The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has condemned the Nazi-like
statements calling for the murder of Jews and the destruction of
Israel reported in recent weeks by Iranian, Palestinian Authority,
Hamas and other Muslim leaders and has called upon Jewish
organizations to condemn these horrors.
ZOA National President Morton A. Klein
said, “We heard such blatantly murderous statements in the 1930s
and no-one heeded them. We dare not repeat this tragic error. We urge
the Obama Administration, Congress and Jewish and American Muslim
leaders to condemn these statements which, as the list we provide
below demonstrates, are not exceptional but, on the contrary,
represent the long-expressed, frequently repeated intentions of
several Muslim regimes, terrorist organizations and leaders. We also
call upon Muslim leaders to condemn these vile statements. These
statements have been made, over and over, for decades. Why
aren’t Muslims leaders speaking out?”
Calling Israel a danger to Islam, the
conservative website
Alef, with ties to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah
Ali Khamenei, said the opportunity must not be lost to remove
“this corrupting material. It is a ‘jurisprudential
justification’ to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel, and
in that, the Islamic government of Iran must take the
helm.”
“47 years ago the [Fatah]
revolution started. Which revolution? The modern revolution of the
Palestinian people’s history. In fact, Palestine in its entirety
is a revolution, since [Caliph] Umar came [to conquer Jerusalem in
637 CE], and continuing today, and until the End of
Days.
The reliable Hadith (tradition
attributed to Muhammad), [found] in the two reliable collections,
Bukhari and Muslim, says:
The Hour [of Resurrection] will not
come until you fight the Jews.
The Jew will hide behind stones or
trees.
Then the stones or trees will call:
“Oh Muslim,
servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill
him.´
Except the Gharqad tree [which will keep
silent].”
“My dear ones, you are victorious
and your enemies are defeated. You will stay and your enemies, who
are the enemies of humanity, are on the slippery slope to
destruction. You are honorable and respected and your Zionist enemies
are shamed, wretched and pitiful.”
“If we are subjected to any
attack by Israel I do not think we will need more than 11 days to
wipe Israel out of existence.”
“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
that 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 disbelievers
[sic] 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 you’re 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 we 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 stones and trees, and the stones
and tree will call: Oh 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.” I have heard that they are
planting many of these trees now.
[...]
As for you Jews – the curse of
Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you, whose ancestors were
apes and pigs. You Jews have sown hatred in our hearts, and we have
bequeathed it to our children and grandchildren. You will not survive
as long as a single one of us remains.
[...]
Oh Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon
you. Oh Jews... Oh Allah, bring Your wrath, punishment, and torment
down upon them. Allah, we pray that you transform them again, and
make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them as apes and pigs. You
pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the Muslims with
that cold pig [blood] of yours.”
“(Israel) has reached the end of
its function and will soon disappear off the geographical
domain.”
“Those who think they can revive
the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by
throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken... Today the reason
for the Zionist regime´s existence is questioned and this regime is
on its way to annihilation...has reached the end like a dead rat
after being slapped by the Lebanese.”
“The time has come to see the
weakness and collapse of the Zionist regime and its supporters. They
are doing everything in order to save it, but they will not
succeed.”
March, 2008: “Gaza is the
beginning, the real issue is elsewhere. They should know that both in
the prelude and in the real thing they face a defeat and this time
they will be uprooted.”
“Now we are left with one
question: Will Israel cease to exist one day? ... Yes ... Israel will
cease to exist.”
“World powers have created a black
and dirty microbe named the Zionist regime and have unleashed it like
a savage animal on the nations of the
region.”

