But the idea that Muslims and Jews do not get on, or that anti-Semitism is everywhere in Muslim communities, or even a strain within Muslim culture itself, is a stereotype. In reality, diaspora Muslims are more often on the same side as their Jewish brethren \u2014 not least when it comes to receiving abuse.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Both communities are minorities with a history of being disenfranchised and hated.

And crucially, the conspiracy theories about secret Muslim plans for worldwide domination and the creation of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2019\/aug\/16\/the-myth-of-eurabia-how-a-far-right-conspiracy-theory-went-mainstream\">Eurabia<\/a>\u201d closely mirror far-right conspiracies about Jewish power and influence.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, despite looking and feeling very different on the outside, or often two sides of the same coin. It is no coincidence that many so-called alt-right figures express hatred of Jews and Muslims, leading the two communities to grow even closer together.<\/p>\n<h3>Historical examples of tolerance<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Al-Andalus_historia_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6080 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Al-Andalus_historia_3-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>This is not a recent development. For much of history, Jewish-Muslim solidarity was the norm, and not the exception. While most of Europe was going through the violent and divided Middle Ages, Jewish citizens in Islamic Spain, or Al-Andalus, were treated as equals. There were even Jewish ministers like Hasdai Ibn Shaprut. Under Muslim rule, Cordoba became a centre of Talmudic study, at the same time as Jews were persecuted elsewhere by the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Golden_age_of_Jewish_culture_in_Spain\">Golden Age<\/a>\u201d of Jewish culture in Spain came to an abrupt end with the fall of Granada in 1482, which swiftly led to the inquisition, in which both Muslims and Jews were persecuted for their beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>This semitic solidarity between Arab and Jew goes back even further to the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s time, where Jewish communities were honored as \u201cpeople of the book.\u201d Intermarriage was common, and community cohesion was protected through constitutionally-assured equal rights and covenants.<\/p>\n<p>It is this heritage that Jewish communities with roots in Muslim-majority regions, Shephardic and Mizrahi Jews, inherited in later years. Even in Israel, the epicenter of supposed Muslim-Jewish tension, nearly two-thirds of Jewish Israelis are descended from Mizrahi stock.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is this heritage that Jewish communities with roots in Muslim-majority regions, Shephardic and Mizrahi Jews, inherited in later years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is inevitable that any discussion of Jewish-Muslim relations will mention the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4725682\/easter-jerusalem-holy-land-photos\/\">Holy Land<\/a>, and the conflict surrounding it. This is the prism through which relations are viewed and where our subconscious (or conscious?) surprise at a Hijab-wearing woman defending an orthodox Jewish family on the London Underground comes from.<\/p>\n<h3>A lesson to learn<\/h3>\n<p>Too often the conflict in the Middle East is presented as a religious one. This is understandable, since many of Israel\u2019s most assertive policies in the region \u2014 including last year\u2019s controversial \u201cnation state\u201d law \u2014 are fueled by explicitly religious arguments from the country\u2019s right wing. This religious rhetoric is reflected in many of the Palestinian and Arab resistance movements, most of which have an Islamic flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The broader conflict and occupation, however, is about much more than faith. Religion is the scenery, not the territory of this conflict, and we must always remember that.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"post-gallery cboxElement\" href=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/musulmana-judio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6300\" src=\"http:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/musulmana-judio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/musulmana-judio.jpg 484w, https:\/\/twistislamophobia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/musulmana-judio-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is clearly a correlation between Jewish people having a more pro-Israel position and Muslims being more pro-Palestinian. This divide will only widen if we do not protect responsible, respectful and rational debate, held far away from the murky waters of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.<\/p>\n<p>It is this debate that I have been committed to in my decades of campaigning for a just settlement in the region that recognises the rights of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze and others. On this journey I have had many Jewish and Christian allies as well as people of no faith, and countless Muslim opponents.<\/p>\n<p>In this age of identity politics, it is easy to forget about the universal values that unite us, and focus on the labels that divide us.

They can even compel a woman to put herself in harm\u2019s way for the sake of a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of peace in the Middle East might seem remote.
