Palestinian Authority Racism and Anti Semitism: “Jews are monkeys and
pigs, conceited, arrogant, disloyal and treacherous, and will be tortured on
Judgment Day”
By Itamar
Marcus
Introduction:
This Friday’s sermon
on PA TV is indicative of one of the most loathsome aspects of Palestinian
Authority [PA] ideology- its vicious Racism and anti-Semitism. According to
PA religious ideology the Jews' essence includes numerous inherent evils, as
follows:
“Allah described them [Jews] in His Book, characterized by
conceit, pride, arrogance, rampage, disloyalty and treachery... deceit and
cunning... for which Allah transformed them to monkeys and pigs.” They are
guilty of “trickery, plotting and treachery, and ideological terrorism...”
and are the “cursed enemies of Allah; curse upon curse up to Judgment
Day.”
Jews' behavior, they teach, has always been evil:
“They
coveted, and they covet still. They killed, and they kill still. They
betrayed, and betray still. They spilled blood, and they spill blood
still... They have a single common denominator: enmity of Islam and Moslems,
enmity of the bearers of truth... We must know the true situation and be on
our guard, for our enemy does not distinguish between the mighty and the
dependent, between big and small nor between the aged and the nursing
baby.”
Muslims therefore have a special role to torment the Jews:
“We
shall battle them and wage Jihad against them ... Allah loves those who
battle for Him in one line... Oh, servants of Allah, be you the ones by whom
Allah tortures the Jews with harsh torment."
The Jews’ future has been
determined for ultimate punishment:
"[Allah] will not resurrect them
[Jews] until Judgment Day, and then they will be tortured harsh
torture.”
The Palestinian Racism is particularly dangerous because it
is portrayed as the will of Allah. The hatred of Jews thus receives not only
the stamp of divine approval but also is transformed into obligatory
religious practice. A religious Palestinian Muslim, virtually the entire
population, is thus faced with the obligation to hate Jews and to fight them
or go against the will of Allah.
The following is from this week's PA Official Friday sermon:
“Praise unto Allah, Who cursed our enemies; curse
upon curse up to Judgment Day. And He has cursed them as well through the
words of His prophets and emissaries, may they rest in peace...
It is He
who warned us of the Jews and of the Jews’ nature in the clearest of terms.
We shall battle them and wage Jihad against them -after they attempted to
kill the Call [to Allah] and to assassinate the Prophet [Muhammad]
...
“Their attempts were repeated more than once; but Allah, Who said of
the Prophet: ‘Allah will protect you from man’, shielded His prophet from
their [the Jews] trickery, plotting and treachery, and their ideological
terrorism...”
“The Prophet, upon emigrating from
Mecca to Medina where Allah granted him victory over his enemies, wrote a
document between himself and the residents of Medina, among them Jews... The
Prophet and the Moslems upheld this contract. The Jews, however, as is
typical of them and as Allah described them in His Book, characterized by
conceit, pride, arrogance, disloyalty and treachery... ‘Each time they forge
a treaty a group within them breaches it.’ [Sura 3]....
"And they coveted
the Moslems for the Prophet not having come from among them. They coveted,
and they covet still. They killed, and they kill still. They betrayed, and
betray still. They spilled blood, and they spill blood still. They ignited
and still ignite the flames of war. And each time they ignite the flame of
war, Allah extinguishes it. And still, they light it up... They have a
single common denominator: enmity of Islam and Moslems, enmity of the
bearers of truth, enmity of the sons of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, enmity of the
bearers of the historical and religious truth in this good, blessed land.
"...Allah lifted Mount Sinai over them and commanded that they bow down,
and they bowed on their left eyebrows while, with their right eyes, they
looked at the mountain. Note the deceit and cunning. And therefore it
[violence and crime] is not an exception to their character or their nature,
for which Allah transformed them to monkeys and pigs.
"...Then Allah
threatened them with a promise [of punishment] which remains valid until
Allah will conquer the world and its people. And if shall be just in the
eyes of your Lord, He will not resurrect them until Judgment Day, and then
they will be tortured harsh torture. Indeed, your Lord is quick to punish
and is forgiving and merciful. Oh, servants of Allah, be you the ones
by whom Allah tortures the Jews with harsh torment, this through your
unity... This will only come to pass through unity,
based on Allah’s, may He be exalted, words: ‘...Indeed Allah loves those who
battle for Him in one line...’ [Koran].
"...Our enemies do not adhere, as
they do not commit now to any contract and to any accord. This is their
tradition, this their habit, this is their nature. They battle us based on
untrue faith ….
“We must know the true situation and be on our guard, for
our enemy does not distinguish between the mighty and the dependent, between
big and small nor between the aged and the nursing baby. They carry on
according to their own point of view, based on their untrue faith, which is
comprised of license upon license upon license. Moreover, they believe
they will become more united the more they spill our blood. We should, then,
be on our guard, understand our Islam properly and prepare as we should for
Ramadan...
“Allah render us victorious over the devils and demons and
over our submission to them...
“Allah render us victorious over the Jews
and those who side with them!
“Allah render us victorious over the Jews
and those who side with them!
“Allah render us victorious over the Jews
and the patrons of their arrogance!
“Allah unite our ranks and raise our
flag!
“Allah render victory upon Islam and
Muslims!”
