Yunis al Astal, a member of the Palestinian Authority parliament, spelled out his organization's vision for the genocidal annihilation of the Jewish people in a television interview last week. The interview was broadcast on Hamas Al Aqsa TVand monitored by incitement watchdog group MEMRI.
Al Astal described the ingathering of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel in terms of a divine plan that would give the Arabs "the honor" of annihilating "the evil of this gang."
In a few years' time, he predicted, the Zionists will understand that they were brought here for the purpose of being slaughtered in "a great massacre."
Using Hitleresque language, he said that the Jews are more dangerous than all of the world's lethal birds of prey, dangerous reptiles and lethal bacteria combined.
Hamas and Fatah have signed , yet the Israeli government refuses to assign enemy status to Fatah, which controls part of Judea and Samaria. Rather, it sees it as a partner in security cooperation and possible peace talks. As part of the accord between Fatah and Hamas, Hamas's Al Aqsa TV is allowed to broadcast in Judea and Samaria.
Not long after the massacre of the Fogel family at Itamar, the government announced that it would be publishing and monitoring PA hate talk, but little has been heard of the initiative since.
