Palestinian Authority libel: Bible/Talmud instructs Jews: “Kill Arabs” ; “children, women, and the elderly”
Libel: Israeli rabbis wrote the Bible, legitimizing murder of Arabs and Palestinians – Fatah spokesman
Libel: The Talmud instructs Jews to "kill children, women, and the elderly" – Syrian lawyer
Libel: Israeli MPs are "bloodthirsty murderers, who want to kill as many Arabs as possible" – Fatah spokesman
Libel: "Israel always creates wars and fuels the problems in the Middle East" – Fatah spokesman
The Palestinian Authority and Fatah demonize Israelis and Jews in order to motivate Palestinians to carry out terror. If Jews are dangerous, terror becomes "self-defense." The following are recent examples of antisemitic libels from official PA sources demonizing Judaism, its holy texts, and Israel's leaders:
Fatah Spokesman in the Gaza Strip Mundhir Al-Hayek: "There is a book called 'Al-Tanakh' (i.e., 'The Bible' in Hebrew). It is a book put together by Israeli rabbis and it is based on the Torah, and its central message is killing Arabs, killing Palestinians. A good Arab is a dead Arab."

Syrian lawyer Muhammad Na'im Akbik: "Ovadia Yosef, the [former] chief rabbi, permitted them [Jews] to kill children. They have a religious ruling. They do not follow the Bible, they follow the Talmud. The difference between the Bible and the Talmud is very big... In the Talmud, there is neither progress nor mercy. 'When you enter a city, uproot trees and kill children, kill women and the elderly.' This is in the Talmud, the Babylonian Talmud. They follow the laws of the Talmud."

Fatah's spokesman in Gaza regularly demonizes Israelis and Jews. He also claims that all Israeli MPs and leaders are "bloodthirsty murderers" who only "want to kill as many Arabs as possible, and not just Palestinians":
Fatah Spokesman in the Gaza Strip Mundhir Al-Hayek: "[Former Israeli Prime Ministers Bennett and Lapid] are all murderers. Even when [US President] Trump asked [Israeli PM] Netanyahu to stop the war in Beirut (i.e., Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah - ed.), we heard what Lapid and Bennett and all the leaders of the occupation (i.e., Israel) said, even those who consider themselves the opposition. They opposed this because they are all bloodthirsty. They want to kill as many Arabs as possible, and not just Palestinians."

Similarly, Fatah official Abu Zneit has claimed that Israel "would destroy the whole world if it could":
Fatah spokesman Iyad Abu Zneit: "If circumstances will allow it to destroy the entire region, Israel will do so. And if Israel will be able to destroy the entire world, it will do so… Israel does not say: I will be satisfied with point A. No, it can continue to point B and so on and so forth. This is how Israel behaves."

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed numerous antisemitic libels and hate speech by PA officials who want the Palestinian population to believe all Israelis and Jews are evil, constantly seeking to harm and murder Arabs.
The hate speech libels create the justification for genocide of all Jews. PA religious officials broadcast on official PA TV repeated calls for genocide and extermination of Jews:
PA Shari'ah Judge Abdallah Harb: "O Allah… grant us victory over the infidel people… Do not leave an oppressor without crushing him. O Allah, strike Your enemies and the enemies of Your religion... O Allah, count them, and kill them one by one, and do not leave even one."
