Abu Hamza’s desire to destroy Israel comes from his Islamic antisemitism, while most Western analysts would assume that he and others like him are antisemitic because they hate Israel.
The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“In Military Exercise, Palestinian Islamic Jihad Fighters Simulate Raiding An Israeli Settlement: We Will Fight Until Palestine Is Liberated, Cleansed Of The Filth Of The Zionists,” MEMRI, March 13, 2023:
On March 13, 2023, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, published on its Telegram channel a video of a recent military exercise it held titled “Loyalty to the Rebels’ West Bank”. The video begins with an excerpt from a speech by Al-Quds Brigades spokesman Abu Hamza in which he said the group renews its pledge to Allah to continue fighting until Palestine is liberated and cleansed “from the filth of the plundering Zionists.” The video then features footage from the exercise, during which Al-Quds Brigades fighters launched rockets, carried out surveillance of Israeli armored vehicles along the border of the Gaza Strip, and simulated a raid on an Israeli community. In addition, the voice of Abu Hamza can be heard saying: “The battlefields will remain firmly united, and we will not back down, regardless of the sacrifices.”
Abu Hamza: “As we witness the blessed zeal around us, we renew the pledge to Allah to continue on the path of valor until we attain the greatest goal – liberating Palestine in its entirety and cleansing it from the filth of the plundering Zionists. The battlefields will remain firmly united, and we will not back down, regardless of the sacrifices.

The Jews were in “Palestine” some 2,000 years before pre- Islamic Arabs turned up. imagine if “Whitey” had said this about Natives in the Americas, Africa, Australasia. Even “Whitey” Russians, the Muscovy as they stomped East & Southt hrough lands that eventually became Russia.

Islam is not just a religion. It’s also a spot cleanser that tidies up the “filth” left behind by Jews. It is a must for the Arab man who sees impurity everywhere in the World and is forced to “kidnap” a Muslima housekeeper from the Philippines to keep things squeaky clean. The man who longs for a return of mask and distance mandates. Who washes his hands after he washes his hands. A man who knows the people Allah considers impure which is a level of disgust he dreams of attaining someday – hopefully before the “Day of Pigs” events unfold,

Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman pledges to cleanse ‘Palestine’ from ‘the filth of the plundering Zionists’
……………………………………..
And fools accuse democratic Israel of “apartheid”. Do they ever listen to what the “Palestinian” Muslims actually say? This is true apartheid. This is in fact common throughout the Islamic world.

Every week or so some Islamic spokesman makes this same pledge and then fails to deliver. Allah must be quite disappointed by now.
