I think you might be surprised dingo. Personally I have many friends that are Muslim and Jewish here and in Israel. I live and work in Israel from time to time. 

BTW, speaking of felafels. I can recommend The Son of Abraham in Haifa. It is run by a Sephardic Jew in the Arab market; not far from the Bahai Terraces just off of Ben Gurion Avenue. If you ever visit you can get extra tahini. In fact you can just ladle any of the approximate 30 continents and other toppings as you eat and chat with the proprietor. She will even give you a few extra felafel balls in a bag to munch on later; mmmmm good!
