Answer 1

There can be peace between Jews and Muslims. There should be no war as a result of religion as everyone has a right to worship any god they choose.

Answer 2

If we are speaking purely on religious grounds, there can certainly be peace at a personal and communal level between Jews and Muslims. There is no need for a necessary hatred or animosity. In the United States and Canada, Jews and Muslims generally get along well, even though they may have political disagreements.

If we are using "Jews" and "Muslims" as euphemisms for the Israelis and the Arab World respectively, then it is much more complex. In terms of achieving peace in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, a number of things would have to take place before a long-standing peace (as opposed to a mere cessation of hostilities) could take place. There are other requisites, but there are the most important.

1) Mutual Recognition: Israel would need to recognize a completely independent and sovereign Palestinian Government that would fully control a certain amount of the former British Mandate of Palestine (most likely Gaza and the West Bank). Israel would also have to confer on this state the unambiguous nature of being correct and necessary for Israel. Conversely, Palestine would have to recognize the Right for Israel to Exist as a Jewish State occupying the remaining amount of the British Mandate of Palestine (most likely 1949-Israel). Both sides would have to recognize the historical and emotional value that the land also has to the other.

2) Regional/International Recognition: States that have adopted attitudes strongly favoring one side at the expense of the other, such as the Arab States would need to recognize the legitimacy of both Israel and Palestine.

3) Israeli Reparation Payments: Israel dispossessed many Palestinians of their property, either by malicious activities that took place during the Arab-Israeli Wars or by Ben-Gurion refusing to let Palestinians who left return after the 1948-9 War. Israel needs to pay the Palestinian government reparations for the land that was taken in this way.

4) Israeli Withdrawal from the Settlements: Israel must withdraw from the Settlements to provide Palestine with a viable infrastructure and complete sovereignty. The Settlers must return to Israeli territory. The buildings, however, should be left as partial payment of the above-mentioned reparations.

5) Palestinians Must Concede Right of Return: Recognizing the State of Israel as a Jewish State is meaningless if Palestinians en masse are allowed to Return to Israel. Therefore, Palestinians (and their backers) must abandon the notion that they can ever return to Israeli territory. Palestinians should leave the refugee camps and become proper citizens in this new country of Palestine.

6) Jerusalem Must Be Shared or Internationalized:Palestine and Israel both want Jerusalem and the only way to solve this is either divide the city East/West respectively and divide the Old City or Internationalize the City or some combination of Internationalization and division. Neither side will rest until it can assure its followers that its holy sites will be protected.

7) Liberal Thought: Just in general, people have to be willing to compromise and live with that compromise.

What did the holy prophet do to create peace between the Jews and Muslims is Medina?

When Muhammad came to Medinah - where there were several Jewish tribes - he had a covenant written between the Muslims and the Jews prescribing mutual cooperation and respect. He enjoined freedom of religious practice for the Jews there. Unfortunately, the treaties which were written did not last. The peace between the Muslims and Jews did break down. Ultimately, there were hostilities. However, the rule in Islam is that freedom of religious practice is to be maintained for all non-Muslims. That is what has been done most of the time in Islamic history.

How do Jews say peace be upon you?

Jewish viewAs a greeting, we say "Shalom Alechem" when we meet people such as friends and fellow Jews. This does mean Peace be upon you. But we don't use it in reference to prophets, as Muslims do. They say "Mohammad (PBUH)" which means Peace be upon him or Praise be upon him. Muslim viewMuslims greet each other by saying "assalmu aleikom" that means peace upon you or they simply say "salam" that means peace. Jews say "Shalom Alechem" that means also peace upon you or they simply say "shalom" that means also peace. So, both Muslims and Jews say same words but in Arabic and Hebrew; respectively.
