Palestinian Girl on Children’s TV Program Recites Poem Calling Jews ‘Barbaric Monkeys’ (VIDEO)
by Shiryn Ghermezian
The latest broadcast of a children’s program on official Palestinian Authority television featured a young girl reciting a hate poem filled with degrading insults against Jews, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported on Monday.
On the show The Best Home, the girl invoked Koranic language, calling Jews “barbaric monkeys,” “the most evil among creations,” and those “who murdered Allah’s pious prophets.” She also described Jews as “throngs… brought up on spilling blood… impure… [and] filth.” The girl proclaimed that she is not afraid of the Jews’ “barbarity” because Jerusalem will “vomit out” the Jews. The poem continues, “My heart is my city and my Koran.”
The girl concluded the poem saying, “As long as I have my arm and my stones, as long as I am free and do not barter my cause, I will not fear your throngs, I will not fear the rifle.” A PA television host then applauded the girl before declaring that Jerusalem is “the eternal capital of Palestine.”
According to PMW, the expression “barbaric monkeys” was borrowed from a verse in the Koran that states, “…those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs.” The Koran also teaches that the Jews murdered Muslim prophets, with the verse, “Say, then why did you kill the prophets of Allah before, if you are [indeed] believers?”
PMW documented youths reciting the same hate poem on official PA television twice in the past: once last year and another time in 2013.
