Report: Muslim anti-Semitism 'strategic threat' to Israel | Jerusalem Post

Report: Muslim anti-Semitism 'strategic threat' to Israel | Jerusalem Post: "From the Koranic story of a Jewess who poisoned Muhammad, to the troubled relations between Muhammad and the Jewish tribes of Arabia, radical Islamist groups and thinkers have been using extreme anti-Semitic rhetoric that has grown increasingly popular with the Muslim public, particularly in Iran and the Arab states. Using well-known Koranic texts, these groups have been mapping out the Jews' 'innate negative attributes' and teaching a paradigm of permanent struggle between Muslims and Jews.

The goal of this 'Islamified' anti-Semitism, according to the report, is to transform the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a national territorial contest which could be resolved through compromise to a 'historic, cultural and existential struggle for the supremacy of Islam.'"
