I am a Jew who asks Muslims for a few minutes of time to consider the following.
Jews do not hate Muslims. They do not call for the death of Muslims nor do they pray to their God to destroy Islamic nations, their leaders, or their people. Jews do not slip into Muslim homes to slit the throats of innocent men, women, and children and then have streets, plazas, and schools named in their honor.
When Dr. Baruch Goldstein killed 29 Muslims in 1994, his action was denounced by the Israeli government, most Israelis, and Jews around the world as the act of terror it was. Terror is not our game. Learn from us.
Jews do not enter countries as immigrants and try to transform their host nations into Jewish states. Jews blossom in every land where they are permitted to live in peace and in every such instance bring prosperity in their wake. Learn from us.
Jews have only one Jewish nation in this world, Israel – in which Muslim, Christian, and Jewish citizens have complete religious freedom with no distinction among them as to rights and privileges. Jews have suffered in Muslim lands for hundreds of years and have been treated as second-class citizens – when permitted to live. Israel offers its Muslim citizens more security, freedom, and opportunities to enjoy life than does any Muslim nation on earth. Learn from us.
Jewish parents raise their kids to succeed and benefit the world. Education and security for their children are foremost in the minds of Jewish mothers and fathers. They sacrifice to enable their children to enjoy life and enrich the lives of others. They do not train them to hate others, to kill others, and to commit terrorist-style suicide to appease their God. Learn from us.
Jews do not want to kill Palestinians in Gaza. Israel drops warning letters and makes phone calls before it attacks military installations placed in your schools, hospitals, and mosques. Jewish doctors treat Muslims, even terrorists, in Israeli hospitals. Learn from us.
Jews love peace and abhor war. Jews want to live in peace with all their neighbors. Jews want to reach out and assist their neighbors. Learn from us.
