The Protocols of the Elders of Zion – alive and well on Palestinian Authority TV
PA TV disseminates Jewish conspiracy libels
"Arabs, Muslims and Christians must re-examine" The Protocols of the Elders of Zion to know Israel's "traps and unannounced goals"
The Jews have always tried to rule the world: "British and French colonialism was just Zionist colonialism"
"Zionist enterprise" wants to rule the entire Muslim world
Israel aims to expand to the entire Arab world
Official Palestinian Authority TV is the mouthpiece of the PA, and the PA uses it to transmit libels and lies about Israel. One such libel claims that Israel's fight against Hamas is just a symptom of an Israeli plot to rule the entire Muslim world:
Speaker at anti-Israeli demonstration in Algiers: "The goal of the Zionist enterprise is not just to eliminate the central cause, which is the Palestinian cause. Its goal is to harm the [Arab] nation, dismantle it, and tear it apart, and to establish the [Zionist] entity state (i.e., Israel) on the land of Islam, on the land of Palestine, and on all the Muslim lands."

The PA has repeated this libel for decades as Palestinian Media Watch has exposed, claiming that Israel harbors colonialist aspirations and dreams of ruling the entire Arab world:
Political science lecturer Hareth Halalmeh: "Israel has an expansionist outlook. This expansionist outlook does not only include Palestine, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, but encompasses the entire Arab and Islamic entity… The Arabs are now convinced that we are facing an imperialistic, expanding, occupying, settler state that does not accept a Palestinian partner, nor an Arab partner, but rather only thinks in the language of violence and power. The Arabs are now fully convinced that if this danger will not be nipped in the bud, this danger will reach every Arab state."

One speaker broadcast by official PA TV claimed that "traditional colonialism" was "just Zionist colonialism":
Political science lecturer Dr. Ibrahim Al-Rifa'i: "Was traditional colonialism just French and British?"
Official PA TV host: "Or Italian?"
Ibrahim Al-Rifa'i: "It was actually Zionist colonialism... They [the Jews] think that the entire world that is outside the circle of Zionism are goyim (i.e., non-Jews) and that Zionist globalization should rule, and they have been waging a world war ever since the time before traditional colonialism. Traditional colonialism was completely Zionist. This colonialism with its various names – British, English, French – was just Zionist colonialism."

A Lebanese Shari'ah Judge who was given a platform on PA TV packaged this in the well-known antisemitic libel that "Jews seek world dominion" and recommended that "Arabs, Muslims, and even Christians" should "re-examine" The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was exposed as a Russian antisemitic forgery over a century ago, for proof that "any decision made by the Zionist enemy contains traps and unannounced goals":
Lebanese Shari'ah Judge Sheikh Khaldoun Oraymet: "We must understand, as Lebanese, Arabs, Muslims, and even Christians, that any decision made by the Zionist enemy (i.e., Israel) certainly contains traps and unannounced goals, which are necessarily not for the benefit of Lebanon [or] the Palestinian cause or the Arabs. For us to know for certain that this is their position, one must re-examine The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (i.e., antisemitic forgery), and examine - I'm not saying the Bible, but the Talmud that was written by the Jews' rabbis."

PA Chairman Abbas' advisor Al-Habbash has presented a different version of this libel, claiming that it is the US that seeks dominion over the Arab world, using Israel as "a pawn state" to reach its "colonialist goals":
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "There is no strategic alliance in the true political sense between the US and Israel. What actually exists is American employment of Israel. Israel is nothing more than an American interest. It is nothing more than a pawn state or pawn entity whose goal is to serve the American and colonialist goals. The US is making sure to keep this entity and state so that it will serve its goals to keep the Arab region divided, backward, and conflict-ridden… The US is interested in continuing the situation (i.e., Israeli counter-terror operation against Hamas). It wants to pressure the Palestinian people, and to break the willpower of the Palestinian people and the Arab nation that is behind it."

Official PA TV has repeatedly served as a means for spreading the libel that Israel's goal is to expand beyond "Palestine." A Syrian commentator warned that Israel poses "a danger that will wash over the Arab and Islamic world":
Syrian commentator Husam Taleb: "Israel wants to expel [the residents from] the entire West Bank, so that not a single Palestinian will remain. Afterwards they will move on to the 1948 Arabs (i.e., Israeli Arabs)... Then the Golan Heights, they want to expel the [Druze] people of the Golan... This plan is being put on the table by the Israelis."

Syrian political commentator Husam Taleb: "The [Arab states'] abandonment of Palestine, the abandonment of the West Bank and Gaza Strip is like one who wraps the noose around his [own] neck… Today this Israeli barbarity, and the American support for this will not stop with occupied Palestine, and will not stop with the West Bank... the issue is that it will reach you – the Israeli crime and the Israeli plots… This is a danger that will wash over the Arab and Islamic world."
