The Rise of Antisemitism in the Islamic and the Arab World

[@0xadamg]

This is a really bizarre take. Antisemitism was not imported. There were many massacres of Jews in North Africa in the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries.

[@stevesebaoun6555]

You are right a bizarre take that doesn’t want to deal with the deep rooted antisemitism in Islam

[@exposingpolytheism1014]

Yeah and maybe do some research as to why they happened - maybe if Jews didn’t literally betray their host countries and make trouble they wouldn’t have happened - the 1066 granada massacre happened because the Jewish vizier literally conspired to betray the city and allow an enemy force to invade and sack the city as long as he would be made king or sultan, Punishment for treason is death so can’t complain about that

[@pauljack7170]

religious was arabs like christians want to convert by preach or force jews do not want to be submitted nor convert so become prey of rage of muslim and christian but. christian and muslim religion are derivations of jew religion so we have 3 gods and all say there is ONLY ONE GOD😂😂😂😂😂👍😂

[@susanne5803]

I am confused, too. If I remember correctly the Romans were suspicious of monotheism and the idea of a coming Messiah. Both possibly threatening the idea of a Cesar. The Catholic Church also caught on early claiming Jews killed Jesus. For a religion having forgiveness as a central idea they hold on to a grudge against a few individuals for a really long time.

​@@susanne5803Jews and Christians fought one another for centuries until they got sick of it not very long ago. Jews and Christians really only embrace one another in the last 100 years

[@connystardust9957]

How can you deliver such a constructed narrative, disregarding the entire historical context of Jewish life since the Arab invasion in 7th century. You ignore the fact of envy, starting with Isaac and Ismael. As long as there was a status quo, unchallenging the Muslim dominion, there may have been a strange kind of "peace". This changed with the dynamics coming from the Western world: While Jews were open to new opportunities, Muslims remained in their traditions. Please look for this great video to reveal the fake presented here: The Ethnic Cleansing of Jews within Muslim Countries (From Germany, with love to Israel)

[@hishamalaker491]

Huh well I am Arab Muslim please tell me what you think about the catholic expulsion of Jews from the Islamic Iberia (Al-andalus) just to be accepted as refugees by the Islamic Ottoman empire? Or how your Crusader ancestors kicked them out of Jerusalem just for my ancestors to allow them in Jerusalem once again when Salahudin al ayyubi allowed them to go there once again. We will remain firm in (some) of our traditions, we wont allow our sons or daughters to be disgusting h*mos*xuals. Please tell me how your lack of tradition is doing to your country, your being replaced in your own damn country and your not blinking an eye to it. Lack of fertility and more is the main reason but that is driven by ideological motivations such as ''doing whatever you want no matter how degenerate it is as long as you dont hurt someone else''. Where is the glory of the German either way? Is it really a suprise that I a non-German sympathise more for what happened to your nation than you do to yourself? What kind of Stockholm syndrome are you experiencing? If I was a German I would be full of rage, you have lost most of your historical territories and you are still being ransacked by them and on top of that your a American puppet state, Where is the pride in what you had? für gott, Kaiser und Fatherland, nein?

[@iftinaxmad781]

Man first what your community did never ever did in Muslim community so ended what you want to say because no imagination you need to decrease bad history you recorded but you know support other bad history record today so if you want to change same thing change this support

[@dinonazamodeen5694]

What we have here is Right and Wrong! Not Antisemitism; whatever that means!

[@neemleonnus9463]

Here's what people need to understand. Christiandom for a long time has held the notion that Christ's cruxifiction came about because the Jews who opposed Christ's message had tattle taled on him to the Romans and that's how the Romans crucified him. From that notion, that notion was the idea that if Jews can plan the death of god, the creator of the universe, then they can plan anything in the world. Islam does not have this problem because we don't believe the Christ was ever crucified and we don't believe that he is god. Anti-Semitism exists in the Muslim world because it was taught, not because its part of our tradition.

