Natan Sharansky says that nothing has changed with the coming of Abbas. All this is a manifestation of the jihad ideology that teaches that, in the words of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad, “the Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him'” (Sahih Bukhari, IV:52:177).
From the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to Enzo:
The “Kill a Jew — Go to Heaven” presentation, compiled by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israel-based organization that monitors incitement in Palestinian society, and distributed under Sharansky’s auspices, accuses the Palestinian media of dehumanizing Jews similar to ways the Nazis did.
A fundamental message broadcast in sermons, academic discourse and even children’s shows, according to report co-author Itamar Marcus, is that “the Jews are an evil force, and it’s inherent to the Jews, and therefore they have to be killed.”…
It is important to document this phenomenon, he said, because many people view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as centered on political issues, when the Palestinians have tied redemption to killing Jews. “It’s not connected to borders, it’s not connected to compromise, and no compromise will be reached [once] it’s a battle of God against the Jews.”…
“The whole world has to be aware of anti-Semitism, because it isn’t just the problem of the Jews. It’s the problem of any democratic society,” a Sharansky aide said. “The world has to understand what we are dealing with. It’s not only whether there was a bombing yesterday or not. If you don’t change the atmosphere in books or on TV, it won’t be enough.”
