On May 17, 2023, Palestinian journalist Ghassan Mustafa Al-Shami, who writes frequently on Hamas-affiliated websites, penned a virulently antisemitic article in the Jordanian daily Al-Dustour, in which he described "the Zionist Jews" as "the descendants of apes and pigs," "devil worshippers," cheats, liars and "the most twisted and impure creatures on the face of the earth." Referring his readers to the Quran and the Sunna to discover more about the Jews, Al-Shami stated that the world will continue to suffer from them until "someone finds a magic solution to be rid of them forever, once and for all." He concluded by saying that the conflict between the Jews and the Palestinians is a religious one, and that the Jews will never manage to defeat the Palestinian resistance, which will continue to exhaust them and keep them in a state of perpetual dread.

The following are translated excerpts from his article:[1]
"The Zionist Jews are the most twisted and impure creatures on the face of the earth. They are descendants of apes and pigs, devil worshipers… masters of witchcraft, godless crooks. The Jews and some of the greatest devils and satans, they are fraudsters, cheats and liars. This is the most cursed and impure people ever created in the world. To know more about the Jews, one should peruse the exalted Quran and the pure Sunna of the Prophet, which provide extensive information and accurate details about them.
"The Zionist Jews have murdered women and children, young people and old, by massacring, burning and crushing them, and expelled millions of people [from their homes]. These impure Zionists think that all the people of the world – the Americans, Europeans, Chinese, Japanese and all the other nations, except for the Muslims – exist to serve them and to live under their control, those impure and twisted people. Nobody in the world finds favor with them, except for their own kind. The Western world and the world at large will continue to suffer from the Jews until someone finds a magic solution to be rid of them forever, once and for all.
"The author of this article wonders if it makes sense that eight million Zionists should keep the eight billion people of the world – everyone except for the Palestinians, the resistance fighters, the freedom lovers, and those with a living conscience – in a state of turmoil, concern, madness and hysteria and constantly serving the Zionists' interests. "Since it took over our land [of Palestine], the Zionist entity [i.e., Israel] has been using biblical terms, since it understands that the war with the Palestinians is a religious one and that the conflict is religious and ideological. [Yet] despite using all those weapons – with their biblical names, such as Iron Dome, David's Sling, Moses' Magic Wand[2]… David's Shield, etc. – the Zionists have not managed to defeat the Palestinian resistance and to continue defiling our Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem. More than that, the resistance will exhaust them with its fames of hell and terrorize them from morning till night, every moment of their daily lives."
