Why is the Arab-Israeli Conflict considered to be Anti-Semitic?

Answer 1

The Arab-Israeli Conflict is not often itself considered Anti-Semitic, but the way Zionism and Judaism are equated in rhetoric by both sides leads to massive amounts of Anti-Semitic rhetoric coming from Islamic Nations, especially Iran, Saudi Arabia, and pulpits in Egypt.

Anti-Semitic (and factually incorrect) rhetoric concerning the Arab-Israeli Conflict includes but is not limited to:

• Jews scheme and deceive by a matter of their nature
• Jews caused September 11th and other terrorist incidents around the world and then proceeded to frame innocent Muslims to make the world hate Muslims
• Jews control countries and nations like puppeteers and make non-Jews die for them and their desires
• Jews and Crusaders are the eternal enemies of Islam
• Jews "create" science which is used to destroy Islam
• Hollywood is a Jewish conspiracy to enslave peoples' minds
• A Muslim must commit eternal jihad against the Jew because of the Hadith which says "A Jew will hide behind a rock and the rock will say, come Muslim, kill this Jew who hides behind me!"
• Jews have malice towards all people and all things and seek only destruction of the Earth and property
• Jews are responsible for numerous diseases such as AIDS
• Jews are the only cause of international conflict
• Jews kill young Muslim children because of religious ritual. Some also speculate that they consume the blood of Muslim children in their Passover Matzah.

It is critical to note that all of these Anti-Semitic statements are not entirely believed but are quite readily found in the Islamic World and are ALL completely false.
