The Newsworthy Passover Theme

“In every generation enemies rise up against us to destroy us” remains a theme of Passover chanted by Jews around the world on the Passover holiday.

There is always someone out there to explain how Jews are drinking the blood of gentiles before Passover. And if we thought this was something of the past – then we were wrong.

Palestinian Media Watch, whose TV lab follows Palestinian Television, provided a clip from the Hamas TV network on the eve of Passover that featured a Jew exclaiming that he does “not dip his hands in water but rather in the blood of young Muslims.” On Hamas TV, a Jewish father explains to his son that he must “drink the blood of Muslims.”

The film was broadcast before a live studio audience of the Islamic University.

This is the same university that receives solidarity delegations from universities across the globe. The new spirit of the new war on the Jews does not stop with Hamas.

Zahi Hawass, a professor of archaeology who acts as the head of the official Egyptian antiquities authority, wrote an article last week, published in a key newspaper – Asharq al-Awsat, which is published in London and circulated across the Arab world – that stated the concept of murdering women, children and elderly flows in the blood of the Jews of Palestine. He wrote that it was “they who created a religion aimed against humanity in its entirety”.

This same Egyptian official also explained in an interview with official Egyptian TV that “the Jews control the world.”

In Norway last week, Mohammed Ali Chisti, a young Muslim Norwegian, addressed a public seminar in which both the foreign minister and the crown prince of Norway attended. The title of his talk was “Why I hate Jews and homosexuals.” In his talk, he stated that “Jews are behind all international conflicts. The Jews created the United States so that the latter could form Zionist Israel.”

Hebrew University professor Shlomo Avinerim, a longtime advocate of negotiations with the Islamic world, last week wrote a guest editorial in the daily Ha’Aretz newspaper in which he called on the West to realize that the Hamas war is not against Israel per se – it is a war to exterminate Judasim and the Jewish people.

For those who would compare Hamas to the Nazis, Dr. Rafi Kishon, of Tel Aviv, rejects the analogy.

Dr. Kishon, son of the late, renowned Israeli pundit Efraim Kishon, notes Nazis did everything in their power to hide their crimes, while this generation of Islamic killers never hides what they do.

In the words of Dr. Kishon, “The Nazis would always deny murdering Jews, while these Islamic groups compete to take credit when they conduct a heinous murder of a Jew.”
