The European Jews were intimately known to and by the Christians of Europe but the Muslims of the world did not know them because they had always lived thousands of miles away from any Muslim countries. But they began to arrive in Palestine beginning in 1882 claiming to be the Hebrews returning home – which was such a ridiculous claim by these bunch of Europeans to make. The Muslims would prefer to have it the way it used to be when the European Jews used to live thousands of miles away from any Muslim country.
