    From your link:

    According to lexicographer David ben Abraham al-Fasi (died before 1026 CE), the Muslim conquest of Palestine brought relief to the country’s Jewish citizens, who had previously been barred by the Byzantines from praying on the Temple Mount.

    That doesn’t sound like the Muslims drove the Jews out of Palestine or killed them all off, it just sounds like a change of government and one that treated Jews better than the previous one had.
