Syrian minister’s antisemitic libel: Massacres are part of “Jewish thinking”
Syrian State Minister for National Reconciliation Affairs Ali Haidar: “Everything that is happening in Palestine is a battle between those with a right and thieves of this right. This battle continues and is constant… We are in one of the rounds of the war that has continued and lasted for 75 years… It will end with a lull to prepare for additional rounds until all the Palestinian lands that were stolen by this enemy (i.e., Israel) are liberated… The nature of [the Israeli’s] thinking, the nature of his education, and the nature of his faith is that he needs to annihilate every living soul in every land that an Israeli soldier sets foot on. This is the Torah... Let us read this book that forbids the Jew from making peace, forbids the Jew from living in coexistence with people who are different from him, forbids the Jew from entering a city even peacefully… [The claim that] the Jew is committing massacres because he is just defending himself or to protect his dignity – He is committing these acts because they are part of his structure and his thinking. This is the Jewish thinking… In Palestine there is no peace-loving Jewish citizen, in Palestine they are all occupiers and thieves.”
