Afflicting Jews is Muslim destiny -
Palestinian Television Religious Sermon
By Itamar Marcus

The promotion of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel hatred continued to be a
significant theme of Palestinian television programming during month of
Ramadan. During a televised sermon, Jews were referred to as "cursed ... the
brothers of monkeys and pigs, with a stream of curses that will continue
until the Resurrection..." Moreover, attacking and afflicting Jews was
presented as part of the destiny Muslims and Arabs have to fulfill, as a
religious obligation from Allah: "Allah loves those who fight on his behalf.
Allah said against the Jews ... 'your Lord has declared that He will surely
send against them [the Jews] until Resurrection, those who will afflict them
with terrible torment." Traditional Islam has interpreted this to mean that
Muslims are the ones who will torment the Jews until Resurrection [Tabari].

The following are selections from this sermon:

"Praise be to Allah, who has cursed [the Jews], the brothers of monkeys and
pigs, with a stream of curses that will continue until the Resurrection of
the dead. He has warned us against their evil and their arrogance, and has
said: 'You will find that the most brazen among mankind, with hatred towards
the believers, are the Jews and the Idolaters.' [Koran, 81,5] It is not
foreign to them to shed our blood. They murder and slaughter us, demolish
our homes, and destroy everything that is important to us. The Jews are
Jews, and we are forbidden to forget their character traits even for a
moment, even for a blink of an eye. O [Muslims] Servants of Allah! The Jews
are those who tried to murder your Prophet in order to expunge the call [to
Islam]. It is no wonder that it has been legitimized [for them] to kill and
slaughter us . Our enemies are waging a war against us, against Islam and
the Muslims in particular, against those who demand their rights, and
against any Muslim who seeks to hold his head up. They are trying to subdue
us with hard oppression. Such are the Jews, who are fighting against us
during Ramadan and our peaceful festival, and also during the holy months,
because they are Idolaters, heretics, whose faith is false. While we are the
believers in the truth and in the true faith. Allah loves those who fight on
his behalf. Allah said against the Jews and the Idolaters 'your Lord has
declared that he will surely send against them [Jews] until Resurrection,
those [Arabs and Muslims] who will afflict them with terrible torment.'
Prayer and blessing to the Imam of the Jihad fighters, [Prophet] Mohammed,
who waged a Jihad against the Jews, and a significant Jihad. He warned us,
in strongest terms, against them. He said, after he expelled them from
Arabia, "two religions will not be here together." . It is not unusual for
the Jews, nor uncharacteristic of their traits, or their ancestry, or their
wild behavior, what they are doing . slaughter after slaughter, invasion
after invasion this has been the custom of the Jews throughout the
generations and the ages. This is especially so when the Muslims are united
and seek their full rights, since they [Muslims] are the ones with the Truth
and the Jews have Falsehood."

[Palestinian Television Dr. Mustafa Najem Dec. 6, 2002]
