You deserve a factual look at.. .' Muslim Arab Anti-Semitism Why ft mains peace eery difficult - almost impossible Anti-Stmitism has often and rightfully been called the longest hatred, the oldest prejudice. It has plagued Europe for a very longtime and has, over the centuries, brought untold suffering to the Jewish people. Its most deadly expression was the Nazi Holocaust, which caused the death of 6 million Jews and extinguished ancient civilizations in much of Europe. So terrible, so evil were those events that anti-Semitism was shunned and repudiated by the civilized world.

What art me facts? Anti-Semitism is integral to Muslim culture. But while anti-Semitism has indeed been shunned by the civilized world, things are quite different in the Muslim/Arab world because anti-Semitism is an integral part of their religion and culture. The Muslim countries are the only places in the world in which anti-Semitism is publicly endorsed and where it flourishes. The Koran abounds in anti-Semitic

statements. An expression of that hatred toward Jews is imbued in Muslim children from an early age. It is the fate of Jews in Muslim lands. For

centuries they were tolerated, but only in the submissive capacity of “ dhimmis ” - second class citizens. They were subjected to countless humiliations, bizarre rules of conduct and clothing and in many cases to assaults and pogroms. When the state of Israel was founded in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Jews in Muslim lands had to flee for their lives or were driven from their homes, where they had lived, in most cases, for centuries. When Israel emerged victorious from the 1967 Six-Day War, virtually all of the remaining Jews were expelled - from Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Algeria and Morocco, in those countries, virtually no Jews remain today. The vast majority of them wound up in Israel where they and their descendants form a large part of the population and are fully integrated, of course. Compare that to the Palestinian refugees, who, mostly at the urging of their leaders, fled the nascent Jewish state in 1948. Their descendants; who have now miraculously increased to 5 million, still live today in miserable refugee camps, at the dole of the world - mostly of the United States, of course. Adolf Hitler's book Mem Kampf, which is prohibited in Germany, is, in Arab and Farsi translations, a perennial best seller in Muslim countries. So is the fraudulent invention The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Muslim world is the only place in which those scurrilous books are readily

Israel has tried for over 60 years to come to terms with its Arab-Muslim neighbors. But it is difficult to make peace with those who think of them as sons of pigs and apes. In the words of Hezbollah’s secretary general, Hasan Nasrailah, who declared: ‘lf we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak or feeble, we would not find anyone like the Jew.’ How can one make peace with such people, with hatred Klee that?

lionized their killers, named streets or buildings after them or encouraged their children to emulate them. That is, however, standard practice in the Muslim world. To kill Jews, to become a martyr, is the highest goal and promises immediate access to a paradise of unbelievable pleasures. Many people believe that the existence of the state of Israel is the cause of this hatred and that Muslim antiSemitism would disappear if the Jewish state would disappear. But that is not true. As former "refusenik” and Jewish Agency Chairman, Natan Sharansky, has said: “The Jewish state is no more the a use of anti-Semitism today than the absence of the Jewish state was a century ago.” Hatred of Jews is an integral part of Arab/Muslim culture and did not come about with the creation of the Jewish state. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, ffej Amin al-Husseini, at that time the highest Islamic authority in that part of the world, was a staunch and steadfast ally of the Nazis, a trusted accomplice of Hitler. He personally raised SS Wallen troops among the Bosnian Muslims and promised the Nazis that he would folly cooperate with than in the extermination of the Jews in (he Middle East. That was in the 1930's - 20 years before the creation of Israel. One shudders to imagine what the Arabs would have dooe to the Jewish residents of the area if Ok Nazis had come out victorious in World War 11.
