They have also highlighted everyday conviviality in the interactions between the two groups (Everett 2020;Gidley & Everett 2022), explored the intertwined trajectories of anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim prejudice (Egorova 2022;Everett & Vince 2020;Judaken 2018;Klug 2014;Meer 2013;Meer & Noorani 2008;Renton & Gidley 2017;Romeyn 2017), and questioned the very assumption that Jewish-Muslim relations should be used as a category of analysis rather than purely as a category of practice (Egorova 2018;Everett & Gidley 2018).…”
