Why do so many Muslims hate Jews?
So many of the reasons I hear are so egregiously offensive and untrue... We do not drink anybody's blood, we don't control the world, we are not devils,etc... In fact, drinking blood and murder are strictly against Jewish law, and anybody who does either is disgusting.
Just as you guys can't stand Islamophobia, this kind of stuff is disgusting.
I think it's because the extremists control the television, etc, and put this propaganda about Jews and Israel on the TV and web sites.
Also, unlike some will have you believe, Zionism's ONLY idea is that Jews should have a homeland, just like everybody else. That's the only idea in Zionism, I know many are misinformed on this.
And Israel is NOT trying to destroy Al-Aqsa to rebuild our 3rd Temple, because that's against Judaism. We cannot rebuild the Temple, it will descend from heaven when the Messiah comes.
Well first off, I'd like to say that really appreciate all your answers, and I mean that.
I'm sorry if I offended any of you with the title of the question, I didn't mean to generalize.
Also, I understand that there are problems in Gaza, I really do. But there is also the other side of the equation, many Jews, children, adults, who get murdered by suicide bombers. I don't condone the intentional killing of ANY civilian.
Molly_Ragdoll: I understand what you're saying, but the entire city of Jerusalem is the most sacred place in Judaism.
Molly: (cont'd) I also disagree with some of the things you said, some of it is historically not true. But I appreciate your answer.

Rafah: I was not talking about American media, I was referring to Arab media, which I have seen portraying Jews as devils who drink the blood of non-Jewish babies, which, needless to say, is offensive and untrue.
Also, complared to other countries in similar situations, Israel has committed the least amount of civilian casualties. You also don't mention the thousands of Jewish children who were murdered by Hamas over the past few decades.
Also, Rafah, I have been to Israel, I spent 10 days there a few months ago.
Un D: What you said IS propaganda. We do not control the American media. If we did, there wouldn't be so many leftist, anti-semitic news anchors! That is just not true. But thank you for the answer :)

because the jews who knew mohammad from birth wouldn't believe mohammad was a prophet of a god. so mohammad turned on them. the 4 jewish tribes of medina had heard mohammad preaching some of the peaceful meccan verses of the quran and invited him to their village. after the meccans got feed up with mohammad talking trash about their gods .mohammad sneaked out of town but when the people of medina wouldn't accept him as a prophet he killed and enslaved all the jews of medina.the very people that invited him to their homes.

Because they are confusing Jews, Israelis and Zionists. Which is what Zionism wants (it's all working for their interest). And it's true that Jews and Zionist puppets are controlling the American media. Look it up there's nothing offensive or untrue about that. Some people aren't politically charged but most are trying to push through the Zionist agenda.
Do you honestly believe Israel shouldn't be hated. I won't say they stole the land because I know you won't listen and don't agree, but are they not stealing the land now with the settlements and with the support of IDF soldiers??!! Is that not an ongoing crime? There is no "propaganda" about it. All facts. They are oppressing and entrapping Palestinians and expects them to shut up bend over and take it.
I am with you that we should never hate Jews. On the contrary I relate to them more than Christians because we are the closest religions to each other in terms of both beliefs and practices. But don't try to make out that Israel is a peaceful country. I know people in Tel Aviv are secular urban metropolitan type of people who don't care about politics, but that doesn't make it okay. It's actually worse.
I can't stand Islamophobia and I can't stand Judeophobia, but I also can't stand Zionism either and will never see the past suffering of Jews as a justification for Israel's ongoing crimes and Zionism's political agenda.

I don't hate Jews. I hate Zionists. And not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews.
"I think it's because the extremists control the television, etc, and put this propaganda about Jews and Israel on the TV and web sites."
LOL! What "television" have you been watching, buddy? You got this all mixed up, you poor thing. "Israelis" are always portrayed as these innocent angels in the media. Palestinians use some freaking "rockets" in defense and they get called "TERRORISTS!" But, the Zionists have been using guns, missiles, tanks, planes, etc. on the Palestinians for decades, and no one says a thing. These "extremists" who control the television are the Zionists. They kill thousands of Palestinian men, women, and children, and that's supposed to be fine... but, when Palestinians kill two Israeli soldiers, they get called terrorists and the media broadcasts it everywhere!!!
Have you ever even been to Palestine?!

