“O Allah, strike Your enemies, kill them one by one” - Palestinian Authority Shari’ah judge

When people hear violent messages over and over again, it changes how they think.

This happens clearly when a Palestinian Authority religious leader inside a mosque stands up during weekly prayers and asks Allah to "count them one by one, kill them one by one, and do not leave even one." By counting individuals, this message uses precise, mathematical language to call for total destruction. This is an explicit appeal to move from emotion to total physical action.

The message is amplified when it is also broadcast by official PA TV, like this broadcast of the Friday prayers from the Gamal Abdel Nasser Mosque in Ramallah:

PA Shari'ah Judge Abdallah Harb: "Oh Allah, strike Your enemies, the enemies of Your religion, and the enemies of our people... Oh Allah, count them one by one, kill them one by one, and do not leave even one."

This is not just a one-time speech. It is a message often repeated to Palestinians by senior PA religious officials, as Palestinian Media Watch has documented for decades. This call for genocide of Jews has been repeated in mosques and broadcast on PA TV numerous times.

The famous American motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once wrote that "repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action." While he meant this in a positive way, the same rule applies to hate. When an authority figure, like a PA Shari'ah judge, continuously repeats a violent command during a holy routine, the listeners stop questioning it. Over time, constant repetition turns an extreme idea into a normal duty.
