Quote: Also jews aren't our enemies. Their are jews sympathatic to the Palestinian cause because they say that the Zionist stole the name Israel (which means abdullah according to what an Islamic Teacher told me) and that the Israel can only be founded by a messiah not by some european jews who comes to arabia and declares he came back home!
Israel is Prophet Ya`qub (Jacob)
Israel is Prophet Ya`qub, for Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded that `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas said, "A group of Jews came to the Prophet and he said to them,
«هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْقُوبُ؟»
(Do you know that Israel is Jacob) They said, "Yes, by Allah.'' He said,
«اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَد»
(O Allah! Be witness.)''
At-Tabari recorded that `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas said that `Israel' means, `the servant of Allah.'
As for those Jews who say that Israel can only be founded by the messiah, how can they be sympathetic in the long term when they too have dreams of taking Palestine???
