The promotion of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel hatred continued to be a significant theme of Palestinian television programming during month of Ramadan. During a televised sermon, Jews were referred to as “cursed ... the brothers of monkeys and pigs, with a stream of curses that will continue until the Resurrection...” Moreover, attacking and afflicting Jews was presented as part of the destiny Muslims and Arabs have to fulfill, as a religious obligation from Allah: "Allah loves those who fight on his behalf… Allah said against the Jews ... ‘your Lord has declared that He will surely send against them [the Jews] until Resurrection, those who will afflict them with terrible torment…" Traditional Islam has interpreted this to mean that Muslims are the ones who will torment the Jews until Resurrection [Tabari].

The following are selections from this sermon:

“Praise be to Allah, who has cursed [the Jews], the brothers of monkeys and pigs, with a stream of curses that will continue until the Resurrection of the dead. He has warned us against their evil and their arrogance, and has said: ‘You will find that the most brazen among mankind, with hatred towards the believers, are the Jews and the Idolaters.’ [Koran, 81,5] It is not foreign to them to shed our blood. They murder and slaughter us, demolish our homes, and destroy everything that is important to us… The Jews are Jews, and we are forbidden to forget their character traits even for a moment, even for a blink of an eye. O [Muslims] Servants of Allah! The Jews are those who tried to murder your Prophet in order to expunge the call [to Islam]. It is no wonder that it has been legitimized [for them] to kill and slaughter us … Our enemies are waging a war against us, against Islam and the Muslims in particular, against those who demand their rights, and against any Muslim who seeks to hold his head up. They are trying to subdue us with hard oppression. Such are the Jews, who are fighting against us during Ramadan and our peaceful festival, and also during the holy months, because they are Idolaters, heretics, whose faith is false. While we are the believers in the truth and in the true faith… Allah loves those who fight on his behalf… Allah said against the Jews and the Idolaters ‘your Lord has declared that he will surely send against them [Jews] until Resurrection, those [Arabs and Muslims] who will afflict them with terrible torment…’ Prayer and blessing to the Imam of the Jihad fighters, [Prophet] Mohammed, who waged a Jihad against the Jews, and a significant Jihad. He warned us, in strongest terms, against them. He said, after he expelled them from Arabia, “two religions will not be here together.” … It is not unusual for the Jews, nor uncharacteristic of their traits, or their ancestry, or their wild behavior, what they are doing … slaughter after slaughter, invasion after invasion this has been the custom of the Jews throughout the generations and the ages. This is especially so when the Muslims are united and seek their full rights, since they [Muslims] are the ones with the Truth and the Jews have Falsehood.” [Palestinian Television Dr. Mustafa Najem Dec. 6, 2002] (PMW.ORG.IL 12/11/02)
