No real surprise there...
According to Islam judgement day can not come untill they are the Jews are persecuted. As is clearly stated in the hadiths, one example:
Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: Narrated by Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'"