Just as the West spreads fear, propoganda and conspiracy theories against the Muslims, the Muslims do the same to the Jews. We don't like people generalizing us, so we shouldn't do that to anyone else, especially not the People of the Book (Christians and Jews). But there's this culture of hating and obsessing over Jews within the Muslim community and this is mainly because of Palestine of course.
I'm a Muslim and i do not hate Jews. I just don't like those zionist ones. But at the same token i understand why they would be so fanatical about having their own country since they've always suffered at the hands of someone else throughout history. But still, that doesn't justify what they are doing.

well you should ask yourself first
"why do so many jews hate Muslims?"
we don't necessarily hate jews and that's sort of being racist and stereotypical. As for the situation that is going in Palestine and how innocent children are being killed for it, that's what we hate. Have you seen what is going on over there? does anyone have a heart to stop all of that? the jews are dehumanizing the Palestinians Children have no fathers or mothers, wives are widowed, people are living hell over there. i can go on and on about the current situation but clearly it will make no difference because you might still think that we hate Jews.

Because they took Palestine from them, the Palestinians owned that area for hundreds of years after the Romans ran the Jews out. Then, all of a sudden after WW2 the Jews become the owners of Palestine. Israel has taken a lot of land from the Muslims, and you can't really blame them for resenting them so much, considering they have Jerusalem, which is considered the second most important Muslim holy place.

Salam,
Welcome, some bread sure here you go, some cheese, fine, some water and tea, of course.
Do do I have to pay you interest still?
I also have this letter from Israel Government that says they are either going to get off my grandfathers land or pay every Arab 50,000 dollars USA in my family. I don't see that yet, so you tell me what the problem is?
One of your boys told me I better learn how to shut up or he is going to turn off my internet and TV, that he and the jews own the media and control it? Well that was pretty scarey, no?
Can you tell me why you are bothering people on the banks of your so call country telling them to get out or you guys will come back at night and kill the whole family? Well that is pretty scarey too, no?
What would you do?

According to the Bible, Sarah (Abraham's wife) was childless, yet desired a son. She offers her maidservant Hagar to Abraham as a surrogate. Customs of the time dictated that, although Hagar was the birth mother, any child conceived would belong to Sarah and Abraham.[4][7]
Hagar became pregnant and was proud of herself, which resulted in harsh treatment of her by Sarah. Hagar fled and ran into the wilderness, where an angel appeared to her by a spring of water.[4] The angel of the Lord told her to return, adding that God would increase her descendants through a son whose name would be Ishmael. The angel told Hagar that Ishmael would become "a wild donkey of a man" and would be in constant struggle with others.[4]
So Hagar returned to Abraham's house, and had a son whom she named Ishmael.[4] Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born.[8] Abraham, obeying God's commandment, circumcised Ishmael, this occurred when Ishmael was thirteen.[9] That year, Abraham's wife Sarah became pregnant with his second son, Isaac.[4] One day Sarah was angered by seeing Ishmael playing or "mocking" (the Hebrew word is ambiguous[10]),[2] and she asked Abraham to expel him and his mother, saying: "Get rid of that slave woman and her son, for that slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac."[4][11] Abraham initially refused to do as Sarah asked.[2] He finally gave in to his wife's request when God told him that it was through Isaac that Abraham's offspring would "be reckoned", and that He would "make Ishmael into a nation", too, since he was a descendant of Abraham.[9][12] Abraham provided Hagar and her child with bread and a bottle of water and sent her into the desert of Paran.[9][13] Hagar, with her son, wandered in the wilderness and ran out of water. When they were reduced to great distress, an angel appeared and showed Hagar a spring of water saying "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."[9][14]

you being a Jew know nothing about what Israel is doing?
don't try to show a wrong image. i know what is the wishful thinking of Israel. they can't see Muslims.
you say we should love you. it is like i come and kill one of your family member everyday and then i ask you to love me.
Palestinians are our brothers. stop killing them and give them their land back. forget greater Israel. for greater Israel many Muslim countries yet need to be killed.
stop it and then we will love you.
