"Someone who is having trouble understanding that it's basically the history of the Hebrews and simply doesn't like Jews?"
I was wondering about that as well. JFKlib, please don't misunderstand, I am not accusing you of anti-semitism; its just that when I used to use the yahoo message boards to debate Middle East and/or islamic issues, the defenders of islam would invariably end the discussion by telling me to "shut up, jew". Though I have found little of that here on FR, I'm a little battle scarred.
Sometimes it's deliberate, sometimes they don't even know they are doing it, and when it's deliberate and you identify it, all you will receive in reply is a denial.
The defenders of islam who call you a Jew on forums think a lot like the fuehrer - herr hitler maintained that Christianity was a jewish religion.
Muslims say 'first the Saturday People, then the Sunday People' ...we are all People of The Book to them. The name of that book is the Old (or if you are Jewish) Original Testament.
