PA-Disseminated Anti-Semitism has Made Palestinians Most Anti-Semitic in the World, Report Shows

Jerusalem, 27 January, 2020 (TPS) -- Anti-Semitism prevalent and rampant among Palestinians is the direct result of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) teachings and messages that Jews pose a threat to all humanity, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) has found.
PMW authored a special report on PA anti-Semitism ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and noted that “one of the great failures of the international community has been its tolerant attitude” towards the PA’s “systematic demonization of Jews.”
PMW has found that the fundamental message of PA anti-Semitism is that Jews present a threat not just to Palestinians but to all humanity and the implicit message, sometimes expressed explicitly, that the only solution to the Jewish problem is the elimination of the Jews.
An example of this is a sermon by Sheikh Osama Al-Tibi broadcast on official PA TV in which he stated that “these malignant [Jewish] genes and cursed characteristics continue in them. They transfer them from generation to generation. They inherit it from father to son… Humanity will never be able to live together with them… [Allah] count them and kill them one by one, and do not leave even one”
According to an ADL Global 100 poll a few years ago, the Palestinians are the most anti-Semitic people in the entire world and anti-Semitism is endemic among Palestinians. A staggering 93% of Palestinians believed that at least 6 of the 11 negative stereotypes tested were “probably true,” higher than Iraq at 92% and Yemen at 88%.
For example, 91% of Palestinians believe “Jews have too much power in the business world,” 72% believe “Jews think they are better than other people,” and 88% of Palestinians say “Jews have too much control over global affairs.”
PA head Mahmoud Abbas in April 2018 explained to Palestinians why Europeans committed massacres of Jews “every 10 to 15 years” for centuries and eventually the Holocaust: “Why did this happen?… The hatred of the Jews is not due to their religion, but rather due to their social role… due to their social role that was connected to usury, and banks and so forth.”
Abbas confirmed the anti-Semites’ deception that Jews brought anti-Semitism upon themselves, PMW explained.
Palestinian children are taught the same hate ideology. Children recite poems on official PA TV stating that “Our enemy, Zion, is Satan with a tail,” and that Jews were “condemned to humiliation and hardship” and are “the most evil among creations, barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs.”
“The PA’s promoting Anti-Semitism for years, has turned Palestinians into the most anti-Semitic people in the world,” said PMW director Itamar Marcus.
“It is the international community’s decision to ignore the PA’s anti-Semitism that has enabled the PA to poison the minds of Palestinians,” he charged.
Referring to the Fifth World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem last week that was attended by 45 global leaders and monarchs, Marcus called on the international community to “translate their kind words” at the Forum into “concrete action by including on the world’s agenda the fight against PA anti-Semitism.”
“World leaders must show a willingness to use all their political and financial weight to eradicate Palestinian anti-Semitism, otherwise they will be condemning another generation of Israelis and Palestinians to hate and terror stemming from the debilitating Anti-Semitism,” he warned.
International inaction will render last week’s impressive international gathering “a dismal failure, a mere ceremony giving homage to the past while ignoring the present, and therefore having no positive impact on the future,” he stated.
