A Palestinian journalist, Radwan Abdullah, does not mince words: We Muslims do not merely hate Israelis; we hate all the Jews, who have been our enemies since the beginning of Islam. It’s useful to have such an explosion of candor, since so many in the West keep thinking that the enmity of the Palestinians and other Arabs can be solved by territorial concessions from Israel. But there is nothing the Israelis can do to end that Muslim Arab hate, except by disappearing. More on Abdullah’s article can be found here: “Palestinian Writer Says the Antisemitism Part Out Loud,” by Elder of Ziyon, Algemeiner, August 10, 2023:
Radwan Abdullah, a well-known Palestinian writer, has an article in Nidaal al-Watan, where he freely admits that he makes no distinction between Jews and Israelis. According to him, Jews are just as despicable today as they were in Mohammed’s time:
It is noted in many of the writings of media figures, and Arab intellectuals in general, that the hostility of the Jews to the Arabs and Muslims is limited to the occupation of Palestine. They ignore or forget the Jewish history of hostility to Islam and Muslims since the first cradle of Islam in Medina.
This thing, the enmity of course, which the Messenger of God Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, suffered from continued, even at intermittent periods, between the Jewish plots of the Prophet’s time, to their multiple misfortunes in more than one Arab country, with the incitement of states and emirates against other states and emirates, as Arab history has proven in several previous stages up to the catastrophe of Palestine and the subsequent massacres and calamities that they perpetrated in Palestine, Syria, Egypt and in several other Arab countries. They take advantage of their multiple nationalities and use their hateful malice and cunning to corrupt the land, starting from the areas of their presence in the Arab and regional countries and even the rest of the world. The Jewish hostility to Arabs and Muslims began since the dawn of Islam and was completed at the collapse of the Ottoman Sultanate, leading to the occupation of our dear homeland, Palestine….
It is the Jews of Israel who have had to fight three wars for their very survival, in 1948, 1967, and 1973, as well as a dozen lesser campaigns against the terror groups Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Israel never wanted war with the Arabs, but had it repeatedly thrust upon them. The “Jewish hostility” to “Arabs and Muslims” was always, in fact, a justified reaction to the hatred of Jews that the texts and teachings of Islam encourage. Radwan Abdullah has things backwards. It is not the texts and teachings of the Jews that are full of hatred for Muslims, but the texts and teachings of Islam that preach murderous hatred of the Jews. It was Muhammad’s Muslims who waged war on the Jewish tribes of Medina; Muhammad himself took part in decapitating between 600 and 900 members of the Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe. In his useful compilation Robert Spencer notes that “the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.”
The classic Qur’anic commentators do not soften the Qur’an’s words against Jews, but only add fuel to the fire. Ibn Kathir explained Qur’an 2:61 (“They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah”) this way: “This Ayah [verse] indicates that the Children of Israel were plagued with humiliation, and that this will continue, meaning that it will never cease. They will continue to suffer humiliation at the hands of all who interact with them, along with the disgrace that they feel inwardly.” Another Middle Ages commentator of influence, Abdallah ibn Umar al-Baidawi, explains the same verse this way: “The Jews are mostly humiliated and wretched either of their own accord, or out of coercion of the fear of having their jizya [punitive tax] doubled.”
Ibn Kathir notes Islamic traditions that predict that at the end of the world, “the Jews will support the Dajjal (False Messiah), and the Muslims, along with ‘Isa [Jesus], son of Mary, will kill the Jews.” The idea in Islam that the end times will be marked by Muslims killing Jews comes from the prophet Muhammad himself, who said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’” This is, not unexpectedly, a favorite motif among contemporary jihadists.
Radwan Abdullah continues:
Despite this, many Arabs and Muslims think and may believe that limiting the hostility to the Jews to the occupation of Palestine makes the occupation of Palestine a Palestinian issue only, as if the Palestinians alone are concerned with defending Palestine and perhaps all Arabs and Muslims. This is contrary to the truth.. Since we all know that the occupation of Palestine is intended to strike our Arab unity and our Islamic nation, in addition to displacing our people and stealing their homeland and its Christian and Islamic sanctities, and that the occupation of Palestine is nothing but an extension of the crusaders’ fierce campaigns against the Arab nation and Islam together, and it is actually an extension of the hostility of {the]Banu Qurayza…
From the very earliest years of Islam, the Jews were subject to the malevolent hatred of Muslims. The Jewish tribe of the Banu Qurayza in Medina was unwilling to submit to the early Muslims; the Muslims, therefore, felt justified in attacking them — murdering the men and enslaving the women. Muhammad always found the Jews the most steadfast in their opposition to him. Among the three most famous mockers of Muhammad whom his followers murdered — Asma bint Marwan, Abu ‘Afak, and Ka’b ibn-Al-Ashraf — the latter two were Jews.
As the Muslims saw it, the Prophet had offered the Jewish tribes the truth of Islam, and they had turned him down. The Jews under Muslim rule had only three options: to convert to Islam, to be put to death, or to accept the permanent onerous status of dhimmis, who had a host of economic, political, and social disabilities imposed on them, of which the most crushing was the jizyah, a capitation tax which allowed Jews to practice their religion without being subject to attack by Muslims — in essence, a form of extortion.
Those Arab propagandists who attempt to convince us that “if only” Israel were to make territorial concessions to the “Palestinians” that the Muslim Arabs would live in peace with the Jews in their much reduced state, are hoping we will ignore the contents of the Quran and hadith, ignore the 1400-year history of Muslim violence against the Jews who, as Infidels, are described in the Qur’an as “the most vile of created beings.” Radwan Abdullah is perfectly willing not to deny, but to openly state, the truth: the Muslim Arabs have hated Jews, and not merely Zionists, since the very beginning of Islam. As far as the Believers are concerned, the Jews have always been been evil, scheming thieves of Arab lands, intent on spreading “corruption” in the land. And the Muslim war against them must continue until they are everywhere overcome.
It is good to have an Arab writer who admits the truth.

