sounds like it’s repetitive.
