Jerome Chanes,[57] Pinson, Rosenblatt,[58] Mark R. Cohen, Norman Stillman, Uri Avnery, M. Klien, and Bernard Lewis all argue that antisemitism did not emerge in the Muslim world until modern times, because in their view, it was rare in pre-modern Islam.
emphasis mine, in comparison to
Antisemitic Christian rhetoric and the resulting antipathy towards Jews date back to early Christianity, resembling pagan anti-Jewish attitudes that were reinforced by the belief that Jews are responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus. Christians imposed ever-increasing anti-Jewish measures over the ensuing centuries, including acts of ostracism, humiliation, expropriation, violence, and murder—measures which culminated in the Holocaust.[1]: 21 [2]: 169 [3] Antisemitism in Christianity
in sum, antisemitism in islam certainly exists, but the idea that it’s been always prevalent and some kind of eternal blood feud is easily dismissed, or at the very least must be understood to be fractional to the endemic and widespread nature of antisemitism in christianity.
