Ok so we actually agree in that much of the animosity towards jews stems, not from an inherent theological constant in islam but rather the israeli conflict situation and other regional factors. This was what i was trying to communicate, because the discussion started with a ridiculous comparison to nazi ideology.
It sounds like you really just don't like muslims because they are on the opposite side of the israel-palestine conflict.
Personally i agree that the situation is terrible, and quite a mess. But if you can't see there are several groups, factors, policies, wars and incidents to blame/explain the current situation you are blinded by the israeli perspective.
There are always two sides of the story in conflicts that span decades.
Lastly the israeli population is pretty divided in their political leanings and observations. Some are hardliners and certainly will sacrifice short-term peace in return of a total take over. A large part of the more progressive youth are split in their views, especially after mandatory IDF conscription. Parts of the large minority are frustrated with the hardliner rhetorics, still others cry for a more agressive stance.
It seems to me that you ignore the nuances of regional conflicts.
One of them being that Israel has not made any note worthy mistakes that would lead to any hatred towards them, which is ridiculous to expect in conflict with continous hot warfare, spanning several decades, and with a death toll much, much higher on the palestinian side.

Not quite. It doesn't stem from Israel, it stems from Jews (and other groups too!) raising their heads up and not being subservient. Israel is an example of this, but not the cause of this. Your claim is that it is because of Israel, as I said before this claim is wrong. Muslims do not have a problem with the Jewish religion, but they do have a problem with Jews. You abhorred the comparison to Nazis, and the comparison is not completely valid. But there is one thing in common: Both groups believe themself to be superior to all others. You are wrong when you think Muslim antisemitism is because of Israel.
