PA to Islamic nation: “Jihad is necessary”

PA TV narrator:

"A call from the Palestinian people to the Arab and Islamic nation...
The Palestinian cause – is in danger and Palestine is the heart of the nation...
We are calling on you to end your silence and waiting, and act!  Explicitly declare your rejection of the annexation plan... The Palestinian people, which is standing firm and rising up, is calling to you... There is not much time to waste. Act before it’s too late..."

Song used by the PA in 2000 to call for terror:
"Brother, the oppressors have gone too far
Therefore Jihad is necessary
and self-sacrifice is necessary
How can we let them steal the Arabness –
the glory of the forefathers and the rule?"

During the first days of the PA terror campaign (the second Intifada, 2000-2005), PA TV repeatedly broadcast the song used in this filler, calling for terror. On Dec. 17, 2017, PA TV started rebroadcasting the same song, adding an intentionally blurred and indistinct version of US President Trump's speech recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The song has aired multiple times on official PA TV and official PA TV Live from December 2017 through 2019.

Only part of the song featured in this filler.
The entire lyrics are:

“Brother, the oppressors have gone too far
Therefore Jihad is necessary
and self-sacrifice is necessary...
How can we let them steal the Arabness -
the glory of the forefathers and the rule? ...
Draw your sword from its sheath, and
let it not return to the sheath afterwards...
Brother, rise to [Jerusalem],
the [first] direction of prayer
We will defend the church
and the mosque
Brother, if my blood will flow in the soil,
and my hand will lay on its stones
Then find a free soul that has refused
to let enemies step on it
Kiss a Martyr on the land, who called on
its behalf to Allah and fell as a Martyr...
Palestine, the young people
will redeem your territory
May the self-sacrificing fighter
and the redeemed [land] be exalted
Palestine, our chests will defend you - life or death.”
