what does the quran say about jews

The Quran contains various references to Jews, and the attitudes expressed are diverse. Some passages speak of the special status of the children of Israel and the favor bestowed upon them, while others are more critical. For example, in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:51), it is advised not to take Jews or Christians as guardians, as they are described as guardians of each other, and whoever does so will be counted as one of them. This has been interpreted as a warning against taking non-Muslims as intimate advisors or protectors. Other verses describe the Jews in a negative light, accusing them of specific wrongdoings. It's important to note that the interpretation of these verses can vary among different Islamic scholars and traditions
