Well, thanks for reconfirming the fact that:
"Jewish settlement in Safed is attested by genizah documents from the first half of the 11th century. However, Benjamin of Tudela, who visited the city in 1170/71, stated that no Jews lived there."
and
"Toward the end of Mamluk rule the community was greatly strengthened by an influx of refugees from Spain (1492). In 1495 the Jews of Safed were reported as trading in spices, cheese, oil, vegetables, and fruits. The Sephardi element further increased after the Ottoman conquest in 1516. In 1522 R. Moses *Basola found 300 Jewish families in Safed, composed of Sephardim, Moriscos, and Jews from the Maghreb. Later, three groups emerged among the Jews of Safed: Sephardim, Ashkenazim, and Italians."
So, to recapitulate for Zionism's answer to the Mufti, Roufti.
1. There were probably no Jews at all before the middle of the 11th century in Safed.
2. Most of the Jews in Safed arrived from Europe (Sephardim /Moriscos).
3. Later, the three groups of Jews in Safed are confirmed to be: "Sephardim, Ashkenazim, and Italians." None appear to be from the Middle East.
You are doing a great job Roufti. LOL

Yes I'm doing a great job exposing you as a liar who mutilates documents. Because exactly fifty years later the community was again revived. Revived as in bring back what existed not too long before. What you posted shows that Jews started emigrating back to Safed in the 1500's eventually creating this majority Jewish community in the 1600's. Other communities such as Jerusalem always had a Jewish community which. So the migrations were ongoing for 2000 years like I said, and there was a somewhat rapid increase during the Ottoman Empire. And if the Ottomans were allowing Jews to come back to Israel it was because they believed it was the Jewish holy land.
So yes, you failed to prove that there were no Jews, in fact the became a majority in Safed, and in Jerusalem in the 1800's. Under the Ottomans, not the British or Europeans. Which is why you are a antisemitic lying dirtbag who intentionally cut out the 1400's to 1900's part that I added.
MonkeyNazi the false propagandist posing for the camera:
1. You are, as usual, making a fool of yourself. The only reliable surveyor stated there were no Jews from your link:"
Benjamin of Tudela, who visited the city in 1170/71, stated that no Jews lived there."
2. No where does your link it say there was a Jewish majority in Safed nor does it mention Jerusalem. It says it found 300 Jewish families in Safed. "*In 1522 R. Moses Basola found 300 Jewish families in Safed," hardly the majority. And later in your same link it states that in 1922 after the European Zionists had begun in hordes arriving the population mix was::
" In 1922 Safed's population of 8,760 was composed of 5,431 Muslims, 2,986 Jews, and 343 Christians. "
So your claim that Jews were a majority at any time is another example of your pathological lying. The sad thing is you actually post the text that proves you are a liar. Unbelievable.
In conclusion there is no lying on my part, just lying on your part when discussing a link you provided yourself. There is nothing antisemitic about presenting facts. I am getting tired of false accusations.
It's not "my" link, it's what YOU posted, which you conventionally avoided what the rest said, because it disproved everything you've been claiming. You do this all the time. Your gig is up, you have been exposed and humiliated so many times we lost count. Time to move this three man propoganda operation working out of the mosque basement to another website. Or all three of you can jump off a minaret.
Safed:
Jewish settlement in Safed is attested by
genizah documents from the first half of the 11th century. However, Benjamin of Tudela, who visited the city in 1170/71, stated that no Jews lived there. Fifty years later the settlement was revived under Mamluk protection; R. Zadok, head of an academy of the
gaon Jacob, was its most prominent member. *
Genizah documents confirm that there was a community at Safed in the 13th century; it continued to exist in the time of R. *Estori ha-Parḥi (early 14thcentury). In 1481 the Jewish community of Safed and of the villages in its vicinity numbered 300 families; it flourished under the protection of the Mamluk governors. Toward the end of Mamluk rule the community was greatly strengthened by an influx of refugees from Spain (1492). In 1495 the Jews of Safed were reported as trading in spices, cheese, oil, vegetables, and fruits. The Sephardi element further increased after the Ottoman conquest in 1516. In 1522 R. Moses *Basola found 300 Jewish families in Safed, composed of Sephardim, Moriscos, and Jews from the Maghreb. Later, three groups emerged among the Jews of Safed: Sephardim, Ashkenazim, and Italians. Among the prominent leaders of the community in the 16th century was R. Jacob (I) *Berab, who tried to reestablish the Sanhedrin and renew rabbinical ordination (*
semikhah). Other prominent rabbis included R. Joseph *Caro, the author of the Shulḥan Arukh, and his contemporary R. Moses *Trani. The leading kabbalist R. Isaac *Luria lived in Safed and his important disciple R. Ḥayyim *Vital resided there for some time. In the 16th century Safed was the center of Jewish mysticism (see *Kabbalah). The spiritual flowering of the town was accompanied by material prosperity. The newcomers established looms, whose products competed with those of *Venice. In addition the Jews of Safed traded in the local produce of Galilee: oil, honey, silk, and spices. They also received both Jewish and gentile pilgrims in their homes.
Turkish statistics of 1548 show Safed as the center of a district of 282 villages. Approximately 1,900 families of taxpayers lived in the town (716 of them Jewish), as well as 251 single taxpayers (only 56 of them Jewish). In 1563 the brothers Ashkenazi set up the first printing press in the town (see below); it was not only the first one in Ereẓ Israel but also the first in the Orient. The Jews of Safed had eight synagogues; they numbered their town among the Four Sacred Cities of the Holy Land, calling it also Beth-El. In addition to the Jewish community, Samaritans also lived there during the 16th century. With the gradual decline in the quality of Turkish rule in the 17thcentury, the prosperity of the Jewish community also began to drop off. The material decline did not immediately influence the spiritual level of the community. In spite of high taxes and 1,200 poor living on charity, there were 300 rabbinical scholars, 18 schools, 21 synagogues and a large yeshivah with 100 pupils, and 20 teachers at the beginning of the 17th century.
By the 19th-century, Safed had long been inhabited by Jews. It had become a kabbalistic centre during the 16th-century and by the 1830s there were around 4,000 Jews living there, comprising at least half the population.[12]Throughout their history, the Jews of Safed, though supported by the Porte, had been the target of oppressive exactions by corrupt local officials.

ISBN 978-1-136-27872-3. During the same rebellion the fellahs robbed the Jews of Tiberias and Safed "of immense property, as is reported, for there was no one to offer any opposition." An eyewitness has vividly described the pogrom-like attack of the villagers of Upper Galilee on the Jews of Safed on 15 June 1834. The Jews were stripped of their clothes and driven out of the town, the remaining women and youths were violated, the belongings of the Jews were looted and their holy articles were desecrated.
MonkeyNazi getting bitchslapped.
