For the Jews?
Survival.

Two antagonists getting their voice spread world wide is all part of the bigger issue.Polarization = survival? I think it paints them as clearer targets
You can't be taken seriously when you're crying for the Jews , while simultaneously the Jews massacre Palestinians and forcibly remove them from their homes.
Islam doesn't hate Jews. Sure there is animosity (much of it fueled by Zionism) but you'll find many Muslims and Jews can get along with no problems.
Throughout history you'll find many cases of Jews and Muslims living together peacefully.

I thought, at the start, the OP in this thread was going to be uplifting.....you know, an interesting tale of community solidarity and friendship despite religious differences.
But it had to become a Jew hate fest....it is all far too many Muslims know.
You will, as long as the Jews paid their Jew-tax..........etc etc.
Oh, here it is, straight from the Koran. Argue with it....
Taste ye [Jews] the punishment of burning.[Surah III, v. 18 1]
"They [the Jews] are the heirs of Hell.... They will spare no pains to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your ruin. Their hatred is clear from what they say ... When evil befalls you they rejoice." Ibid. [Surah 111, v. 117-120]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews.... And of their taking usury ... and of their devouring people's wealth by false pretenses. We have prepared for those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.[Surah IV, v. 160, 161]

The most vehement of mankind in hostility [are] the Jews and the idolators.[Surah V, v. 82]

Historical context is important in this case. These passages have likely been written during times of conflict between Muslims and Jews.
If Jew hatred was so inherent in Islam like you think they wouldn't ever been peace amongst them, but clearly as history shows, there has been many cases where they have lived together peacefully.
There also quotes such as these in the Qur'an
Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book (the Jews and Christians) are a portion that stand (for the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.
They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works. They are in the ranks of the righteous.
Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for God knoweth well those that do right.
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Allah hath cursed them[the Jews] for their disbelief.[Surah IV, v. 46
Keeps you alive if you've learned not to repeat it. Insanity is what they call doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results..Keeps you alive? That's what learning from history does.
None of them are fighting. They're bickering for attention.Seems like that is exactly what they are doing....not let history repeat itself by fighting back!
Likely? Why not back up your assertion with some supporting documentation.Historical context is important in this case. These passages have likely been written during times of conflict between Muslims and Jews.
Lived. Things change.If Jew hatred was so inherent in Islam like you think they wouldn't ever been peace amongst them, but clearly as history shows, there has been many cases where they have lived together peacefully.
