Often broadcast on official PA television. “The Hamas Ideology of Hatred and Genocide: Islamic supremacy over the world, destroying Israel and Jews, promoting terror and violence,” by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook for PMW, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Part 1: Islamic supremacy over the world
Former Foreign Minister and Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar:
“The prophetic foundation is the message of the prophet Muhammad, that Islam will enter every house and will spread over the entire world.”
[Al-Ayyam, March 25, 2007]Dr. Ahmad Bahar, Hamas (acting Speaker, Palestinian Legislative Council):
“This is Islam, that was ahead of its time with regards to human rights in the treatment of prisoners, but our people was afflicted by the cancerous lump, that is the Jews, in the heart of the Arab nation. Make us victorious over the infidels. Allah, take hold of the Jews and their allies, Allah, take hold of the Americans and their allies Allah, count them and kill them to the last one and don’t leave even one.” [PA TV, April 20, 2007]Deputy Director of Al-Aqsa [Hamas] TV, Hazem Al-Sha”arawi, discussing the children’s program Tomorrow Pioneers:
“Let’s ask history: “¦which time period was good to all communities? The Jews lived in the time of Islam [under Islamic rule] and were happy. The Christians lived in the time of Islam [under Islamic rule] and were happy. Look at the history, the prophet [Muhammad]”¦ ordered the army: “˜Do not kill a monk in his prayer room.” Even the Caliph Umar Bin Al-Khattab, [Islamic conqueror of Jerusalem in 638] when he came into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, he secured the churches and the prayer rooms. Therefore, when we talk about the mission of the restoration of Islam to its natural place [of world rule], we [are] calling for justice, and for goodness, and for world love”¦ so that the Christians will live in peace, and that even the Jews will live in peace and security.”
[Al-Aqsa TV, May 13, 2007]Text from children’s program on Hamas TV, Tomorrow Pioneers:
Hazim (Adult): “Islam will spread to all parts of the earth from one end to the other and justice and good and kindness will spread. Did history witness a time period better than that when Islam ruled?… Every day do you remember Andalus (Spain)? This dear Andalus will return [to Islam] one day.” [Al-Aqsa TV, May 11, 2007]Part 2: Destruction of Israel
Dr. Khalil Al-Hayyah, member of the Hamas political leadership and the Palestinian Legislative Council:
“The Hamas movement bases its strategy and its policy on that the option of resistance is the only option that can liberate Palestine from its [Mediterranean] sea to its [Jordan] river [ie destroy Israel].”
[Al-Risalah, Hamas newspaper, April 19, 2007]Hamas spokesman, Dr. Ismail Radwan, confirmed “¦that his movement will not recognize any existence of the Israeli enemy on an inch of Palestinian land and said, “We will liberate Palestine, all of Palestine…Palestine will not be liberated by negotiations, committees and decisions, it will only be liberated by the rifle and the “Al-Qassam” [rocket]. Therefore, prepare yourselves.”
[Al-Risalah, Hamas newspaper, April 9, 2007]Video of Ahmad Yassin, founder and former head of Hamas, about future destruction of Israel, broadcast regularly March — May 2007:
“Tel Aviv is gone. They are defeated, they have no words left. … When this process will end, they will become a state with no ability, helpless. They established a state to protect the Jews from death and murder. If death and murder chase them in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Netanya and everywhere among them, then they will say: ‘What am I doing here? I founded a state to protect me from death, and if death chases me, I want to flee and go back to Europe and America.'” [Al Aqsa TV, regularly, March — May 2007]Former Foreign Minister and Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar:
“Our position is the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine. This is the final and strategic solution for us. There is a Quranic message for us, that we will enter the Al-Aqsa mosque, and the entrance to the mosque means the entrance into all of Palestine. This is the message, no one can deny it. Anyone who denies it must check his faith and his Islam.”
[Al-Ayyam, March 25, 2007]“The representative of the Legislative Council, Dr. Yussuf Al-Sharafi, of the “˜Change and Reform” faction [Hamas], emphasized the option of Jihad and resistance to banish the thieves of the occupation, who longed to drink the blood of our massacred people… because the Jewish faith does not wish for peace nor stability, since it is a faith that is based on murder: “˜I kill, therefore I am” “¦ Israel is based only on blood and murder in order to exist, and it will disappear, with Allah’s will, through blood and Shahids [martyrs].”
[Al-Risalah, Hamas newspaper, April 12, 2007]Part 3: Demonization and extermination of Jews
The Hamas spokesman, Dr. Ismail Radwan:
“The Hour [Resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: “˜Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!–¦ We must remind our Arab and Muslim nation, its leaders and people, its scholars and students, remind them that Palestine and the Al-Aqsa mosque will not be liberated through summits nor by international resolutions, but it will be liberated through the rifle. It will not be liberated through negotiations, but through the rifle, since this occupation knows no language but the language of force”¦ O Allah, strengthen Islam and Muslims, and bring victory to your Jihad-fighting worshipers, in Palestine and everywhere”¦ Allah take the oppressor Jews and Americans and their supporters!” [PA TV, March 30, 2007]
