PICKTHAL: O Children of Israel! Remember My favour wherewith I favoured you and how I preferred you to (all) creatures. SHAKIR: O children of Israel! call to mind My favor which I bestowed on you and that I made you excel the nations. I'm just curious.

I was reluctant to reply, for many reasons, reading and interpreting the Koran should be taken with care, you don't want to claim that God said something that God didn't Also your comment have a bad ... I dont know how to explain, a bad feeling probaly. You know islam been around for almost 1400 years, and it was studies rigourously and have a huge literature and you can find thousands of books writen to explain islam, so when u read a verse and think of an obviously wrong or bad meaning of it, consider giving islam and muslims the benefit of doubt, probably one scholar along the years felt the same way, and found an answer or asserted your doubt. So similar to what ppl say to ppl who ask naiive programming questions, did you read the manual, did you search the web. I know you probably dont have time for this, but since you dont, please dont just assume and answer, or assume you got it right I am not a muslims scholar, and i dont claim to be one, i am representing myself as a guy from the other side, and ... thats all Anyway, I dont think its always a sin to attack israelies, they dont have special protection There are justifiable attacks (self defense) and unjustifiable attacks (aggression) Being israeli won't give you special protection, being israeli according to this verse, probably means they have greater responsibilities and less excuses, but then to give a full and complete interpretation i need to research aaaand I dont have time for this now Whether israelies are aggressors or not, is a different debate ...

Old synagogues in Cairo and Baghdad tell me that Jews have had some protection from persecution in the Muslim world.
