PA: Jews “sucked the blood of the nations” – that’s why Israel exists

Director of the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs' Department of Preaching and Guidance Sheikh Ahmed Al-Rifa'i: "I emphasize: Do not emigrate from our homeland and leave it to our enemies (i.e., the Jews)… It is better and more appropriate for those [Jews] who came as strangers to [leave] this land… They are the ones who should emigrate, and the entire Western world can accommodate them. When they were expelled from 112 countries (sic., 12-15 expulsions) the West could not tolerate them because they were engaged in corruption, financial crimes, and usury. They sucked the blood of the nations there. They could not tolerate them and expelled them from their lands, and we are suffering from them."
