I know about that.
But I don’t think the Islamic world would be so angry at the Jews if not for the occupation.
Like yeah, antisemitism always existed in the Muslim world. But I don’t think it was the same as it is currently. Where Pakistani terrorists came down to Mumbai specifically to kill Jews.

Israel really is unlucky surrounded by Islamist Countries though.
They have to put the dominating side out for their whole existence.
Yeah that’s true. But there was a certain point where it stopped being about Jewish liberation and just turned into imperialism.
The Israelis don’t need Gaza or the West Bank. But because the latter was the site of Judaea and Samaria, a lot of radical Jews want to conquer the land from the Arabs and symbolically restore the ancient kingdoms.
The most radical ones event want to destroy Al Aqsa to rebuild the third temple.
To me, while there are surely similarly radical people on the Arab side, if not for the jewish extremists, I think there could have been a peace deal.
Does that hold the Jews to a higher standard? Yeah. But then again, that’s the entire point of judaism.

[5.82] Certainly you will find the most violent of people in enmity for those who believe (to be) the Jews and those who are polytheists, and you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: We are Christians; this is because there are priests and monks among them and because they do not behave proudly.

I don’t know enough about Islam to comment on this.
But I doubt that the Quran suggests Muslims should engage in wanton terrorism against Jews or polytheists.
If there are any Muslims here who know more about this, please feel free to chime in.
