PA children’s magazine: Muhammad ordered Muslim kids to throw rocks at Jews

Nov 19, 2017 2:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’” (Muslim 6985)

“Muhammad ordered kids to throw rocks at Jews, according to PA-funded PLO magazine for children,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, November 19, 2017:

A poem in the Palestinian youth magazine Zayzafuna teaches children that throwing rocks at Jews is something mandated by Muhammad, Islam’s prophet. The funders of the magazine include the Palestinian Authority.

The following lines were part of the poem printed in the magazine’s October issue together with the image above of a kid throwing rocks:

“O children of my country, sing to the occupied homeland so it will be liberated…

Sing by the order of Prophet [Muhammad]
that we carry a rock
That we will throw at the people of the Gharqad [tree]”
[Zayzafuna, October 2017]
That Jews are the intended target is clear from the reference to the Gharqad tree – “the tree of the Jews.” According to Muslim tradition Jews will try to hide behind the Gharqad tree when the Muslims come to kill them on Judgment Day.

The story of stone or tree beckoning a Muslim to kill a Jew appears in numerous Islamic texts. One example is the following Hadith from the Sahih Muslim book of Hadith:

“The last Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them until the Jews hide behind a stone or a tree, and the stone or a tree will say: ‘Muslim, or servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him’; but the Gharqad tree will not say [this], for it is the tree of the Jews.”
Palestinian Media Watch has documented problematic content in the magazine before. One story, allegedly a dream by a young Palestinian girl, glorified Hitler and presented his killing of Jews as a positive accomplishment for the benefit of humanity. Another issue of Zayzafuna published sayings that it attributed to Hitler.

Zayzafuna is a PLO magazine for children partially funded by the PA. The magazine, which includes material written by both the magazine’s staff and child readers, represents the values of the educators on the magazine’s staff and serves as a window into the minds of the Palestinian children submitting material to the magazine. Zayzafuna’s website no longer exists but stated (in May 2016) that the magazine’s advisory board is comprised of PA officials and educators, including Jihad Zakarneh, PA Deputy Minister of Education, and Abd Al-Hakim Abu Jamous, Head of the Media Department at the PA Ministry of Education. Zayzafuna included a note on its third page acknowledging the PA Ministry of Culture for its financial support of the printing of the magazine. In May 2011, the Deputy Chairman of the Zayzafuna organization Abd Al-Karim Ziyada explained on PA TV that the PA gives “a monthly payment of 10,000 shekels ($2,700) to cover the magazine’s [costs].” [Official PA TV, May 9 and 13, 2011]

The following is the full version of the poem in the youth magazine:

A poem by Syrian poet Sulaiman Al-Issa
Headline: “The children of my country”
“O children of my country, sing to the occupied homeland so it will be liberated
Sing for a wide space that will inspire the revolutionaries and the revolution
In the field so they will strike roots
Sing to the sun so it will send light for freedom
Sing to the moon so we will remain awake at night
Together with those who love my country
On summer nights
Inspiring those who love Allah
To hold the morning prayers
Together with those who come to the mosque
Sing by the order of Prophet [Muhammad]
that we carry a rock

That we will throw at the people of the Gharqad [tree] (i.e., the Jews, who according to Muslim tradition will try to hide behind the Gharqad tree when the Muslims kill them on Judgement Day; see note below)”

[Zayzafuna, October 2017]…

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/pm-pansabbas-for-telling-trump-palestinians-teach-peace/
    By Jacob Magid 4 May 2017,

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday criticized Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for telling US President Donald Trump that the Palestinians educate their children in “a culture of peace,” saying the comment was “unfortunately not true.”

    In his first reaction to Wednesday’s White House sit-down between US Trump and Abbas, Netanyahu objected to the PA leader’s claim, saying the Palestinians “name their schools after mass murderers of Israelis and they pay terrorists,” while reaffirming Israel’s commitment to peace.

    TRUMP BLASTED ABBAS FOR LYING TO HIM ABOUT INCITEMENT: “YOU TRICKED ME!”

    https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/230295

    Trump furious with Abbas: You lied to me
    President Trump reportedly outraged with Palestinian Authority leader. ‘The Israelis showed me that you are involved in incitement.’
    by David Rosenberg, 28/05/17

    Trump met with Abbas in the PA-controlled city of Bethlehem last week during his two-day visit to Israel. The two held a joint press conference, at which time the president praised Abbas’ commitment to restarting negotiations with Israel for a final status agreement.

    But according to a report by Channel 2 Sunday evening, the closed-door meeting between the president and the PA chairman was anything but cordial.

    A US official present during the meeting claims the president expressed outrage with Abbas, yelling at him regarding Abbas’ claims that his Fatah faction was not involved in anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement.

    “YOU TRICKED ME IN WASHINGTON,” the president is said to have yelled at Abbas, referencing the PA leader’s March trip to the US capital.

    During his March get-together with the president, Abbas claimed he was dedicated to advancing peaceful relations with Israel, and that the PA was not engaged in incitement against the Jewish state.

    The Hadith is referring to evil Jews like fascist Zionists, not all Jews as a race. the Quran clearly stated that there are evil people among Jews and there are few who are righteous. It is evil Jews who will trigger wars with all Muslims which will lead to their total destruction towards the end of this physical world

        Only not being a pious enough Muslim, Barry. Ibrahim itace muhgammed has been enthusiastic about other Muslims murdering them.

      “The Hadith is (not) referring to all Jews as a race…(but nevertheless refers to) their TOTAL destruction”…oy vey. Who do you think you’re fooling?

      The only Jews who are righteous in the Qur’an are the ones who become Muslims, you pea-brained liar.

      Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qub Al-Rahma TV January 17, 2009:

      “If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not, we will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels, not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: “The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them, how deluded they are. It is Allah who said they are infidels.

      “Your belief regarding the Jews should be, first, that they are infidels, and second, that they are enemies. They are enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing. Allah said, “You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists.” Third, you must believe that the Jews will never stop fighting and killing us. They fight, not for the sake of land and security, as they claim, but for the sake of their religion: “And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion, if they can.

      “This is it. We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will not end until the final battle–and this is the fourth point. You must believe that will will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the face of the Earth. It is not me who says so. The Prophet said: “Judgment Day will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind the stones and trees, and the stones and trees will call: “O Muslim! oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him-except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews.”

      This is what you believe. This is what Islam teaches. It is your fellow barbarians who fight not for land or security, as they claim, but for the sake of their religion, and it’s eternal/infernal hatre.

      Ibrahim, you claim that it only calls for the extermination and murder of “SOME” Jews…Okay, then. As long as you will only murder “a few”, then we’re convinced that you can go ahead.

      Wrong! All genocide is wrong. All murder is wrong. Genocide is the evilest of all crimes.

      hey muslim, I have another question for you….this late summer/ early fall there were a couple of hurricanes that hit the U.S. (Harvey and Irma)….there were news posting of muslims in various places around the world celebrating and praising allah for the destruction of the infidels….giving allah credit for the hurricanes and subsequent devastation/ loss of life….so here’s my question/ comments….very recently there was a major earthquake on the Iran/ Iraq border with devastating loss of life…so was that allah causing the earthquake and subsequent loss of life (over 300 hundred)???? Was it shiite or sunni that allah was gunning for?? And now here’s my comment – I didn’t see infidels cheering the terrible loss of life as a result of the earthquake….can you explain this?

      The appalling Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      The Hadith is referring to evil Jews like fascist Zionists, not all Jews as a race. the Quran clearly stated that there are evil people among Jews and there are few who are righteous. It is evil Jews who will trigger wars with all Muslims which will lead to their total destruction towards the end of this physical world.
      …………………………….

      My Hod, what claptrap. Ibrahim itace muhammed *himself* has said that in the last days that Muslims will murder *all* of the Jews–he said this just a few days ago.

      And what Jews does he consider not to be evil? Those who are fine with Muslims oppressing, raping, and murdering them and their children, and offer not so much as a complaint.

      For Ibrahim.
      What do you think of these Islamic scriptures? They are speaking about the Jews and they don’t seem to agree with you. Are the Islamic scriptures correct and you wrong or are you correct and the Islamic scriptures wrong?
      I haven’t heard any reports of a rock crying out so that means the Muslims have still to fight the Jews – if these scriptures are correct..
      I wonder why you don’t believe this? Perhaps it is taqiyya.

    The doom of the rocks will be carried out when Jews completely demolish the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock. —

    These poor children don’t have a chance. They will be used as human shields or sent off with explosives strapped to them to kill themselves and as many Israelis as they can get close to.

    What muslims don’t understand is that in the Biblical version of God
    the one who will judge their souls is ….the God of the Jews(the God of Moses/ the God of Israel).

    {In the Christian understanding of God,the authority to judge is given to Jesus Christ.
    Who is….. Jewish}

    Now do you think all those anti-Christian or anti-Jewish muslims realize how awkward that will be for them when the One who judges them will be …. Jewish?

    Imagine how awkward it must have been for muhammed,a mass-murderer of Jews to come before the Judgement throne of God….the God of Moses.{or Jesus Christ} if you believe in the Jewish {or Christian}Biblical version of God.

    Is it likely that God would spare a mass-murderer of Jews,a false prophet and a man who never obeyed any of God’s Commandments??

    Of course not.

    And would jibreel{“the enemy of the Jews},that fallen angel who impersonates the Angel Gabriel:would he be welcome in Heaven or isn’t it more likely he would belong in ..hell?After all,an “angel” who is classed as the “enemy of the Jews” is no angel of the God of Moses and must belong to the adversary of God.

    That would male jibreel….a fallen angel.

    Talking rocks? Talking snakes. Not much different than a snake saying, “Eat that apple. You’ll find it delicious and it will make you smart.” Rocks don’t talk. Snakes don’t talk.

  11. DRHazard says

    Nov 24, 2017 at 5:38 pm

    According to the Quran/Hadith ants can talk, trees can talk rocks can talk, and donkeys can talk.

    What happened to the Golden Age of Islam? Muslims decided that scientific discovery was evil and gave up learning. They have remained in the same state of ignorance for hundreds of years. That’s why all majority Muslim countries, without resources that can be extracted by hiring non-Muslims, operate at a 7th century level.
    Everything a Muslim terrorist needs for an attack against non-Muslims was invented and built by non Muslims. The planes that fly people to Mecca, their cell phones, toilets, cars, light bulbs, air conditioners, refrigerators, computers, fertilizer, antibiotics, kitchen utensils, shoes, and most of their food is purchased from non-Muslims. Muhammad himself only acquired things by stealing. And Muslims are expected to hold him and his life as an example for how to live. It scares the shit out of me that Pakistan and soon Iran, has nuclear weapons. It’s like giving a machine gun to a 4 year old who hates anybody who has more stuff or is smarter than he is, which is the real reason Muslims hate Jews. They created a thriving economy full of hard working intelligent people, and did it without any significant natural resources. And there it is on the map surrounded by countries full of people who blame everybody else for the squalid, uneducated, violent, hate and fear mongering state of affairs they have lived with since the birth of Islam.
