Fatah spokesman: Jews are "sons of apes and pigs"

Official Fatah Spokesman in Jerusalem Raafat Alayan: ‎ "The heroic Palestinian ‎people, including its children, women, and elderly, who have made intifada against the occupation and foiled [its plans]... I confirm that in this uprising, we in Jerusalem ‎have succeeded in preventing 80% of the settlers, the sons of apes and pigs, from ‎walking around the Old City and the stairs of the Damascus Gate.” ‎

In three instances (Suras 2:65, 5:60, and 7:166), the Quran tells of Allah turning ‎Jews into apes and/or pigs. Sura 2:65 “And you had already known about those who ‎transgressed among you concerning the sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be apes, ‎despised.’” Sura 7:166 “So when they were insolent about that which they had been ‎forbidden, We said to them, ‘Be apes, despised.’" Sura 5:60 “Say, ‘Shall I inform you of ‎‎[what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah? [It is that of] those (i.e., the Jews) whom ‎Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs ‎and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound ‎way.’"‎
