Jews "dance and live on the body parts of others" and are behind "global corruption," says PA Islamic Judge on PA TV
- The Jews are "the people of falsehood"
- "Among the Jews we find nothing but corruption and depravity"
Muhannad Abu Rumi: "[Khan Al-Ahmar is] holy land. We know its value, and not them [Jews], the foreigners, the fabricators of history, who dance and live on the body parts of others, and on the blood of others. Read their history: There is no global corruption that they are not behind. There is no global corruption that their rabbis did not allow..."

Muhannad Abu Rumi: "The war is not only over this strip of land, as you all know the Jews want everything and not just a part [of it]... There have always been two camps in history: the camp of truth and the camp of falsehood. The people of falsehood see themselves as those who rule over everything... Among the Jews we find nothing but corruption and depravity."
Both Al-Habbash and Abu Rumi serve as Shari'ah judges in the PA's Islamic court system. Al-Habbash is Supreme Shari'ah Judge and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Shari'ah Justice. It is noteworthy - and alarming - that both these two religious PA officials include antisemitic messages in their teachings to the Palestinian public - 97% of whom answer in polls that for them religion is "very important."
As can be seen from the opinions and teachings of these three PA religious officials, two of whom received their appointments directly from Mahmoud Abbas, vicious Antisemitism is a fundamental part of the Palestinian Authority worldview. PMW documented that Abbas' advisor on Islam, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, one of the three people cited above, preached that the current battle with Israel over Jerusalem is the beginning of the battle for the destruction of Israel and the Jews. As long as the PA teaches its very religious population that the battle with Israel is not merely over territory, but that Palestinians and all Muslims have an Islamic obligation to fight and destroy Jews - because they are responsible for all evil in the world - a peace process can never succeed, in fact, it can't even begin.
