PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY OFFICIALLY TEACHES THE HATRED OF JEWS IN THEIR SCHOOLS
The religious ideology of the Palestinian Authority religious leaders can be summarized by eight essential principles: Regarding the Jews: 1-Jews are the enemy of Allah. 2-Islam is fighting a continuous religious war against the Jews. 3-The killing of Jews is a religious obligation. 4-Palestinians are the vanguard in this war against the Jews, and all Islamic nations are obligated to assist in this war. Regarding Israel: 1-All of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea (which includes all of Israel) is a religious Waqf -- an Islamic religious trust. Any Moslem who relinquishes any part to Israel is damned to Hell. 2-All agreements with Israel are inherently temporary in nature, and are signed only because of Israel's temporary balance of power advantage. 3-Allah will replace Moslems who shirk their obligation to battle Israel. 4-The ultimate destruction of Israel is a certainty.
Five months ago, a consortium of Arab media and TV networks produced and aired a multi mini series documentary: "The Conspiracy of the Zionists" which depicted the Jews as "Blood Drinkers" and "Manipulators of World Economy". The show was aired on almost all major Arab television stations. It was produced by businessmen and activists from Syria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Amal Party and Shiites from Southern Lebanon. The infamous documentary had one single purpose: To portray the Jews as the enemy of the Muslims and Allah. Outrageous frames and passages from the documentary showed "devilish Jewish Creatures" meeting around a table and discussing how they were planning on kidnapping Christian children to sacrifice them and to drink their blood. Despite an international outrage and disgust in world communities, the Arab networks went ahead and aired 12 episodes. Of course, Al Jazeera was delighted and reportedly bought the rights of the production and distribution of the documentary. We thought that those irresponsible and hatred fueled media propaganda campaigns would stop, en vue of the the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and Abbas' promises to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, that all the hatred campaigns against the Jews will cease. But the vicious campaigns of vengeance and hatred did not stop at all. On the contrary, they intensified and mushroomed on an unprecedented huge scale. Just a few days following the peace meeting between Sharon And Abbas and a public statement issued by Abbas in which she promised the Israeli Prime Minister and the people of Israel that "all acts of violence and hatred campaigns against the Jews will stop", his Palestinian Authority circulated in Palestinian schools brochures, printed courses and pamphlets encouraging the children to intensify their hatred for the Jews. In addition, the Palestinian Authority produced and aired a TV program with a motto "KILL A JEW AND YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN".

A fundamental theological tenet inculcated by the PA media is that Jews -- even as individuals -- have no right to exist
Palestinian
Media Watch presented a report in the Knesset this week detailing ongoing
officially-taught hatred of Jews and Israel in the Palestinian Authority.
The report, entitled "Kill a Jew - Go To Heaven," documents the Palestinian
Authority’s (PA) ideology of hatred of Jews and Israel that is currently
being taught in its schools and on its media. The report shows how the PA
leadership mandates the killing of Jews - up to and including genocide - as
a religious obligation. The report notes, "The murder of Jews is presented
not only as beneficial to Muslims and Arabs, but as necessary for all
humankind... These findings are based on a thorough study and analysis of
eight years of official PA television and PA-controlled daily newspapers.
This report documents how this hate ideology has been taught consistently
for years, well before the war started in September 2000, and continues even
after the death of Yassir Arafat." At the Knesset briefing to a group of 80
ambassadors and diplomats, Palestinian Media Watch Director Itamar Marcus
presented many examples from the PA-controlled print and broadcast media,
including numerous video excerpts. He showed the systematic way in which
this hatred of Jews is promoted by the PA's religious, political and
academic elites, and is taught via cultural, educational, religious and even
entertainment frameworks.
‘Kill a Jew - Go to Heaven’
Marcus and Associate Director Barbara Crook authored the report. Minister of Diaspora Affairs Natan Sharansky requested the special presentation that Marcus gave the diplomats. Minister Sharansky, together with Marcus, also presented “Kill a Jew - Go to Heaven” to the media this week in two separate press conferences. Minister Sharansky sharply attacked the PA, stating, “Even as the Palestinian Authority works to prevent a few hundred terrorists from attacking Jews and Israelis, it prepares hundreds of thousands more.” “As in Nazi Germany, there is an entire 'culture of hatred' in Palestinian society today, from textbooks to crossword puzzles, from day camps to TV music videos," Sharansky added, "and the end result is the calling for the murder of Jews as Jews." Marcus told Arutz-7 today, "There has been a drop in the number of incitement clips on PA television of late, but the message is no different. There are many articles giving the message that now is the time to reap the fruits of the past four years of violence. They call it resistance against Israel. There is no inkling of an indication that Israel has a right to exist." This week, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) toured PA Television studios, instructing the director to "transmit the reality as it is, without censorship or cosmetics." Gal Berger, of the News First Class website, reports, "Following Arafat's death, there were reports in the Arab Media that Abu Mazen had ordered an end to incitement against Israel in the Palestinian media. PA elements criticized him... Abu Mazen's remarks [to the TV director] are designed to be a response to the various critics on this matter." The full report "Kill a Jew - Go to Heaven" builds a detailed case - 18 pages of quotes and cartoons from PA television and print media - showing that the PA campaign against the Jews has three stages: 1-Stage 1 defines what characterizes the Jew - "defective, corrupt, descendants of monkeys and pigs, enemy of God, etc." 2-Stage 2 demonstrates how these characteristics endanger the world, as the Jews "plan and execute heinous crimes, cause wars and disasters, endanger all humanity." 3-Stage 3 instructs how to fight back against the Jews, by subjugating and killing them.

