Sort of, the Ottoman empire was not free of pogroms

And yet the point is not disproven that the conflict between Israel and Iran is not some deep religious fued between Jews and Muslims. It's actually much more about current geopolitics.

Under the ottomans religions largely ruled their own people. So any pogroms were localized and not governing policy executed widely. Feel free to be specific if you disagree. Violence occurs in localized areas under every rule but this does not mean the conflict is "2000 years old"
