Actually the Arabs did chastise their Jewish populaces due to hostility created by the countless wars. However like I said incidents like this are relatively recent compared to any other experiences the Jews may have experienced at the hands of the Europeans and definitively less violent.
Not really , jews have been under the "gun" all along , just google "pogroms"
Romans
Philo witnessed and described the Alexandrian pogroms against Jews in Alexandria in 38 CE
Medieval
Massive violent attacks against Jews date back at least to the Crusades such as the Pogrom of 1096 in France and Germany (the first "Christian" pogroms to be officially recorded), as well as the massacres of Jews at London and York in 1189–1190.
During the Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain, beginning in the 9th century, Islamic Spain was more tolerant towards Jews.[19] The 11th century, however, saw several Muslim pogroms against Jews; notably those that occurred in Cordoba in 1011 and in Granada in 1066.[20] In the 1066 Granada massacre, the first large pogrom on European soil, a Muslim mob crucified the Jewish vizier Joseph ibn Naghrela and massacred about 4,000 Jews[21] In 1033 about 6,000 Jews were killed in Fez, Morocco by Muslim mobs.[22][23] Mobs in Fez murdered thousands of Jews in 1276,[24] and again, leaving only 11 alive, in 1465.[24][25]
In Europe in 1348, because of the hysteria surrounding the Black Plague, Jews were massacred by Christians in Chillon, Basle, Stuttgart, Ulm, Speyer, Dresden, and Mainz. By 1351, 60 major and 150 smaller Jewish communities had been destroyed.[26] A large number of the surviving Jews fled to Poland, which was very welcoming to Jews at the time.[27]
In 1506, after an episode of famine and bad harvests, an enormous pogrom happened in Lisbon, Portugal,[28] in which more than 500 "New-Christian" (forcibly converted Jews) people were slaughtered and/or burnt by an angry Christian mob, in the first night of what became known as the "Lisbon Massacre" or "Lisbon's great massacre of 1506".[citation needed] The killing continued for almost a week, almost eliminating the entire Jewish or Jewish-descendant community residing in that city. Even the Portuguese military and the king himself had difficulty stopping it. The event is today remembered with a monument in S. Domingos' church.
Tens of thousands of Jews were massacred by Cossacks in Ukraine during the Khmelnytsky Uprising of 1648–1657,[29] and thousands more during the Koliyivshchyna in 1768–1769.