[@Dvir226]

But there are a lot of cases of antisemitism in the Muslim holy texts. Just like antisemitism is deeply embedded in Christianity, it's also embedded in Islam

[@LukeJohnson-sk6ds]

Anti-Semitism is not part of Christianity. Romans 9:1-5: I speak the truth in Christ-I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit- I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen. Romans 11:17-21: If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

Jewish history was written by Ashkenazi Jews, so the history of other Jews was and still is given a smaller role than it deserves. This is also true of persecution and antisemitism they had to endure. Details differed depending on time and place, but overall it was about as bad as in Europe. The rules of life in the Islamic world made submission and humiliation of Dhimmis felt in every sphere of life. It is true that Muslims did not view Jews as a threat. But being seen as a threat actually gave some respect to Christians in that society. Jews, not seen as a threat, were treated even worse. In the 18th century the lives of Jews in Europe began to improve, and kept improving until the Holocaust. In the Muslim world, however, nothing changed. So at that time it was much better for Jews in Europe. It is true that many antisemitic and closely related tropes (Blood libel, Protocols, Mein Kampf, fascism, National Socialism) came to Muslim countries from Europe. But the readiness and eagerness with which they were accepted and absorbed speaks for itself. Plus, there were also plenty of local tropes.

[@Didleeios88]

Your comment is well said. This video underrepresents the existence of antisemitism in the Arab world prior to WWII and focuses only on its adoption of European styles and tropes during the time period when the Arab and European world came into closer contact.

Yes because they got all the Nobel prizes and sefardi Jews are BASICALLY disguised Arabs. 😅😅

[@ericmaniraho2260]

[@tompommerel2136]

[@bobbyd6040]

This is outright false. Jews thrived & prospered under Muslim rule, & served in some of the highest positions. And when the Spanish Inquisition happened, they found refuge in the Muslim world. There weren't any pogroms or violent persecutions. And jizya is not an oppression. It's a tax paid in lieu of taxes imposed on Muslims & conscription in the army. But this was a tough lesson learned. No more will they find refuge in any Muslim nation, as we've seen what happens when they gain power & influence

[@boccaraetco]

Christians existed in the middle east and north Africa long before Mohammad was born. Colonial priests did not bring christianism there. You are not well informed.

[@TheAmrthe2nd]

You got it wrong, that is not what he said.

[@hishamalaker491]

Yeah well beforehand the mid-east and north Africa were pagan what happened to that? Also why did the Christian Byznatium oppress the Coptic and nestorian christians of the mid-east if they were supposed to be one unified faction?

[@francesbernard2445]

Wasn't that time period mentioned in this political sicence theory about during the Ottoman Empire? What about the period of time in which both the Mamluk armies and the defender identities collectively being called the crusades over hundreds of years starting soon after the event called the Great Schism? Before that too what about after the period of time in which a split was happening between Sunni and Shia Muslims? Could that great divide break down in human relations in many places on planet earth have had anything to do at all with the political tensions which led up to what is called, "The Great Schism" in the Christian church next? "The Great Schism" which happened most only because of relatviely minor disputes however many about when and how Jewish worship rite traditions were to be included in public worship events to signify the sacred there. Things like what day the first day of the week to celebrate the Sabbath is and when unlevened bread should be served too.A humorous aside during this discussion about a very troubling subject called anti-Semitism: I have yet to read the novel called, "The Kitchen God's Wife." The title of that novel made me wonder if there is any hidden wisdom in it about how to get along with any kind of head chef.

[@Sargon-Saccabee-III]

What would be a game changer for Jews would be to come up with a few items from history that the nation could apologize for being a part of. I know it seems hard to apologize for things, it really goes miles to bolster a person/peoples appearances. I do not myself feel qualified to determine what is what for those answers but I know when I stick to pride over humility I fail everytime. I myself love Jews as my wife and best friend is Jewish from the way back kind. I love her so much and am so sorrowful for my Germanic roots because of holocaust that I have even dug several underground hideouts to literally hide the Jews when the Nazis return. Because I am of that stock and I never quit and I am hard to kill, I feel it is my inner knowledge to know that the reich ain’t done. So I traced lineages and industrial lineages to write a serious satire called “101 ways to usurp the coming fourth Reich”. I didn’t publish because my tunnels aren’t done and I’m sure I’ll be killed for that piece.. anyway I know but would never say, some things that could be apologized for by groups using the name of the Jews but it isn’t my place to move for anyone else. But if some maybe less tragic events could be stated by Israel it could be so helpful to the opinions of people around the world who only see the things they are shown. I mean this with total love and support of the world loving on the Jews.

