Question

creation of the state of israel in 1948?

So many jews left Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and fled to Israel. If these jews remained where they were, there wouldn't be enough jews in israel to sustain the state of israel. It was wipespread anti-semitism that drove them to abandon everything and run to a place where they felt it would be safe from onslaught.

JayDubz: If antisemitism have nothing to do with anything, then why is there a need for all these jews to flee their homes, abandon everything and run to a place (Israel) where they won't be persecuted for being jews? Not all jews in israel in 1948 came from Europe. However, when the war started, so many jews (native to the middle east) fled the other middle eastern countries and settled in Israel, which strengthen israel's position.

muslims are not semitic people. Muslims are people who pratice the religion of islam. Arabs on the other hand are semitic people, but antisemitism refers solely to the hatred against the jews.

I'm talking about the term "antisemitism". Please look up the term "ANTISEMITISM". Its in the dictionary.

freezedried001500: Please look up the word "Antisemitism". Not "semite". I know what the word semite means. Semite doesn't just mean jews, it refers to arabs as well. But the word "antisemitism" refers solely to the hatred against jews.

Answer 1

Omar, the caliph who succeeded Mohammed, delineated in his Charter of Omar the twelve laws under which a dhimmi, or non-Muslim, was allowed to exist as a "nonbeliever" among "believers." The Charter codified the conditions of life for Jews under Islam -- a life which was forfeited if the dhimmi broke this law. Among the restrictions of the Charter: Jews were forbidden to touch the Koran; forced to wear a distinctive (sometimes dark blue or black) habit with sash; compelled to wear a yellow piece of cloth as a badge (blue for Christians); not allowed to perform their religious practices in public; not allowed to own a horse, because horses were deemed noble; not permitted to drink wine in public; and required to bury their dead without letting their grief be heard by the Muslims.

Answer 2

First please nicely suited your self ! Jews are no longer the only semites. Muslims too are Semites. in reality the Arabs are the cousins of Jews i.e. born to Ismail, who grew to become into the a million/2 brother to Ishaq (Isaac). sure you may argue that why Muslims are Anti Jewish ? - i assume the respond isn't basic. The commencing place of the conflict began with land profession and accelerated into faith and all different guidelines to the quantity that the unique root reason is now generally much less popular. - as regards on your question. there's a false impression between the Muslims that the land of Israel belongs to them and that the Jews are hated by utilizing God and are **Conspirators** and can be condemned and killed close to the Judgment day. in basic terms about all those misconcepts have their roots and origins in the Hadith books. Which regrettably are recognised as canonical literature to Islam. mutually as in easily they're **no longer**. The Quran explicitly publicizes the land of Israel to be belonging to Jews. Ref. 17:104. a similar verse additionally tells that God will pull them (Jews) out of the international locations of the international and assemble them in this land. It additionally tells that it is going to likely be for some final prophecy / ies. even regardless of the undeniable fact that the prophecy won't be sparkling in the Quran. regrettably the Muslims do no longer study the Quran nor do they stick to it. And while a conflict issue comes up, the extremists aspects interior them tend to discover each and all the excuses and motives to function gas to the fireplace via unreliable components of Hadith. that are marvelous at it. on a similar time, the momentum will strengthen with the extremist aspects between the Jews (Zionists) who've a tendency to inflict further and extra injustice and persecution on Muslims and commit transgression against them. So in the top it extremely is an endless tit for tat tale.

Answer 3

You need to do your research. It is impossible for Arabs to be anti-semitic, since they are part of the semitic races. That is a coined term that the media has thrown around trying to make it only against Jews, but they too also need to do their research that the Jews and Arabs are the same race.
And no, the creation of the state of Israel was not due to anything that happened in the Middle East, however the formation of the state has done nothing but cause problems in the area since 1948. Amazingly the European nations moved the Jews out of their countries into someone elses. Does that mean they felt bad or just wanted to get rid of them at the time?

Answer 4

You have it all wrong my friend. You somehow forgot that not all arabs are muslim. I myself am a Palestinian "Former Native of Palestine" (Now Israel) Christian. Jews actually fled from European countries right after WWII. Secondly anti-semitism has nothing to do with anything. All these misconsemptions must stop

Answer 5

That, and maybe the mass exodus of Jews during and after the Holocaust from Europe might've played a part in it, too.

Either way, rampant anti-semitism isn't helping the Palestinian cause.

Answer 6

Excellent point.

Muhammad proudly boasts of wiping all the Jews out of the "arabian penisula" and his ethnic cleansing declaration a commandment unto muslims.

Medina was flush with Jews...until Muhammad flushed them out....but of course, Islamic holocausts are allowed under Islam and therefore no dilemma here...

Answer 7

No. Don't forget about the lunatic big H in Germany. And the Jews had no homeland.

Answer 8

You may have a point. Minorities have historically been oppressed in all societies, and its always wrong.

One linguistic flaw in your question, though. Muslims are semitic people. To call them anti-semitic doesn't make sense.

Answer 9

It pales in comparison to the Holocaust! The Jews had no other place on earth to escape to -- even the U.S. limited immigration severely.

Answer 10

arabs cant be anti semitic, arabs ARE semetic. You are a semite if you speak Ahmaric, Arabic, Aramaic, Akkadian, Ge'ez, Hebrew, Maltese, Tigre or Tigrinya.
