Does Islam promote the hate of Jewish? A very traditional question with No as an answer. Anti-Semitic is a cliche used for political purposes against anybody to criticize the action of Israel against Palestinian people. Zionism is a political movement, not a religion, and criticizing people with Zionist ideology isn’t anti-Antisemitism. The state of Israel is a Zionist state, not even biblical, but again, another opportunist comes up with an idea to use religion for a political purpose. It reminds me of Muslims using Islamophobia to hide their bad behaviors and ignorance. Many Jewish groups refuse the idea of the state of Israel and consider it a rough idea against the Torah and Old Testament.
The Arab nationalist emerged in the scene with a promise to annihilate Jewish people and throw them in the sea. After the surge of Egypt Jamal Abd Al Naser, Nationalism turned into a cult-like all other religions with a central figure enjoying popularity and charisma. Meanwhile, before that period, Jewish people all over the Middle East enjoyed a good relationship with their neighbors. On the Sabbath, Jewish neighbors will do some jobs and tasks as Torah forbids Jewish from work on that day. Arabs and Jewish families exchange children at daycare when it’s necessary. When Palestinians are evicted from their homeland by force, they trust a Jewish neighbor on their home keys and to maintain their property.
Back in history, Jewish fled from the Inquisition courts in Spain and toke refuge in Muslim countries in North Africa. Countries like Morocco and Tunisia are heavily populated with an active Jewish population with full rights as citizens. Jewish doctors occupied prominent positions during the Abbasid Caliphate, worked as private doctors for several Abbasid Caliphs. And even before during the Omayyad Caliphate. The work of Jewish scholars and doctors was appreciated.
As far as it goes with the Anti-Semitic, it was all over Europe, Christianity in itself considered Anti-Semitic. This ideology was used by ruthless European rulers starting from the eleventh century up to WW2 to harass, discriminate and prosecute Jewish people. Catholic Church was against Jewish because they were the murderers of Christ. Moreover, they accept the guilt as in Math 27:25( All the people answered, “His blood is on us and our children!.) The Catholic Church during the Second Vatican Council freed the Jewish people from this guilt based on the number of OT verses, Exodus 20:5 and 34:7, Numbers 14:18. However, the Anti-Semitic is rooted deep in European culture. William Shakespeare wasn’t a Muslim and wasn’t on good terms with the Jewish. He wrote the merchant of Venice to express his bitterness against Jewish. Several European kings force Jewish to exile or discriminate against them. Muslims play no rule in all of that.
