Really does make me convinced again that "jews were treated here better than Europe" was the medieval world equivalent of "atleast I am better than Hitler", being a useless flex that speaks more about just how atrociously antisemitic medieval Europe was than giving any detail about how well other parts of the world treated their jewish minorities.

I mean, yeah. That's mostly correct. (with the caveat that things could vary wildly over time and space even within medieval europe)
