More historically and factually challeneged nonsense.

Although Muslim antisemitism historically was not as virulent as Christian-inspired antisemitism, there are roots of Muslim antisemitism as old as Islam itself. Just one example may be found in the well-known Hadith, which is expressly made a part of the Hamas Charter, that:

“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews , when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.”

Moreover, the treatment of Jews during the era of the Islamic empire was hardly benign.

In addition, although the form of antisemitism that is today pervasive in the Muslim world finds many of its sources in European Christian antisemitism, the introduction of such antisemisism into the Arab and Muslim world dates back to Hajj Amin al-Husseini’s alliance with Nazi Germany during World War II, before the estabilshment of the State of Israel.
