Palestinian Authority Antisemitism Since the Hebron Accord
COMPARISONS OF ISRAEL WITH NAZIS AND FASCISTS
"Jerusalemites and any other Muslim who is able to reach the gates of the Al-Aqsa mosque for Friday prayers must report to the Israeli police at the gates to hand in his ID to be checked and on many occasions is prevented from entry or even arrested. This of course should remind the Europeans of Nazi occupation by Nazi soldiers surrounding churches and places of worship during the Second World War. Israeli practices in many aspects are equal with, if not more brutal than, those practiced by occupying Nazi soldiers dealing with French-Dutch citizens during the Second World War."
--- PA Information Ministry press release, December 10, 1997
"We must not lay aside the blade of the Palestinian struggle which we grasp with Arab and international support, a blade with which we must struggle to shatter the two elements in the Likud’s ideology: the racist-Torah part and the nationalist-fascist part. This is our fate."
--- PA Minister for Refugee Affairs Assad Abdel Rahman in an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 6, 1997
"The occupation forces have imposed a siege on the camp of Al-Aroub… whose children set new records in their opposition to the acts of the occupation with the little stones they throw from behind the wire fences dozens of meters in height which… show the world the Nazism of the occupation at the end of the 20th century, in an era known as ‘the era of peace’… Al-Aroub residents tell the story of one of the crimes of ‘Nazism in a period of peace’…."

"…the Arab sees with his own eyes an Israeli occupation in Palestine, the Golan and Lebanon, which can not be compared to any occupation in this century except the Nazi occupation..."

"We must act on the international level in the framework of a detailed information plan which will expose the Zionist-Colonialist plot and its goals, which destroy not only our people but the entire world."
--- PA Agriculture Minister Abdel Jawad Saleh in an interview with the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, November 6, 1997
"Just as Hitler’s Mein Kampf was a warning sign for his future political path which brought disaster on Germany and the world, so Netanyahu’s A Place Among the Nations explains all of the author’s initiatives since he took power in Israel… The racist curses against the enemy and the legendary praises of himself make a noticeable point of similarity between Hitler’s and Netanyahu’s books… Netanyahu tries to calm Jewish fears about the demographic superiority and the natural Arab birth rates in Palestine… He does not refer to the means he will employ to achieve the goal of a reduction of the Arab birth rate… In this point we are reminded of Hitler’s statements about the sterilization of undesired segments of the population."

"This reminds me of Goebbels (Hitler’s propaganda minister) who said ‘tell lies and lies, and in the end they will believe you.’ The same is true of the Jews. It is a disgrace that they are issuing an arrest warrant against me. Apparently they have learned Goebbels’ methods."
--- PA Police Chief Ghazi Jabali, in reaction to the arrest warrant issued against him by Israel for his involvement in terrorist attacks (Maariv, September 12, 1997)
"The appearance of the Zionist movement prompted the emergence of terrorist, racist ideologies, such as, the Nazi ideology. There is great similarity between the two ideologies: the Zionists believe that they are "God’s Chosen People," and that other nations were created to be used and ridiculed... the Zionist Jews claim that they hate the nations since they persecute them out of jealousy of their wisdom, their success and their being God’s chosen. Similarly, the Nazis claim that the Aryans are the chosen and the pure and that anti-Semitism is the punishment of the Jewish Germans who betrayed their country... Of course the similarity between the two racist ideologies - the Zionist and the Nazi - is obvious and the despicable racial content of each of them is clear. The Zionist movement, as well as Nazism, believes that it represents the absolute truth that must be maintained, otherwise it will lose its value. .. The Nazi ideology pushed the world into the hell of the Second World War...and during the war applied all forms of terrorism, exactly as the Zionists are doing now. After the passing of one hundred years since the establishment of Zionism, here comes Benyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist enemy, and presents a Nazi formula when he says that "peace between Israel and the Arabs must be based on the principle of Israeli strength." Since its establishment, the racist Zionist entity has been implementing various forms of terrorism on a daily basis which are a repetition of the Nazi terror. This proves the shared roots of Nazi and Zionist thought. This also explains the cooperation between the Jews and the Nazis during World War II, through which were revealed the forged claims of the Zionists regarding alleged acts of slaughter perpetrated against the Jews during the same period… There is no difference between Hitler and Ben-Gurion, and if there was a difference at all, it was one of quantity and not one of substance. Anyone who investigates the crimes of the Zionists… discovers explicitly the complementary traits between Zionism, which is a racist terrorist movement, and the Nazi movement."

"Netanyahu was blinded by the tyranny of power and is interested in total Palestinian and Arab surrender to his unlimited desires... perhaps in the European style of the German armies so that he will be able to impose greater Israel and establish the superiority of the Hebrew race..."
--- from an article in the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeedah, August 17, 1997
"While the Israeli government is speaking about the atrocities committed against the Jews at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Dachau concentration camps... it is directly involved these days in weaving plots and causing two major catastrophes to their neighbors... Our homeland was transformed into a big concentration camp..."
