They are not all the same

When you have experienced the world and you read:

“They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous.” Quran 3:113-114 ,

you know it is true. Your heart knows it is true.
Otherwise, how would explain the contrast between what is happening in Palestine with what is happening in the US.

In my short life span, I had to struggle through a lot of cultural bias to see the truth in many relevant matters.
But the day I truly looked into the Quran, it changed my life.
For a start, the Quran does -not- favour one cast over another, nor one race over another, nor one tribe over another, nor even one gender over another.

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. ” Quran 49:13

But people do use any excuse to favour one over another.
The israelis see themselves better than the goyim.
The brahmans see themselves better than other castes.
The quraishis saw themselves better than other tribes.
Some Eugenicists, even saw themselves as having a better set of genes than others!

Sorry, but only your deeds dictate who you are.
Have you not read:

“By their fruits you shall know them!”

That is in the scriptures and I have no doubt that passage is revelation. For it is also in the Quran.

Today, the Jews who stand with the Palestinians have a tough fight at hand. For they know too well the enemy they are dealing with. An enemy that has no mercy.
This old enemy hated Moses, slandered Jesus and his mother, and supported the enemies of Muhammad.
Standing with Palestinians is standing with saving humans from injustice. Moreover, it is saving humanity from the brink of collapse.
Today, the US has the dominant culture, and the Jews there have realised the threat to Palestinians’ existence is a direct threat to their own existence.
Also they may have realised the old enemy is the one who fabricated many labels. Otherwise, the true followers of Abraham (Avram) and subsequent Prophets were all called Muslims. This is not only found in the Quran, but it is also found in the scriptures. For in the Targum Onkelos, the oldest Aramaic Bible, says the following:

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Adonoy revealed to Abram and said to him: I am El-Shaddai, worship Me and be Shelim.”

Shelim has a direct link to Muslim by the way it sounds and by its meaning, which is to be healthy at heart.
