Any and all policies which equate the two are not only immoral, but they are doomed to fail because they're based on a delusion.
The delusion may be antisemitic or postmodern - it matters not. It's a delusion.

ORTHODOX ISLAM versus ORTHODOX JUDAISM - a comparison
From Astute Bloggers:
ORTHODOX ISLAM versus ORTHODOX JUDAISM - a comparison
- LEFT-WING ANTI-SEMITES LIKE BILL MOYERS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN ARGUING THAT JUDAISM IS INTRINSICALLY BLOODTHIRSTY.
- OTHER POSTMODERN LEFTISTS ARGUE THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE THE SAME - AND ALL BAD - OR ALL PRONE TO THE SAME DIATHESIS FOR VIOLENCE.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FACTS AND SEE IF WE CAN SPOT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND JUDAISM:
FACT:
- Islam doesn't permit non-Muslims to go to Mecca - its religious capitol.
- Jews not only allow non-Jews into Jerusalem and live there, the Temple Mount - the most sacred real estate in all Judaism - was put under the control of the Muslim Waqf by Israelis.
NO, NOT A SCINTILLA OF SIMILARITY.
FACT:
- For nearly 1500 years - and today in many nations and in more and more communities worldwide - Islam has forced non-believers to adhere to Muslim law.
- Judaism doesn't expect or demand gentiles to follow Jewish law or customs. (Orthodox Jews don't even expect all other JEWS to - though they'd prefer it!).
NO, NOT A SCINTILLA OF SIMILARITY.
FACT:
- Islam aggressively seeks converts - sometimes under pain of injury or death, sometimes under threat of genocide.
- Judaism doesn't seek converts. Never has.
NO, NOT A SCINTILLA OF SIMILARITY.
FACT:
- Islamo-terrorists and islamo-terrorist groups - (such as Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hizballah, Abu Sayyaf, et al) - act in accordance with written Muslim laws, to the principles and traditions of Islam explicitly articulated in the Koran and Hadiths; they are not "renegades" misinterpreting a "religion of peace"; [this according to Muslim and Muslim-scholar Irshad Manji, who has written extensively and argued far and wide that Binladen and his ilk are "LITERALISTS" and that Islam needs a reformation which would entail seeing much of Muslim "scripture" as "FIGURATIVE".]
- Jewish fundamentalists not only don't seek submission of non-believers; they don't even harass reform Jews who practice gay marriage and have female rabbis - though both are anathema to their core beliefs.
NO, NOT A SCINTILLA OF SIMILARITY.
- Additionally, Jews have contributed enormously to human progress and modernity in every realm - science, humanities, arts, letters, and so on, and have done so - despite horrific persecution - in nearly every nation, in nearly every decade for the last 2000 years.
- Muslims have contributed ZILCH.
NO, NOT A SCINTILLA OF SIMILARITY.
