Israel and Islamophobia
According to pro-Palestinian activist Paul Larudee, Islamophobia often involves the strategy of targeted elimination and harassment of a population of Muslims.[1] This tactic is common in other countries such as Myanmar and India, as indicated by an opinion piece about British political parties.[2] Unlike Myanmar and India, Islamophobia in Israel often takes the form of spreading Islamophobia in other countries. This includes abusing power by justifying the harassment of Palestinians within territories under Israel's control, as well as supporting aggression towards Muslim people. This strategy has become less frequent over time, due to multiple agreements and treaties. Islamophobia within Israel is considered an issue of social injustice.[1]

American role
Many Islamophobic beliefs center around the attacks of 11 September 2001.[3] American Zionist groups (both Jewish and Christian) , used this as a tool to spread their Islamophobic beliefs to the public.[3]
According to the reports from the Center for American Progress, Israel's role in the spread of these beliefs have been successful due to support from many different groups. Their anti islamic beliefs have also been backed up due to Palestinian attacks of terrorism. Supporters of Islamophobia have given $11 million to Israel-related causes.[4]
