>Ever wonder why so many people hate Jews?

This book is a good, simple explanation Why the Jews?: The Reason for Antisemitism, by Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin.

You're not the first person to ask that question.

Here's a book exploring the answer

It's the subject of many books (like this one ) and countless doctoral theses.

I’m glad you were able to get an apology from her. Maybe she will indeed learn something. Which is amazing. Also you are amazing for wanting to educate your class.

Although you probably saw it in your research, this entry from the US Holocaust Museum is quite good:

That's the problem. You guys try to ignore the strong anti-Jewish resentments in the Muslim world. If you don't want to use the information provided by MEMRI look at Palestinian Media Watch:

> Our enmity with the Jews is a matter of [or 'based on'] faith; our enmity with the Jews is a matter of faith, more than an enmity owing to [or 'arising from'] occupation and the land. (...)

-Preacher paid by the PA on the official television of the PA

Or recent findings of the Pew Global Attitudes Project:

> In the predominantly Muslim nations surveyed, views of Jews are largely unfavorable. Nearly all in Jordan (97%), the Palestinian territories (97%) and Egypt (95%) hold an unfavorable view. Similarly, 98% of Lebanese express an unfavorable opinion of Jews, including 98% among both Sunni and Shia Muslims, as well as 97% of Lebanese Christians.

Or look at the rich literature about Jew-hatred. Someone who doesn't see Muslim anti-Semitism doesn't want to. That's a dangerous and immoral behavior.

The relationship between Jews and Muslims in Muslim dominated countries can be and was peaceful - but mostly poisoned by anti-Jewish resentments. In those countries the general attitude of the Muslims toward the Jews is that of a master towards slaves, whom he treats with a certain lordly tolerance so long as they keep their place. Any sign of pretension to equality is promptly repressed. That includes an own Jewish state.

So it is not important what Israel does; it will always be wrong. Even painful Israeli concessions stimulate not reciprocal Palestinian goodwill but rather irredentism, ambition, fury, and violence. Diplomatic negotiations through the 1990s led to a parade of Israeli retreats that had the perverse effect of turning the middling-bad situation of 1993 into the awful one of 2000.

Therefore I see only one solution: the Arab-Israeli conflict will be resolved only when one side gives up.

Until now, through round after round of war, both sides have retained their goals. Israel fights to win acceptance by its enemies, while those enemies fight to eliminate Israel. Those goals are raw, unchanging, and mutually contradictory. Israel's acceptance or elimination are the only states of peace. Each observer must opt for one solution or the other. A civilized person will want Israel to win, for its goal is defensive, to protect an existing and flourishing country. Its enemies' goal of destruction amounts to pure barbarism. Israel must win. Then there will be peace - the best thing that can happen to the Palestinian Arabs.
