:In contrast, Jews have very good things to say about Islam. The war between Israel and Palestine is not a war against Muslims. Indeed if all the People in Palestine started to behave like Muslims tomorrow then the war would be over, and many Jews would even opt to be under the Islamic rule than under the secular state of Israel. If anything the description Netzarim in this verse at least fits better with Jews than the description of the Yahūdu. وقالت اليهود عزير ابن الله وقالت النصارى المسيح ابن الله ذلك قولهم بأفواههم يضاهؤون قول الذين كفروا من قبل قاتلهم الله أنى يؤفكوناتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله والمسيح ابن مريم وما أمروا إلا ليعبدوا إلها واحدا لا إله إلا هو سبحانه عما يشركون:9.30 - 31Though the Yahūdu say: "`Azir son of The DIVINE" and the Netzarim say: "The Anointed son of The DIVINE" That is their saying with their mouths They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old The DIVINE (itself) condemns them How perverse are they!They have taken their wizards and their Rehaban as lords beside The DIVINE and Almasih inb Maryam. but he didn't command them except that they serve only One Eloah, there is no Eloah save HIM Be HE glorified from all that they ascribe as partner!:This is the clearest description of the Yahūdu in the Quran, again (as in 2.109-2.118) it re-iterates that they are guilty of ascribing partners unto The DIVINE and names the object of their veneration as `Azir. Whoever these Yahūdu are it is absolutely clear from the Quran alone that they simply can not be educated Torah observant orthodox Jews. Moreover it identifies them as taking wizards as their lords. Much debate has raged over the identity of 'Azir, some say he is Ezra, but this hardly fits the context. It is much more likely that his is the green man, Osiris, venerated among the practitioners of witchcraft.
