Screw Negotiations, We Want Jihad!

MEMRI TV has a clip of an interview with the Palestinian Clerics Association Deputy Director. Lots of people don't like MEMRI because MEMRI translates what radicals say on Arab television.

Palestinian Clerics Association Deputy Director on Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV: "We Will Enter Palestine as Conquerors, Not Through Negotiations But Through Jihad"; According to Prophetic Tradition, All Palestine Will Be Liberated and The Zionist Entity Wiped Out.

Of course I realise that Jews are not immune from extremists of their own, but I don't recall a respected Rabbi appearing on TV spreading this sort of hate.

This guy doesn't say that Islam is a religion of peace. There must be some killing before we can all live happily ever after.

Sheikh Muhammad Ali: "The Prophet Muhammad foretold in a hadith that 'Judgment Day would come only when the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims would kill the Jews, and the stone and tree would say: 'Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew' – of course he was referring to the occupying Zionist Jew – 'there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him', except for the Gharqad tree.'" [...] "Allah willing, we will enter [Palestine] as conquerors and liberators, not through negotiations, but through Jihad and resistance, because the hadith goes: 'And the Muslims would kill the Jews' – there is killing involved."

Yep, this is the sort of trash that indoctrinates young Arabs across the Middle East. Openly available on Al Manar and many other Arab TV stations.

The moderator tries to impress the Sheikh making a nice summary of what the Sheikh said. But he fails to impress. The Sheikh will have to plot against the moderator, because the moderator has been planting the wrong tree.

Moderator: [Boring summary]... Sheikh Muhammad Ali: "How peculiar it is that the Zionists believe this, while many leaders, regimes and Arabs do not believe this. This is very sad, strange, and puzzling. Of course, I mean the Muslims and Arabs that are misinformed. The Jews acknowledge this because they find it in their forged Torah, in their Talmud." [...] "Today, the Jews plant this tree in large numbers in Palestine, because they acknowledge this." Moderator: "The Ghardaq tree?" Sheikh Muhammad Ali: "Not Ghardaq, Gharqad.
