Debunking Racist Myths about Jews and Muslims

A viral image alleges Jews and Muslims have always been at war, but a look at the facts of history proves this myth dangerously false—and the exact opposite as true

Let's Address This with Qasim Rashid

@QasimRashid But massacres of Jews and Christians did happen. Arab leaders didn't always honor the promise. Even those protected lived under difficult and humiliating rules. Children would throw rocks at Jews and Jews were forbidden to do anything about it. Blood libel torture and executions also happened in the Arab world

The truth is complicated and muddled by conflicting and incomplete information. Each side can exploit history to justify horrible actions

@bnmng your opinion is not evidence

@QasimRashid

I've drafted a ridiculous amount of replies to your five words

Evidence includes Righteous Victims by Benny Morris and so many easily found websites it's silly to post links

Your Substack post tells truth, but many truths arise over thousands of years

The meme your friend shared dismisses thousands of years of complex history with one racist quip. It's not the "exact opposite" of truth, but It's hard to point that out without seeming to endorse the racism, which I don't mean to
