PA Libel: Bible Teaches That Only Jews Are Human, Didn’t Learn From Hitler

Palestinian Authority (PA) antisemitism is both vicious and fundamental to PA ideology. The PA’s demonization of Jews, Israel, and Jewish sources and traditions, has a very sinister purpose: It is the basis for Palestinian hatred and justifies murder.
Put simply, once the PA leadership convinces Palestinians that Jewish/Israeli evil is innate to Jewish nature — and endangers Palestinians and all humanity — Palestinians feel justified and even righteous about hating and killing Jews.
Official Palestinian TV recently broadcast one of the PA’s hate libels about Jews and Judaism, spewed forth by the father of terrorist.
After complaining about his terrorist son’s home being destroyed, he explained that “love of revenge is innate for them [Jews]. They learned it in the Talmud and the Bible.” He then repeated additional libels that echo PA/Fatah antisemitism about the evil beliefs of Jews, falsely claiming it is part of the Hebrew Bible:
Their biblical belief is that God created non-human beings in the form of humans. Only they are human, only Jews are human; the rest of humanity is not human. This is how they [Jews] think and this is how they behave. [emphasis added]
[Official PA TV, Jan. 24, 2024]
In reality, the Bible teaches that all people are created with the/in the/ “Image of God.”
Fatah taught that same libel about Jewish belief in its documentary about the evil nature of Jews:
In Europe, the [Jewish] tribe established camps and residential areas, crowded ghettos in order to separate from other people out of arrogance and disgust for non-Jews … who according to their [Jews’] worldview are snakes …
[The Jews] were hated because of their racism and their filthy behavior … They swear :… “Only we are people, and all the others are our animals.” [emphasis added]
[Official Fatah Facebook page, July 15, 2019]
The PA Fatah libel that was echoed by the father of the terrorist has practical implications: Since Jewish evil behavior is innate to Jewish belief, then the only solution is destruction.
Accordingly, the terrorist’s father then prayed that Allah should bring another Holocaust on the Jews, bringing up people like Hitler, Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, and Pharaoh.
With this prayer, he was again echoing PA religious teachings, that the Jews deserve their punishment from Allah, because they are “planning and systematically working to incite wars and strife in the entire world.” Because of this, he said, Allah sent the Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the First Temple, then he sent the Roman Titus to destroy the Second Temple, and then Hitler and the kings of Europe, and still the Jews did not learn their lesson.
The father of the terrorist, prayed for Allah to bring a new Hitler to torture the Jews:
We ask Allah to send someone who will torture them like Hitler did, and before him Nebuchadnezzar [Babylonian king who destroyed the Temple] and before him Pharaoh [who enslaved them]. [emphasis added]
PA TV taught that Hitler and Nebuchadnezzar were Allah’s punishment of the Jews:
The occupation [i.e., Israeli] government hasn’t learned from history, from [Allah’s punishments for] the corruption of the Children of Israel the first and second time. It hasn’t learned. They [The Jews] didn’t learn from what Nebuchadnezzar did to them [destroyed the First Temple]. They didn’t learn from what Titus the great Roman leader, did to them [destroyed the Second Temple]. They didn’t learn from what Hitler did to them, and the kings of Europe, and Spain — they didn’t learn.”

Palestinian Media Watch has been warning for years that the PA’s teachings and antisemitism must be expunged from PA teachings and national ideology before any peace process can be undertaken. See Itamar Marcus’ recent presentation to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, showing the connection between PA antisemitism and the October 7 Palestinian atrocities.

After False Dawns, Gazans Hope Trump Will Force End to Two-Year-Old War

Exhausted Palestinians in Gaza clung to hopes on Saturday that US President Donald Trump would keep up pressure on Israel to end a two-year-old war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced the entire population of more than two million.
Hamas’ declaration that it was ready to hand over hostages and accept some terms of Trump’s plan to end the conflict while calling for more talks on several key issues was greeted with relief in the enclave, where most homes are now in ruins.
“It’s happy news, it saves those who are still alive,” said 32-year-old Saoud Qarneyta, reacting to Hamas’ response and Trump’s intervention. “This is enough. Houses have been damaged, everything has been damaged, what is left? Nothing.”
GAZAN RESIDENT HOPES ‘WE WILL BE DONE WITH WARS’
Ismail Zayda, 40, a father of three, displaced from a suburb in northern Gaza City where Israel launched a full-scale ground operation last month, said: “We want President Trump to keep pushing for an end to the war, if this chance is lost, it means that Gaza City will be destroyed by Israel and we might not survive.
“Enough, two years of bombardment, death and starvation. Enough,” he told Reuters on a social media chat.
“God willing this will be the last war. We will hopefully be done with the wars,” said 59-year-old Ali Ahmad, speaking in one of the tented camps where most Palestinians now live.
“We urge all sides not to backtrack. Every day of delay costs lives in Gaza, it is not just time wasted, lives get wasted too,” said Tamer Al-Burai, a Gaza City businessman displaced with members of his family in central Gaza Strip.
After two previous ceasefires — one near the start of the war and another earlier this year — lasted only a few weeks, he said; “I am very optimistic this time, maybe Trump’s seeking to be remembered as a man of peace, will bring us real peace this time.”
RESIDENT WORRIES THAT NETANYAHU WILL ‘SABOTAGE’ DEAL
Some voiced hopes of returning to their homes, but the Israeli military issued a fresh warning to Gazans on Saturday to stay out of Gaza City, describing it as a “dangerous combat zone.”
Gazans have faced previous false dawns during the past two years, when Trump and others declared at several points during on-off negotiations between Hamas, Israel and Arab and US mediators that a deal was close, only for war to rage on.
“Will it happen? Can we trust Trump? Maybe we trust Trump, but will Netanyahu abide this time? He has always sabotaged everything and continued the war. I hope he ends it now,” said Aya, 31, who was displaced with her family to Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
She added: “Maybe there is a chance the war ends at October 7, two years after it began.”

Mass Rally in Rome on Fourth Day of Italy’s Pro-Palestinian Protests

Large crowds assembled in central Rome on Saturday for the fourth straight day of protests in Italy since Israel intercepted an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza, and detained its activists.
People holding banners and Palestinian flags, chanting “Free Palestine” and other slogans, filed past the Colosseum, taking part in a march that organizers hoped would attract at least 1 million people.
“I’m here with a lot of other friends because I think it is important for us all to mobilize individually,” Francesco Galtieri, a 65-year-old musician from Rome, said. “If we don’t all mobilize, then nothing will change.”
Since Israel started blocking the flotilla late on Wednesday, protests have sprung up across Europe and in other parts of the world, but in Italy they have been a daily occurrence, in multiple cities.
On Friday, unions called a general strike in support of the flotilla, with demonstrations across the country that attracted more than 2 million, according to organizers. The interior ministry estimated attendance at around 400,000.
Italy’s right-wing government has been critical of the protests, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suggesting that people would skip work for Gaza just as an excuse for a longer weekend break.
On Saturday, Meloni blamed protesters for insulting graffiti that appeared on a statue of the late Pope John Paul II outside Rome’s main train station, where Pro-Palestinian groups have been holding a protest picket.
“They say they are taking to the streets for peace, but then they insult the memory of a man who was a true defender and builder of peace. A shameful act committed by people blinded by ideology,” she said in a statement.
Israel launched its Gaza offensive after Hamas terrorists staged a cross border attack on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 people hostage.
