Kill the Jews -- What a Surprise

Palestinian Media Watch carries the translation of this speech by imam Ibrahim Mudayris on national Palestinian TV on May 13. (Pebble to Honest Reporting.) [Emphasis mine.]

With the establishment of the State of Israel, the entire Muslim nation was lost because Israel is a cancer that spread in the body of the Islamic nation; because the Jews are a virus similar to AIDS, from which the entire world is suffering... The day will come and we shall rule America, Britain, we shall rule the entire world, except the Jews. The Jews will not live under our rule agreeably and permanently, since they have been treacherous in nature throughout history... Listen to your Beloved [Muhammad], who tells you about the most dire end awaiting the Jews. The stones and trees will want Muslims to finish off every Jew.

I don't find it shocking in the sense that most of the people in the countries that surround Israel and those in its disputed territories want to slaughter all the Jews there. They say it loudly; they say it every day. Just like in Mein Kampf and in other writings from the '30s.

Just because the wolf has changed from wearing a sheet to a suit does not mean that one single thing has changed other than the means and timeframe by which they mean to obtain this goal.

This is not a secret. Israel knows this, the US knows this, the Palestinians know this. The Israeli Army has already told the people of Ashkelon to prepare for missile bombardments from Gaza as soon as it is turned over to the Palestinians.

It's mass self-delusion and double-think to think any other way at this time. The Palestinians can be divided into 4 groups: Those that want to kill the Jews now (Hamas, etc.). Those that want to kill the Jews now but see the direct approach as not tactically effective (Mahmoud Abbas, etc.). Those that oppose the killing of Jews but don't say anything because they agree with the overall Islamic/Arab goal to conquer Israel. And those that would live in peace with the Jews.

This last group is very small in my view.