The biggest enemy is projection. We need to stop projecting our values onto Muslims.
Siddi Nasrani says
100% True, our values are the opposite of theirs.
I have heard it said that what ever your enemy calls you, that are like that themselves, talk about projection.
As far as the Believers are concerned, the Jews ( Muslims) have always been been evil, scheming thieves of Arab( Infidel) lands, intent on spreading “corruption” in the land. And the Muslim (Infidel) war against them must continue until they are everywhere overcome.
Mo de Profit says
Absolutely true, they have none of our values really.
“ and use their hateful malice and cunning to corrupt the land, ”
I’m unfortunately stuck working in the east end of London this week which used to be a reasonably friendly neighbourhood, now it’s a shit hole. Like most of the UK cities which are now overrun by them.
Rachelle says
That’s the crux of the problem. Western countries project their values onto middle eastern countries and refuse to accept that they are not the same. The only country in the Middle East which is in any way western oriented is Israel. But Israel is not located in the west. It is located in the Middle East, and therefore we must act accordingly in terms of our own defense. The west needs to accept that. They probably never will.
underzog says
Quite right. It is perhaps occidental arrogance that makes so many of us believe that other peoples or even individuals thank as we do. An Islamic probably doesn’t think as we do; neither does a sociopath or a sadist.

Is he planning on primarying Ilhan Omar?

