As Israel commemorates Yom HaShoah — Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day — Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) is sending out a six-point outline of its recent warning that the Palestinian Authority (PA) has adopted basic components of Hitler’s Nazi ideology.

The PA describes the Jews as a subhuman, dangerous threat to humanity that must be exterminated.

PMW first published this warning in an op-ed, and here are the key components of the Palestinian Authority’s ideology:

1. Jews endanger humanity — they ruin every society in which they live:

• Official PA daily: “From all corners of the globe, I see and understand the harm they [Jews] have caused … They want to subjugate the entire world.”

2. Judaism itself endangers humanity

• Israeli affairs expert on PA TV: “The Israeli culture of murder and destruction … is based on the Torah.”

3. Jews are subhuman:

• Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “[Jews are] grazing herds of humanoids — people or creatures that Allah created in the form of humans … apes and pigs.”

4. Accordingly, Jews are hated and deserve to be hated:

• Mahmoud Abbas: “Europe hates the Jews … because of their social role… . Hitler … fought the Jews because they worked based on usury and money. In other words, they caused ruin.”

• PA TV: “Their [Jewish] thinking is based on racism that caused them to be hated everywhere.”

5. Finally, the colonial states created Zionism/Israel to get rid of their Jews:

• Official PA TV: “The Europeans hated them and wanted to get rid of them, so the European countries … had the idea of establishing a Jewish state'”
• Official PA TV: “They — Europe and America — succeeded in getting rid of the Jews, whom they view as human waste, and they threw them out into Palestine.”

6. Humanity will be saved through the extermination of the Jews

• Repeatedly on official PA TV: “Allah, strike the thieving Jews … count them and kill them one by one, do not leave even one.”

The world cannot make the same mistake of ignoring genocidal hate that it made in 1939, or that Israel made in October 2023, for that matter. When people say they want to kill you and back it up as God’s directive, they must be taken seriously.

This article must be read as a warning, and you can read the text of PMW’s full article.
