Religious leader presenting the conquering and killing of the Jews of Israel by Muslims as God's goal - Aug. 19, 2005

Muhammad Ali Deputy Director of the Palestinian Clerics Association in Lebanon, Al-Manar, Aug. 19, 2005:
"The Prophet [Muhammad] foretold:
'The Resurrection will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, and the stone and tree will say: 'Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew. It means of course the occupying Zionist Jew: 'there is a Jew behind me,come and kill him'. We will enter [Israel] as conquerors Allah willing, and will enter as liberators, not through negotiations, but through Jihad and resistance [terror], because the Hadith goes: 'The Muslims will kill them' - there is a killing operation."

Iranian TV: Jews stone crucified early Christians

A TV series currently being broadcast on Iranian television features an odious scene of Jews eagerly stoning crucified Christians. As-hab Al-Kahaf (The People of the Cave) is a fictionalized account of the Roman oppression of the early Christians, based on the ancient tradition of the Seven Sleepers. In one scene, the Romans have crucified a number of Christians. Stereotypically evil-looking Jews wearing prayer shawls notice the crucifixions, and bribe the Roman officer to permit them to stone the Christians.

Egyptian Video Clip: Hate USA and Israel

An Egyptian music video clip promoting hatred of the USA and Israel, entitled "Hey Arab Leaders," is a major hit in Egypt and the Arab world. Among other hate messages, USA and Israel are "bullies" against the world. it claims Israel destroyed the World Trade Center, and the US and Israel are dividing up the Arab world.

"...Two faces of the same coin, America and Israel.
They made the world a jungle and ignited the fuse.
America spread its wings, doesn't care at all.
No one can stop her, no one can catch her.
Soon he (Bush) will say Iran, then he will say Syria,
But he is silent about [North] Korea.
About that [Twin] Tower, oh people
Definitely! His friends [Israel] were the ones who brought it down.
What terrorism!! [Visual shows Sharon pushing the button]
How many years are left.
For America and Israel acting as bullies. . . "
The singer, Shaaban Abdul Rahim, interviewed in the official PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida, said that his personal feelings of hatred of Israel and the US were representative of the sentiments of the Arab world in general.

The following is from the interview in the PA daily:

"...He [Shaaban] talks about what is in the heart of all Arab nations and his song "Hey Arabs Leaders"... demonstrates the contempt of American President Bush for all the UN decisions .

. . Shaaban's last song "I hate Israel," had great success and the song "Hey Arabs Leaders" also is having a big impact upon everyone...We asked Shaaban about the idea behind the song and he said: "I found that the Arab nation needs a new song with words that will be a clear statement of refusal and resistance. I made the clip because I feel the words and I'm not afraid of 'Israel' or America or their threats and I'm no better then those who are dying every day in Palestine or Iraq."
Q: We heard that you refused [to participate in] parties is America. Is that true?
Shaaban: "I was asked to many parties in America for the Arab communities, and although it is worth a lot of money I will not go to America and I boycott even American cigarettes...I wrote the song 'I hate Israel' in 2000...we did not anticipate the greatness of the success. About the song 'Hey Arabs Leaders,' it must express things that are happening...in the clip we made Sharon's hands long, holding a cake with the writing 'The Arab World,' and Sharon and Bush are dividing up the cake among those with them."

"The Diaspora" [Al-Shatat]

The Diaspora [Al-Shatat], the Syrian-produced series aired last year during the Ramadan on Al-Manar (Hizbollah TV) is now being aired on Iranian TV. The series covers the period of the Zionist movement, and is primarily a depiction of the classic anti-Semitic libel that attributes to Jews the desire for world domination. The series revolves around the "Secret Jewish World Government," whose members meet and plan how to use their control and influence over the leaders of the world to direct all of history. The Jewish Government is shown plotting and causing the Communist revolution in Russia, the World Wars, encouraging the Nazi murder of Jews in the Second World War, and engineering the use of atomic bombs on Japan. The Jews are described as evil and bloodthirsty, interested only in power and world domination. In addition to the global threats attributed to Jews, the story line includes numerous horrific libels, such as a graphic episode featuring Jews slitting the throat of a Christian boy to drain his blood for Passover Matzah, and the brutal execution of a Jew by a "Talmudic" court, by pouring boiling lead down his throat. [Warning: These two links, which appear below, are very difficult to view.] All of the anti-Semitic libels in this series are presented as fact.
