"… The Al-Aqsa Mosque is being Defiled by the Jews, the Most Despicable People on this Earth; By Allah, They are not Human Beings"
Abdallah Jarbu': "The Jews, the brothers of apes and pigs, have gathered from all corners of the world, in order to defile the Al-Aqsa Mosque. They have come to rob it of its purity, and they replaced it with their impurity, their filth, and their abomination. The Al-Aqsa Mosque... Along come the criminal Zionists, and open the so-called Hurva ('destruction') synagogue. May Allah bring their homes down on them.
[...]
"You cannot go on living, oh Arab and Islamic nation, while the Al-Aqsa Mosque is being defiled by the Jews, the most despicable people on this Earth. By Allah, they are not human beings. They are not men who deserve to live, as long as we are alive."
[...]
"What have we Become Accustomed to from America – that Criminal, Terrorist, and Murderous U.S. …?"
"The Jews have violated all the treaties and accords. They slayed the prophets in the past, and showed no respect for any prophet or messenger. The Koran says: 'They slayed the prophets unjustly.' Only a madman, who does not understand a thing, can possibly think that the Jews are human and should be treated as such, while their treatment of us is characterized by death, blood, and siege…
"What have we become accustomed to from America – that criminal, terrorist, and murderous U.S., which besieges Al-Aqsa TV? May Allah sustain the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Al-Aqsa TV, the men of Al-Aqsa, the mujahideen of Al-Aqsa, and all the Muslims of Al-Aqsa.
"We ask today: What have we become accustomed to see from America and Europe, except for disappointment, betrayal, and support of the Jews?"

"We Say to the Ramallah Authority [i.e. the PA]: Give Free Rein to Our Brothers, so that They Can Wage Jihad to Put an End to the Attacks of the Jews"
"Allah will send his wrath down from the skies upon the Jews and their collaborators. Allah will make the sea rage against all the oppressors. Allah will poison the air breathed by the Jews, the Americans, the Crusaders, and all the Zionists. May Allah turn the food that they eat to poison in their bellies.
[...]
"We salute anyone who tried to run over Jews with his bulldozers. We salute anyone who tried to stab a Jewish settler pig.
[...]
"There must be a third Intifada, with the blessing of Allah. We say to the Ramallah Authority: Give free rein to our brothers, so that they can wage Jihad to put an end to the attacks of the Jews. A martyrdom operation in the heart of Jerusalem, to blow up the settlements of the Jews, will terrify them and put an end to their schemes against us. A martyrdom operation in the heart of Tel Aviv will make them lose sleep, like in the past.
"As for the so-called 'peace' or 'peace process' – these are empty words, which constitute betrayal of the people and Allah's religion.
[...]
"The Jews, just like a cancer, operate via dormant cells, until the body collapses. We must stop this swelling, criminal, Zionist cancer."[...]
