More tolerance-
What should we expect from people who dress their little kids as suicide bombers and have them sings songs about blowing themselves up?
"The official, government-run television channel of the Palestinian Authority aired a program that showed two little girls reciting a poem calling Jews “barbaric monkeys,” “wretched pigs” and the “most evil among creations.”.........
'Oh, you who murdered Allah’s pious prophets (i.e., Jews in Islamic tradition)
Oh, you who were brought up on spilling blood
You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship.
Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations
Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs'
The second little girl extolls the notion that Jerusalem belongs to the Muslims, not to Israel for which it is its capital city. She says to Jews and Israel:
'Jerusalem is not your den
Jerusalem opposes your throngs
Jerusalem vomits from within it your impurity
Because Jerusalem, you impure ones, is pious, immaculate
And Jerusalem, you who are filth, is clean and pure.'..........."
Jew-hatred is nothing new to Islam; the Koran and Haddiths both have plenty of vicious references to Jews. I grew up with the story about the Koran referring to Jews as the "People of the Book". Then I actually read the Koran and noticed that each and every time that phrase is used, it is to demean the Jews and blame them for failing to accept Mohammed as a prophet or a Medieval-type accusation of group guilt for doing violence to Old Testament prophets. Note that Emmett Scott, in Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited, make incredibly strong augments that Jew-hatred in Medieval Europe was a direct result of the Jew-hatred that was commonplace in Islam and that this filtered into the West from increasing contacts with Muslim states such as those in Spain and Portugal.
Muslim have for a long time made every effort to co-opt all of the Old Testament prophets, patriarchs, and kings (Boy they have some doozies of stories about Solomon). One of their favorite targets are places and buildings or sites that are associated with Hebrew/Jewish history. Islam seems to create such a deep hatred of Jews that many Muslims feel the need to make every patriarchal/Hebrew/Jewish tomb, archaeological find, or extant building into a Muslim work. That is why the Israeli government has actually kept major finds secret; making them known to the public will result in cries of protest from Muslims that "their" sites are being taken away from them.
It's a classic case of projection - blame the other side for what you do on a regular basis.
Even the claim for Jerusalem being a sacred place for Islam was a later addition to Muslim lore (No mention in the Koran*), but that has not stopped Muslims from expressing feigned outrage on important digs such as that if the foundation of the Temple built under Herod's reign. Muslims built the Al-Aqsa and Dome of the Rock Mosques where they did to take that location away from Jews and to create a false sense of legitimacy, and it's the Jews that get blamed for wanting to research their past. The probability mob violence in response to an announcement of an important find is so great that Israelis don't even know what to do when they have one on their hands:

Muslims make every argument possible to cancel the Jews out of the Israel/Jerusalem picture. We get told that all the ancient Hebrews and patriarchs were Arabs or at least Muslims, that the Jews strayed from the truth and thus are to be ruled by the descendants of the conquering Muslims, and old Yasser Arafat came up with a new one - that the Palestinians are actually the descendants of the Canaanites. By this claim, the Palestinians are no longer Arabs but the people that got kicked out of what was to become Israel by the Hebrews.
The last one leaves us with all kinds of problems. What were left of Canaanites most likely eventually wound up with the Phoenicians or Syrians (Not Arabs) or were just absorbed by the (Two thousand years later) Arab invasions after the death of Mohammed. Yasser wanted Palestinians to be Arabs unless it was of more use to be something other than Arabs. This also flies in the face of self-loathing Leftist Israeli Academics who labor without pause to feed Israelis a whole new opiate - that the Hebrews never came out of Egypt in the fist place.

The above is a good read for those interested in the other enemy of Israel - her own Leftist professors.