Palestinian TV, radio, newspapers and textbooks -- in teaching the Islamic attitude toward Jews -- have fueled an intense hatred for Israel and promoted violent jihad.

The International Herald wrote: "One of the most meaningful gauges of the integrity of a peace process and its likelihood for success is the degree to which the "peace partners" educate toward peace. It is for this reason that the entire education apparatus of the Palestinian Authority, both formal and informal, has been such a tragic disappointment. Instead of seizing the opportunity to educate the future generations to live with Israel in peace, the Palestinian Authority has done everything in its power to teach hatred to young minds. Since the hatred in the Palestinian textbooks was exposed and world pressure was mounted to eliminate the hatred, various defenders of the curriculum, like Roger Avenstrup ("Where is all that 'incitement?"' Views, Dec. 18) have surfaced, legitimizing the problematic education. The truth is that the Palestinian schoolbooks, both old and new, incite hatred, violence and anti-Semitism, and defenders are tragically enabling the Palestinian Authority to avoid necessary changes in its education system."

Itamar Marcus is the director of the Palestinian Media Watch. Mr. Marcus was
appointed the Israeli representative (communications specialist) to the
Trilateral [Israeli- Palestinian-American] Anti-Incitement Committee
established under the Wye Accords. From 1998 - 2000 Mr. Marcus served as
director of research for the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace, and
composed reports on PA, Syrian, and Jordanian Schoolbooks.
Itamar Marcus in his official report, wrote: " Throughout history, religious wars have been fought in the name of different gods. The premise of the Oslo Accords was that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was not an irreconcilable religious war, but one over borders. However, the Palestinian religious leaders, all appointees of the PA political leadership, are publicly preaching that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is part of Islam's eternal religious war against the Jews. Jews are portrayed as the eternal enemies of Allah, and the killing of Jews as Allah's will. On the national level, Allah prohibits acceptance of Israel's existence and will destroy it. This ideology is preached in sermons and religious lessons that are broadcast every Friday on official Palestinian TV and radio, and from the religious lessons appearing in PA newspapers and children's textbooks. The Palestinians have redefined the conflict from one over borders, in which compromise may be a solution, into a religious war in which compromise is heretical. The implications for future peace are ominous. This report is not brought as a critique of Islam's religious traditions, nor does it claim to represent authentic Islam. Rather it demonstrates the way Palestinian Authority religious leaders are selecting, interpreting and teaching Islam. Although Islam has positive references and traditions regarding Jews, the PA religious leaders have chosen to cite only negative references in their religious teaching, using the traditional sources to justify and even to demand uncompromising hatred of Jews and Israel."
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PERPETRATES EVILS IN THE NAME OF GOD
A dance segment on PA TV this week, filled with hatred for Israel, accuses the Jewish State of torturing and burning Arabs in the name of God - despite Abu Mazen's promise to remove such incitement.
Mahmood Abbas has assured Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon that, he will remove any and all materials which advocate the hatred
of the Jews. But his promises are smoke in a heavy wind. Statements of hate
and annihilation of the Jewish people are constantly broadcasted on the
Palestinian-Arab television networks and affiliates. The most alarming display
of hate was illustrated via a broadcasted song which encouraged the
Palestinians to hate the Jewish people and accused the Israelis of killing,
torturing, burning and exterminating Arabs, children and women in the name of
God. The song came as a Palestinian popular expression as well as, an Islamic
religious necessity for all Muslims. Songs of hatred are not a novelty on the
Arab media and TV channels. But this time, as stated Palestinian Media Watch's
Barbara Crook and Itmar Marcus, the song introduced a new nuance of hatred
into Abbas controlled programs: The assertion that the alleged Israeli evils
were perpetrated in the name of God. Marcus and Crook said that the reasoning
behind the new hate theme, could be the justification of the Palestinian
Authority's portrayal of genocide as religious necessity -- the message here
is that Israel is killing Palestinians in God's name." The aired Palestinian
show began with a zoom in on a Palestinian woman writing the show title over a
map of the entirety of Israel with an overlapped title/message: "ISRAEL IS
OCCUPIED PALESTINE". The Palestinian Media Watch reported "that the PA teaches
an ideology of virulent hatred of Jews and Israel that mandates the killing of
Jews solely because they are Jews. The murder of Jews is presented not only as
beneficial to Muslims and Arabs, but as necessary for all humankind. The above
findings are based on a thorough study and analysis of eight years of official
PA television and PA-controlled daily newspapers."
The lyrics of the Arab song:
O my God, hear my prayer,
Here I am O Lord, alive
In your name, my God, they tortured me
In your name, my God, they banished me
In your name they exterminated
In your name they ruled.
O my God, hear my prayer
...In your name, my God, they tortured me
In your name, my God, they banished me
In your name, they destroyed
In your name they ruled.
O my God, hear my prayer
In our homes they attacked us
They threatened us with destruction
They pushed us to annihilation.
...
