Max,

Game theory? You need a refresher. I suggest Roger Myerson, Game theory: analysis of conflict; or Ken Binmore, Fun and games.

I see no reason to hate because others hate. Clean your own house.

Max, are you telling me that the Zionist/Palestine conflict is a religious one? That’s a very interesting perspective because if that’s the truth, then it’s Jews against Muslims AND Christians.

But of course this is nonsense, the issue is a political one stemming from the establishment of a colonial state on the expense of the native inhabitants who were expelled and reduced to refugees while the rest live under a colonial occupation under barbaric oppression entering its 46th year.

Here’s what the Pew survey tells us:
1. Islamic extremism is seen as a problem by all. Top are PA(!), Israel and Russia.
2. Muslims are seen more negatively than Jews in Western countries; Christians are seen negatively in Muslim countries, and Jews are seen extremely negatively in Muslim countries
3. Muslims are seen very negatively in Israel, but Israeli Muslims view Jews 10 times more favorably than in Muslim countries
4. Lebanese, despite a Muslim majority, have a better view of Christians than Muslims
5. Only a small minority in Muslim countries believe that 9/11 was carried out by Arabs; Muslim publics blame Western policies for their own lack of prosperity
.
What the survey also tell us is that while the West has improved its view of Muslims in the past 5 years, the reverse isn’t true.
Game theory tells us that if you’re looking for a compromise and your adversary doesn’t, you’re going to lose.
Which is the rational fear of the Israeli thinking right.

Foreigner, bigots like you have existed since the beginning of time. They always find rationalization and have “proof” why this or that group of people is different, has sinister intentions and deserves punishment.

If you were born 100 years ago in Europe you’d probably be advocating with the same conviction why there is a Jewish problem in Europe and why they should be expelled. Mind you, the classic antisemites today still claim that Jews are a bigger problem than blacks, muslims and other minorities because they “take over a society from its center of powers – banking, government and media – and enslave it to their needs”. Just read the Protocols, pretty convincing stuff, yet totally bogus.

Such rationalization of bigotry usually is accepted by people like yourself, who just feel more comfortable hating Muslims than Jews because Islamophobia is “legit” while antisemitism isn’t.

It is a sad turn of events that the bigots and racists of the world like yourself are Israel’s biggest supporters. That’s the end of my conversation with a bigot Islamophobe / antisemite.

The anti-Islam bigots are aware of the fact that while they can curse Islam and its Prophet – Muslims are not allowed to curse founders or books of other religions – because all prophets before the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), biblical or otherwise, must be honored. However, Muslims don’t agree with all the negative things said about those prophets in the OT, NT and Talmud.

I never cared what a Zionazi says about Islam because, if need comes, he would curse his fellow Jews too. However, the fact remains that Muslims have treated Israelites far better than they treated the Christians. Even Israel’s president Ezer Weizman admitted that “Muslims’ treatment of their Jewish subjects were far better than the Christians’ treatment of their Jewish subjects”.

And then there are bigots Jewish scholar Daniel Pipes, who wrote: “The global war on terror cannot be won through counterterrorism alone. The immediate war goal must be to destroy militant Islam and the ultimate war goal the modernization of Islam”.

JF , you just need to add a disclaimer like KDG above “I’m not saying Muslims are, only reporting my observation” and you’ll be fine. This is an Israeli site, can’t afford to offend the not-enemy.

@AH – “the millenia old historic good relationship between Muslims and Jews”.
Discounting infrequent pogromchiks here and there the Muslims, in general, didn’t treat the Jews much worse than any minority that had no external sponsor / protector.
But I’d say that ‘good relationship’ is quite far fetched.
As for your list – it’s a fabrication: show me a reference to it in Italy
