Jews have control over Jerusalem and some arabs in Israel.

You are correct , the fact that land that was once controled or owned by muslims (even for a little while ) must in the eyes of islam remain muslim controlled. The fact that Israel has control over land muslims think is theirs, and that Jews control the lives of some muslims is sickening to most muslims . This is one of the reasons why there is no peace in the middle east. The muslims cannot or will not get over this fact , it does not matter that Israel is a small country. Israel is a mere fraction of the arabic worlds size and population.

Yet the fact remains that Israels' very existence is a huge problem for muslims. This is seen in the number of anti Israel and anti Jewish cartoons , jokes , speeches and attacks. The people of islam fear that there is a public thought of " the God of the Jew must be more powerful than allah ". They feel they have lost their honor, and we all know what that means if a women is thought to have cost her family its' honor , = death. That is what happens a killing , this is why islam hates the Jews and Israel so much. Will muslim people treat us the same way ?
