A senior Israeli official said yesterday the Palestinian Authority, even under new President Mahmoud Abbas, is promoting genocide against Jews and has been running a propaganda campaign similar to that seen in Nazi Germany.
Israel's Diaspora Affairs Minister Natan Sharansky held a press conference to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, in which he blasted the PA for disseminating what he said was Nazi-like propaganda, and presented a report, "Kill a Jew Go to Heaven," compiled by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israel-based media watchdog that monitors incitement in Palestinian society.
"As in Nazi Germany, there is an entire 'culture of hatred' in Palestinian society today, from textbooks to crossword puzzles, from day camps to TV music videos," Sharansky said. "Calling for the murder of Jews, as Jews, is the end result."
Report co-author Itamar Marcus, who directs Palestinian Media Watch, said Palestinian television has consistently promoted the message that "the Jews are an evil force, and [evil] is inherent to the Jews, and therefore they have to be killed." vThe report accuses the PA of constructing a "legal file," a virtual propaganda outline for incitement against Jews that uses as its template incitement from Nazi Germany. The file, the report said, consists of three phases: presenting Jews as subhuman and possessing evil qualities; convincing viewers the Jewish nation threatens the existence of Palestinians, Arabs, and the world in general; and concluding with the Palestinian version of the "final solution," the destruction of Israel and elimination of the Jews.
The incitement plan, said Marcus, is directed by the Palestinian Authority and carried out by the PA's religious, political and academic elite, and through the PA-controlled media.
At the request of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Abbas during the run up to the Palestinian elections Jan. 9 met with the head of the Palestinian Broadcasting Authority and reportedly asked him to filter television programs to prevent the broadcast of inciting material. Since then, Marcus said, the frequency of Palestinian programming calling for terrorism and the destruction of Israel has realized a slight decrease, but anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda has continued unabated.
Earlier this month, PA television blamed the Jews for causing the tsunami in southeast Asia, and preached the destruction of Israel and the U.S.
"The Muslim remembers how the Jews corrupted the land ... . They invest in the East Asian countries, which were destroyed [by the tsunami] because of the Jewish and American corruption and destruction," said Palestinian preacher Sheik Ibrahim Madiras Friday during his weekly sermon broadcast on PA television.
A week before that, Palestinian television featured a senior PA academic, Dr. Hassan Khater, founder of the Al Quds Encyclopedia, saying the killing of Jews is mandated by the prophet Mohammed.
Khater, quoting what he said was Islamic tradition, told viewers, "Mohammed said in his Hadith: 'The Hour [Day of Resurrection] will not arrive until you fight the Jews, [until a Jew will hide behind a rock or tree] and the rock and the tree will say: Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!'"
"The world was largely silent in the face of Nazi anti-Semitism in the 1930s, with tragic results. One hopes the international community will learn from the mistakes of the past and take meaningful steps in response to the promotion of anti-Semitism by Arab regimes today," Dr. Rafael Medoff, director of the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies, which focuses on how America and its allies responded to Nazism and the Holocaust, told WND.
Ping...
Muslims love to hear themselves lie. What can we put over on the illiterate, benighted Muslim masses today? How can we incite them and stir them up?
Religion of Peace ping
Seems as though Michael Moore and Al Franken are the ring leaders...
Too bad more people don't get to see this information.
By 'more people', I mean more people here in the U.S. -- the NAZI face of our enemy.
They will if you post it everywhere you think others might see it. Don't expect blather, jennings, and the rest of the dhimmis to do what needs to be done!
Example: I mine FR a lot simply to find and then post gems like this on a firearms forum. You would not believe how many posters there thank me profusely for this stuff. They can't get this anywhere else. And when I believe certain ones are worthy, I reveal my source(FR)to them.
Try it, can't hurt-and it just might help to make a difference
Israel should be rebroadcasting every demonic word by the death cultists.
This, sadly, is not news. It has been happening uninterrupted for years. Prime Minister Sharon should demand this (and all incitement) stop before going ahead with any summit or negotiations.
Ain't it the truth! SSDD! Same old sorry, tired, worn out broken record of bull!
Ping to Salem.
Now those are two faces that would crack every mirror from DC to San Francisco!
Everyone knows that the favorite book among palesites is "Mein Quran".
Just to be clear, this isn't anything new. It may not have stopped, but this isn't something that just started. It's the same ole thing.
This would be Breaking News if they stopped.
What a joke, but I doubt the PA muslim audience can appreciate it. That's right, Sheik, you've caught on. Jews and Americans can cause movement of the earth's tectonic plates, thus bringing on earthquakes and their resultant tsunamis. What maroons, but the sad thing is that their culture prefers ridiculous lies to scientific facts.
Good approach. Of course, the incitement begins with the media sources, but is followed by top-to-bottom indoctrination in the schools. That would have to cease as well. The obstacle is that Moslems don't like history, don't teach it, don't study it, and condemn history and historians.