In Gaza there is a clothing boutique called “Hitler 2”. It features knife weilding mannequins. The owner was interviewed in a U tube video and he states the name was chosen because Hitler killed the most Jews and is therefore a hero to Palestinians. The “moderate” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (now entering the 20th year of his first four year term- Palestinian “democracy” has little use for formalities such as regularly scheduled elections) wrote his doctoral thesis denying the Holocaust.
I’m sure that if you showed a video of Hitler 2 to a garden variety wokeling sporting a Che Guevara t shirt and matching keffiyeh he/she/they would continue emit castrati shrieks of “Palestinians are ‘Anti-Zionist’, not antisemitic!”
TruthLaser says
Anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism have the aim of killing Jews. The trans-castrati would be in the background singing the right left tune.
Steve says
Before the Palestinians hurled s/he/they off a roof.
Guy Jones says
Ponder the arrogance of Muslim supremacist Jew-haters. The founder of the wretched, totalitarian, hate-filled and belligerent ideology of “Submission” blatantly ripped off and plagiarized Judaism and Christianity — its predecessors by millennia — yet, Submission’s adherents possess the outrageous gall to claim alleged and self-perceived victimhood and grievance against those older, pre-existing religions.
sumsrent says
The world needs to realize… satanic islam is NOT an Abrahamic religion…
Satanic islam is an extension of Baal worship… which has been around since the Tower of Babel…
sumsrent says
Not all Arabs have a problem with the Jews!
However… all satanic worshiping muslims do!
Call them for what they are… muslims! Islamist’s! Jihadists! Killers do the work for satan!
sumsrent says
Allah is a fake god!
Once worshiped as Hubal in Mecca in the satanic Black Cube… called the Kaaba!
Before Hubal was the “Chief god” in Mecca… it was known as Baal… whom Christ Jesus referred to as satan!
Baal = Hubal = Allah… <<< The same fake pagan god with a new name!
…
Additionally; know what your Holy Bible says…
The so called "false Messiah" of satanic islam, will be the Two Witnesses of the Book of Revelation…
Also…
"Isa" referred to as Jesus in satanic islam… is a fake Jesus… known as the False Prophet! This False Prophet will stand with the Antichrist on the Temple Mount… offering up prayers to the world… smashing the Cross… proclaiming satanic islam as the New World's Order's religion.
Jewish created Communism isn't the threat to this world…
Communism is just a smoke screen for satanic islamofascism… a totalitarian government cloaked in a religion!
Islamofascism is the real threat!!!

Sounds like someone want a job reporting the fake news at CNN

Mohammed was a misogyn, a vile woman hater, a paedophile and practiced beastiality. At the start of Islam, in any country of the middle east outside of Israel, Jews weren’t allowed the use of sidewalks, they were obligated to walk on streets, knees bent, that their heads wouldn’t rise above muslims’ heads. The 4 wives can’t work, neither can concubines, uncles can’t work since women must be escorted, in other words no one is supposed to lift a finger except Jews and Christians whom, in their Palestinian views in school books, are descendants, respectively, of monkeys and pigs. Look at TV and see who lives in pigsty countries, with a vengeance to anihilate every one of us. They come to kill, steal and destroy as the Bible says but never rebuild. In the crib they are told to hate us and should kill us. We work hard and feed our families and help those in need, This is what God says to do: to love our neighbours. I do not trust that religion, it decimates and loathes all things. To all: be mighty careful where you go if living in countries where this religion abounds. Wherever it is, one is walking on a mine field.

“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks!” Glad that the truth was finally spoken so people can see the truth!
Ed Snider says
It’s not a coincidence that absolute evil, whether Nazis, Soviets, or Khomeinists, see the Jews as their prime threat. Without the Jews as its moral center the world would become hell, as Europe was in the years when the Germans were making it judenfrei. If the Palestinians were suddenly to vanish en masse who would remember that there had ever been such awful people or lament their disappearance?
Tex the Mockingbird says
Dear Islam we dont want you Sharia Laws forced upon us just keep them to yourselves
John Keating says
Islam! A despicable ideology bent on destroying every socieyy which welcomed them, fed them, and housed them, only to be despised as infidels. What person of intelligence would actually believe the followers of this blatantly evil ideology would willingly integrate into an “infidel” host? The ignorance is staggering…unless, like Fidelito Castro-Trudeau, the plan is to destroy Canada, declare himself dictator. Farfetched? If he put up signs at the border saying that it would not be more obvious.
David says
The Jewish tribes turned Mohammed down because they were smarter than he gave them credit. Doesn’t take a genius to recognize a snake oil salesman when you see one.
Goh Heung Yong says
They are not Palestinians, but widespread acceptance of this fundamental lie leads to unprincipled tolerance of their genocidal agenda. Still calling them Palestinians ? Then only reality will continue to show the same consequences.
Hugh Jassol says
Anyone who has studied the history of Islam knows that Jew-hatred runs deep and started with Muhammad.
