The Qatari government daily Al-Sharq posted a virulently antisemitic and anti-Israeli article by Qatari journalist Ibrahim Abd Al-Razzaq Aal Ibrahim, known for his support for jihad and hatred for Jews and for Israel.[1] In the article, from October 24, 2024, he wrote that the Zionists and the Jews are treacherous and corrupt and are full of "filth, wickedness and depravity." He also called them "bats of darkness" and "devils of Hell who suck the blood of the nations… [and are] incorrigibly [full of] resentment and jealousy." He explained that these traits are innate and therefore characterize all Jews and Zionists, but promised that the end of the Jews and the Zionists is surely near. He concluded by warning that the world and humanity will not enjoy security, stability and peace as long as Israel continues to exist on Palestinian soil.
The following are translated excerpts from his article:[2]
"Zionism is characterized by every filth, wickedness and depravity, and in fact by every bad trait. It is grounded in murder, cruelty, expulsion, devastation and destruction of both flora and fauna, ethnic cleansing and criminal racism, [as stated in Quran 5:64]: 'Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allah does not like corrupters.'
"They are the bats of darkness, the devils of Hell who suck the blood of the nations, a corrupt and corrupting junta that devours the assets of others and steals their resources, distorts facts and historical records, and is incorrigibly [full of] resentment and jealousy…
"All these [traits] really characterize them and they will never give them up, because they are the Jewish sons of Zion! They are unreliable, irresponsible and without a moral compass. [In fact,] moral corruption is a universal Jewish trait that characterizes all Jews. It is an inherited genetic characteristic of all Jews everywhere and in every era. A Jew can give up everything except for his moral corruption. A Jew can give up everything except for his moral abominations. He can give up everything except for his depraved actions, his deception, treachery, lies, jealousy and resentment.
"Do those who rush to [embrace] them understand this truth? Or are they encumbered by fear, [which causes them] to rush into their arms? Allah said [in Quran 5:52]: 'So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.' This is a Quranic truth that describes the present reality. May Allah protect us from all evil…
"The entire world is witnessing the Zionist barbarity we are experiencing on the beloved soil of Gaza and on every inch of blessed Palestine soil – [barbarity] that includes Judaizing and premeditated murder of every kind, with the support of those who purport to be humane. Blood is shed, infrastructure and the education and health systems are destroyed, and even animals and insects have not escaped [the wrath of] the Zionist leaders – those barbaric gangs devoid of any humanity, [those] rapacious dogs that certainly have no part [of the world to come].
"Your end and your departure are no doubt imminent, Allah willing, [and will be brought about] by the pure hands of the Palestinian men, women, youths, elders and leaders, God preserve them, for it is said [in Quran 22:32]: 'We shall take revenge on the guilty.' O sons of Zion, your strongholds will fall and collapse one by one. Those who said 'tell Tel Aviv that it will fall, no matter how many precautions it takes and how many barricades it puts up,' were right.
"Nobody ever supported the Jews at any time and at any place except hypocrites who are hostile to Allah, to His Messenger [the Prophet Muhammad], to His religion [Islam] and to their nation and homeland. Therefore, the most prominent trait of those who collaborate with the Jews is hypocrisy. This is a clear trait of all their despicable collaborators and servants. [And] how numerous are those despicable collaborators, who surrender to their barbaric entity these days!...
"The world and all its continents, and humanity [as a whole], will never enjoy security and safety, or peace and quiet, and there will be no peace with that rabble who arrived from every part of the world and with those highway robbers, as long as the criminal cancerous Zionist entity remains on the soil of the blessed Palestine."
