Actually only since Zionists started trying to buy up land in Palestine (early 20th century). Before that Jews had been living peacefully in large numbers in the Islamic world for centuries. No pogroms in Baghdad or Damascus. Historically it's Christians and Jews who don't get on (or, more accurately, Christians who persecute Jews). Favourite Jew/Arab coxistence story; Maimonides was Saladin's personal physician.