January
2008 - Ahmadinejad:
“I advise you to abandon the
filthy Zionist entity which has reached the end of the line... It has
lost its reason to be and will sooner or later fall. The ones who
still support the criminal Zionists should know that the occupiers´
days are numbered.”
“It is impossible that the Zionist
regime will survive. Collapse is in the nature of this regime because
it has been created on aggression, lying, oppression and
crime...”
“Our support (for the Palestinian
people) is unconditional. As for the Israelis, let them go find
somewhere else.”
“The Zionist regime is the
standard bearer of invasion, occupation and Satan ...When the
philosophy behind the establishment of a regime is in question, it is
not unlikely that it will find itself on a course of decline and
dissolution.”
´´In Lebanon, the corrupt, arrogant
powers and the Zionist regime did all they could in an unfair 33-day
war. But after 60 years [Israel´s] greatness fell apart ... The
countdown to this regime’s destruction started through the hands
of Hezbollah’s children ...We will witness the destruction of
this regime in the near future thanks to the endeavours of all
Palestinian and Lebanese fighters.´´
“God willing, in the near future
we will witness the destruction of the corrupt occupier
regime...”
“I want to tell [Western counties]
that just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and does not exist
anymore, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out and humanity
will be free.”
“The Zionist regime is on the
slope of disappearance and the freedom movement and the struggles of
the Palestinian people have more success every day...It is the
religious duty of all Muslims to stand by the Palestines [sic] ...The
continued crimes of the Zionist regime will only accelerate the
downfall of this fake regime.”
“The great powers created the
Zionist regime to extend their domination in the region. Every day
this regime is massacring Palestinians...As this regime goes against
the path of life, we will soon see its disappearance and its
destruction.”
“This regime (Israel) will be
gone, definitely...”You (the Western powers) should know that
any government that stands by the Zionist regime from now on will not
see any result but the hatred of the people...The wrath of the
region´s people is boiling... You should not complain that we did not
give a warning. We are saying this explicitly
now...”
“Nations in the region will be
more furious every day. It won´t take long before the wrath of the
people turns into a terrible explosion that will wipe the Zionist
entity off the map...The basic problem in the Islamic world is the
existence of the Zionist regime, and the Islamic world and the region
must mobilize to remove this problem. It is a usurper that our
enemies made and imposed on the Muslim world, a regime that prevented
the progress of the region´s nations, a regime that all Muslims must
join hands in isolating worldwide.”

February 2006 - Khaled Mashaal, Hamas Political Bureau
Chairman:
“Before Israel dies, it must be
humiliated and degraded. Allah willing, before they die, they will
experience humiliation and degradation every day... Allah willing, we
will make them lose their eyesight, we will make them lose their
brains.”

August
2006 - Ahmadinejad:
“At a “special session”
of the OIC in August of the same year, Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad called for
“the elimination of the Zionist regime,” a statement that
OIC failed to condemn.”
“Our position on the Middle East
is clear. We want the root of tensions to be removed. During these
sixty years what was the root of massacres, crimes and conflicts? ...
The solution is clear and nothing has
changed.”
“Nations in the region will be
more furious every day. It won´t take long before the wrath of the
people turns into a terrible explosion that will wipe the Zionist
entity off the map...The basic problem in the Islamic world is the
existence of the Zionist regime, and the Islamic world and the region
must mobilize to remove this problem. It is a usurper that our
enemies made and imposed on the Muslim world, a regime that prevented
the progress of the region´s nations, a regime that all Muslims must
join hands in isolating worldwide.”

December 2005 - Then-Muslim Brotherhood leader Muhammad
Mehdi Akef:
“I declared that we will not
recognize Israel which is an alien entity in the region. And we
expect the demise of this cancer soon.”
“With the establishment of the
state of Israel, the entire Islamic nation was lost, because Israel
is a cancer spreading through the body of the Islamic nation, and
because the Jews are a virus resembling AIDS, from which the entire
world suffers ... The day will come when everything will be relieved
of the Jews ... We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day
will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come
when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule
Britain and the entire world – except for the Jews. The Jews
will not enjoy a life of tranquility under our rule, because they are
treacherous by nature, as they have been throughout history. The day
will come when everything will be relieved of the Jews - even the
stones and trees which were harmed by them. Listen to the Prophet
Muhammad, who tells you about the evil end that awaits Jews. The
stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every
Jew.”
“Our dear Imam said that the
occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise
statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine... I have
no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we
witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful
stain from the Islamic world. But we must be aware of
tricks.”

October 2002 -
Nasrallah:
“If they [Jews] all gather in
Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them
worldwide.”
“If a day comes when the world of
Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession ... the
strategy of colonialism would face a stalemate because application of
an atomic bomb would not leave anything in
Israel.”

1998 - Hafiz
Saeed, leader of Laisha e-Toiba in
Pakistan:
“At this time our contest is
Kashmir. Let’s see when the time comes. Our struggle with the
Jews is always there.”

September 1993: PLO Chairman Yasser
Arafat:
“Since we cannot defeat Israel in
war we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can
of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there and we use it as a
springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab
nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.” [same day
of Oslo signing ceremony]

March 1992 - Hizballah
Statement:
“It is an open war until the
elimination of Israel and until the death of the last Jew on
earth.”
·
1988 - Hamas Charter, Article
7:
“The Islamic Resistance Movement
is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist
invaders ... the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the
realisation of Allah´s promise, no matter how long that should take.
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:
‘The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight
the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and
trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a
Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, would not do
that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.’ (related by al-
Bukhari and Muslim).”

February 1980 - PLO Chairman Yasser
Arafat:
“Peace for us means the
destruction of Israel . We are preparing for an all-out war, a war
which will last for generations. (© 2012 Zionist Organization of
