The Sermon on Palestinian Authority Television
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_05_29-2005_06_04.shtml#1117583952
in which Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris [1]says the following is now
[2]available in video and audio, with English subtitles; readers who
speak Arabic can then check the translation for themselves:
"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.
"You will find that the Jews were behind all the civil strife in
this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations. . . .
"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 relived 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."
From what I understand, this is not some open forum in which any
speaker can speak; the Authority gave the speaker, and others like
him, privileged access to Palestinian television.