[@bobbyd6040]

[@freedahlogic8368]

Oh wow. That’s such a back handed slap. Do you think this is somehow witty? Apologise for what? People trying to murder them? Studying too much? The issue isn’t a problem with Jews, the issue is a problem with the need some have to blame. They have been chosen as the scape goat time and time again.

[@gregdenys7162]

Who could have predicted that the creation of a brutal colonial jewish state in the midst of arab territory would result in a surge of animosity against the Jews among arabs?

[@susanne5803]

You oversimplify a very complex history.

[@williamgood8210]

A brutal colonialism where Jews legally purchased land, until the "oppressed" Arabs passed laws banning such sales. A land that always had a Jewish presence and a history going back 1000's of years prior to 1948. Get real dude, you don't even know the facts. Islam is evil, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem personally met with Adolf Hitler and was so pleased at the thought of European Jewery being extirpated.

[@Kurtlane]

Idiot. "Brutal colonialist" my a$$.

[@seriouslyrelax]

@@susanne5803 Agreed, but it is a YT comment. Of course, he oversimplified it. The question is, in the context of recent post WW2 history, is he wrong? Because as I see it while there are other factors at play, I think this is a glaringly obvious one.

[@yl9154]

Well, Israel was attacked by Arab countries practically the day it became a state. It hardly had had the time to become a "brutal colonial" state. Those repeated wars launched by Arab countries, and Arab terrorism afterward, contributed to shaping Israel into what it has become and for some Israelis to have territorial buffers. But I guess you need to see the world with good Arabs victims and bad Israelis colonialists oppressors.

[@heatherbrown384]

The word "Semite" applies to those of a Middle Eastern bloodline: Jews AND Arabs. And so, to call an Arab anti- Semite is akin to accusing the Nigerians or Jamaicans or Barak Obama, Nelson Mandela etc. of being anti-black people. It is utterly nonsensical. Rather, it can only be the Ashkenazi Jews that happen to live in Middle-East who can be labelled 'anti-Semetic'. For they are of European stock (white not brown), mainly from the Caucuses. And in the 5th Century CONVERTED to Judaism. And so, as well, Hebraic Jews they are not. So. If you ever get accused of being an "anti-Semite" ask your accuser about their ancestry. If they're Ashkenazi, they have NO business labelling you as such. Ends!

[@0xadamg]

And antisemitism has nothing to do with any of it. Go Google it and learn.

[@heatherbrown384]

@@0xadamg I need not learn anything from Google. My six decades upon this earth, as well my professional training of the mind of Man is lesson enough!!

[@0xadamg]

@@heatherbrown384 This was an amusing read and a convincing case for maintaining a student’s mindset. Given your aversion to google, I’ll leave this here for you. The word “Semitic” was first used by a German historian in 1781 to bind together languages of Middle Eastern origin that have some linguistic similarities. The speakers of those languages, however, do not otherwise have shared heritage or history. There is no such thing as a Semitic peoplehood. Antisemitism or “Antisemitismus” - note the lack of hyphen ;) - was coined in 1879, by German journalist Wilhelm Marr to mean hatred of the Jewish “race,” adding racial and pseudo-scientific overtones to the animus behind the word.

Looks like you are having a hard time trying to find antisemitism in Islam in a sense that you can easily find it in Europe or Western countries. The little allegations u put here, can also be said about yourselves, if you were considered 2nd class citizens, in your own religion you have concept of Gentile, which is a 2nd class infidel, much worse than how Islam perceives Jews or Christians (simply as misguided brothers). So in short I’m trying to say, don’t be hypocrites. You don’t have to defend Zionists. Nothing wrong with their idea of loving the holy land but everything wrong with their political motives of being the sole owners and masters of the holy land

[@freedahlogic8368]

Yeah. Looks like you’re desperate to find justification for your own antisemitism.

[@lisajanis513]

I’m Jewish. ‘Gentile’ simply means not Jewish. It does not mean second class, or infidel or anything other than not Jewish. The Quran, in contrast, refers to J*ws as pigs and apes, as satanic, as the worst of creation and counsels Muslims to kill J*ws n Allahs name. Please don’t project the faults of your religion onto other people.
