PA TV Broadcasts call for Killing Jews and Americans

Following are excerpts from a Friday sermon in the Zayed bin Sultan Aal
Nahyan mosque in Gaza, broadcast live on the official Palestinian Authority
television. The speaker is Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, Member of the PA
appointed "Fatwa Council" and former acting Rector of the Islamic University
in Gaza:

".None of the Jews refrain from committing any possible evil. If the Labor
party commits the evil and the crime, the Likud party stands by it; and if
the Likud party commits the evil and the crime, the Labor party stands by
it.. The Jews are Jews, whether Labor or Likud... They do not have any
moderates or any advocates of peace. They are all liars. They all want to
distort truth, but we are in possesion of the truth."

"O brother believers, the criminals, the terrorists are the Jews, who have
butchered our children, orphaned them, widowed our women and desecrated our
holy places and sacred sites. They are the terrorists. They are the ones
who must be butchered and killed, as Allah the Almighty said: 'Fight them:
Allah will torture them at your hands, and will humiliate them and will help
you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers...."

"O brothers in belief, this is the case of the Jews and their habitual
conduct, and what happened yesterday, and has been going on for two weeks,
and before that for many years, and which will be repeated in future years
unless we stand up like men and unless we have the known Muslim position,
[the position] of those who wage Jihad in the path of Allah, those who
defend their rights and who sacrifice all that is dear to them."

"O brothers in belief, the beautiful bride has a costly price and dowry....
Our bride is paradise, O brothers in belief. .The cost and the dowry of this
bride, the dowry of this paradise, is that we fight in the path of Allah,
and kill and be killed."

"Allah has purchased from the believers their persons and their property in
return for the promise that they shall have paradise, for they fight in the
cause of Allah, and they slay the enemy and are slain. This is a promise
that He [Allah] has made incumbent upon Himself, as set out in the Torah,
the Gospel, and the Koran."

".We say to the Jews, and we say to Clinton, and we say to all those who
supported the Jews and still cooperate with the Jews, we say to them, that
this will not shake us, we are the Palestinian people, who are positioned in
the land of the Isra' and Mi'raj. It will not shake a single hair of ours.
Our determination will not sway. We will raise the banner of Jihad."

".America and Europe and the world were shocked by the kidnapping of three
tramps, the kidnapping of three wretched soldiers, and the killing of two in
Ramallah. But their feelings were not moved, and they did not shudder when
they saw the children Muhammad ad-Durrah and others women, and men, and
youths being martyred by cannons and missiles, and all the barbaric
instruments that the Jews possess."

"They were moved, for the sake of five persons, and the world went into
turmoil and it will not stop for Clinton or for the old hag Albright, they
will not be relieved, and they will not cease to be concerned, and they will
not rest until the Jews return to their families. But as for the
Palestinians, as for this pure blood, it can go to Hell in the eyes of the
Americans and Europe and the Jews."

"This is the truth, O Brothers in belief. From here, Allah the almighty has
called upon us not to ally with the Jews or the Christians, not to like
them, not to become their partners, not to support them, and not to sign
agreements with them. And he who does that, is one of them, as Allah said:
'O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies, for
they are allies of one another. Who from among you takes them as allies
will indeed be one of them.'"

"...The Jews are the allies of the Christians, and the Christians are the
allies of the Jews, despite the enmity that exists between them. The enmity
between the Jews and the Christians is deep, but all of them are in
agreement against the monotheists against those who say, 'There is no God
but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger,' that is they are against you, O
Muslims."

"Even if an agreement of Gaza is signed - we shall not forget Haifa, and
Acre, and the Galilee, and Jaffa, and the Triangle and the Negev, and the
rest of our cities and villages. It is only a matter of time. The weak
will not remain forever weak, and the strong will not remain forever
strong... If we are weak today . and we are not able to regain our rights,
then at least we have to pass on the banner waving high to our children
and grandchildren..."

".None of the factions is allowed to stand on the sidelines at this stage,
or not to think well of avenging our pure martyrs and wounded. .Our people
must unite in one trench, and receive armaments from the Palestinian
leadership, to confront the Jews. By Allah, the Jews, O brothers in belief,
do not know, nor have they ever known throughout history, anything but force
and Jihad in the path of Allah. The Jews are like a [gas] pedal as long as
you step on it with your foot, it doesn't move, but if you lift your foot
from it, it hurts you and punishes you. This is the case of the Jews."

"Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight
them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you
are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them and those who
stand by them they are all in one trench, against the Arabs and the Muslims
because they established Israel here, in the beating heart of the Arab
world, in Palestine. They created it to be the outpost of their
civilization and the vanguard of their army, and to be the sword of the
West and the crusaders, hanging over the necks of the monotheists, the
Muslims in these lands. They wanted the Jews to be their spearhead ."

". Let us put our trust in Allah, close ranks, and unite our words, and the
slogan of us all should be, 'Jihad! Jihad! For the sake of Palestine, and
for the sake of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa!'"

"...We will not give up a single grain of soil of Palestine, from Haifa, and
Jaffa, and Acre, and Mulabbas [Petah Tikva] and Salamah, and Majdal
[Ashkelon], and all the land, and Gaza, and the West Bank ."

"...Allah, deal with the Jews, your enemies and the enemies of Islam. Deal
with the crusaders, and America, and Europe behind them, O Lord of the
worlds. ."
