Abbas-appointed dean of Islamic schools and PA TV host:
Israel uses sex to fight Arabs and Muslims
Imad Hamato, appointed by Abbas as dean of Gaza Al-Azhar schools:
- "Israel's war against the Arabs and Muslims is through sex mania which it distributes globally. Israel had to use this sex mania... to destroy the spirit of Arabs and Muslims"
- "The Jews... believe only in the body, not in the spirit"
- Israel has given the world "moral corruption", "degeneration of values", and the "use of drugs and pills"
PA Shari'ah judge:
- "Drugs are a weapon that the occupation has taken advantage of in order to crush our young"

In March this year, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas posed for pictures in his office with the Antisemitic PA TV host Imad Hamato, who Abbas appointed dean of Gaza's Al-Azhar institutes in October 2016. This month, official PA TV rebroadcast one of Hamato's many Antisemitic hate lessons from 2015, which Palestinian Media Watch has documented.
In this lesson, Abbas' appointee taught viewers of his weekly program This is Our Religion that Israel is waging a "war" against Arabs and Muslims and its most successful weapon is "sex mania which it distributes globally"!

Imad Hamato, appointed by PA Chairman Abbas as dean of Gaza Al-Azhar schools, host of weekly PA TV program on Islam: "Our conflict today between us and Israel is the conflict between spirit and body. Israel's global media has expanded, and its war against the Arabs and Muslims is through sex mania which it distributes globally. Israel had to use this sex mania, as we mentioned in a previous lesson, in order to destroy the spirit of Arabs and Muslims. Everything among the Muslims has died, except for their lust. Therefore we see filth and immodesty on many satellite channels, pictures and ads for penis enlargement and for all sorts of things. All of these are contrary to modesty. Why? Because the Jews, as it is said in the Quran, believe only in the body, not in the spirit. The Jews, according to our religion, believe only in the body."

Among the "bad" things Israel has "given to the world," Hamato listed "the use of drugs and pills," and stated that Israel in cooperation with the CIA spreads "mood enhancers" and "hallucinatory substances" to "destroy what remains of our children's values":

"What has Israel given to the world in our times, aside from moral corruption and degeneration of values, aside from the use of drugs and pills? I said in a previous lesson that the CIA has a unit called the Unit for Creating the Global Mood. They look at a map: 'What is appropriate for Gaza, or Jordan, or Syria? Tramadol pills (i.e., pain killers)? Mood enhancers? Hallucinatory substances?' They are produced in India, shipped to Israel and distributed in Sinai. Afterwards they are spread in the region, in order to destroy what remains of our children's values."

One of the PA's many ongoing libels is that Israel is spreading drugs among Palestinians to destroy Palestinian youth. A PA Shari'ah judge repeated this libel recently, stating that Israel uses drugs as "a weapon" to "crush" young Palestinians. President of the Shari'ah Court of Appeals and member of The [PA] Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council, Judge Ata Al-Muhtasib said that:
"The drugs are a weapon that the occupation has taken advantage of in order to crush our young. This is by drugging them, disabling their efforts, wasting their potential, and firstly destroying their religion and eliminating their future."

Judge Al-Muhtasib also blamed Palestinians for helping Israel accomplish this: "Several immoral people in our society have stretched out their hands to use [drugs], and worse - in order to help the occupier distribute them.'"
The following is a longer excerpt of Hamato's TV speech on the Israel's using "sex mania" in its "war on Arabs and Muslims," and a longer excerpt of the report on the Shari'ah judge's claim that Israel is spreading drugs among Palestinians:
Imad Hamato, appointed by PA Chairman Abbas as dean of Gaza Al-Azhar schools, host of weekly PA TV program on Islam: "Our conflict today between us and Israel is the conflict between spirit and body.

Headline: "Drugs - the occupation's weapon in Area C (i.e., areas of the West Bank under full Israeli security and administrative control)"
"President of the Shari'ah Court of Appeals and member of The [PA] Palestinian Supreme Fatwa Council, Judge Ata Al-Muhtasib said that the plague of drugs of all types has crushed whole nations, and threatens existing nations and an active culture. He added that Islam was the first to ban drugs and intoxicating drinks and to warn against them and their dangers...
He continued: 'It is everyone's responsibility to fight this dangerous plague in order to build a state whose people and institutions are strong, so that we will rebuild what the Israeli occupation has destroyed, repair what it has ruined, and plant what it has uprooted...'
Al-Muhtasib added: 'The drugs are a weapon that the occupation has taken advantage of in order to crush our young. This is by drugging them, disabling their efforts, wasting their potential, and firstly destroying their religion and eliminating their future. Despite everything we have mentioned above, several immoral people in our society have stretched out their hands to use [drugs], and worse - in order to help the occupier distribute them.'"
