As much as I despise islam/Iran, it has nothing to do with weakness. It's a religion thing. It's one of the core principles of Islam to hate the Jews. It's literally in the very first of the Quran. Former Muslim here.
"The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace[4] , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger [5] (i.e. those who knew the Truth, but did not follow it) nor of those who went astray (i.e. those who did not follow the Truth out of ignorance and error)."
And here is the whole thing. Read 7 and what's under it.
Edit: even though this doesn't mention Jews per se, there are other "tafaseer" (which means translations of the Quran by different "experts") that put as Jews alongside Christians and whomever doesn't believe in Islam. Their beef with the Jews goes back thousands of years.
LOL. Sounds like you need to do more home work. Search a bit on how the jews were massacred by muslims in the "crusade of banu qeinu-qa" in the year 624 here, and banu qurayzah in the year 627. They literally slaughtered them to the last man. It was literally called by some historians "the massacre of banu qurayzah". Here. Translate it to english if you can't read arabic. These are just known historic facts.
Telling me to do home work. lol
Oh, and "people of the book" who were treated fair are christians (they just had to pay Jizyah, which is a form of taxation to keep their religion under islam), not Jews. Jews were/are just universally hated by muslims throughout history.
People of the Book absolutely applied to Jews. Ever heard of the Muslim prophets Noah, Moses, and Abraham? It is the main reason for them fleeing to Muslim countries during Christian persecutions of their communities. Second class, sure, but to say they were only mistreated is a blatant historical accuracy. Iran and Turkey are home to large Jewish communities to this day. Sephardic Jews, from Spain, were expelled by Catholics, after living for several hundred years under the Umayyad Caliphate.
Iran's issue is with the existence of a Jewish state. Not the existence of Jews in the world.
Please educate yourself before acting like you know better. A basic Google search can literally disprove much of what you claim.
Sure, buddy. You are the one who was born a muslim and was indoctrinated to shit to hate the Jews since a very young age. LOL. Please educate me. Good talk
