In his October 4, 2024 Friday sermon at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, which was aired on Nour Al-Sham TV (Syria), Sheikh Tawfiq Muhammad Sai'd Ramadhan Al-Bouti said that the Jews are "half-humans," treacherous in nature, that they killed the prophets, and tried to kill Jesus. He said that the "heroic acts" of the people of Lebanon, Palestine, and Gaza will finish off the "remnants of the rats of [the Jewish tribes] of Banu Nadhir and Banu Qaynuqa. Al-Bouti stated that the Jews admit in the Protocols of the "Devils" of Zion, that they are the "masters of the world, its corruptors, […] and executioners." He continued to claim that they are behind every kind of moral corruption and pornography in the world and that they spread strife and war worldwide. Al-Bouti prayed that Allah grant "total victory" to the Islamic nation, so it brings about the end of this enemy and cleanses the land of Palestine of their "filth." Sheikh Tawfiq Muhammad Sai'd Ramadhan Al-Bouti is the son of Sheikh Muhammad Sa'id Ramadhan Al-Bouti, a prominent pro-regime Sunni scholar, who was assassinated during the Syrian civil war, while delivering a religious lesson in a mosque.
Tawfiq Ramadhan Al-Bouti: "This is the nature of the Jews. They are treacherous and perfidious by nature. Allah described in the Quran just how loathsome and dangerous these half-humans are, by saying: 'Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a group of them they called liars, and others among them they killed.' They killed the prophets. They killed John the Baptist and his father, and they tried to kill Jesus, and others as well.

"Today, we see how the Zionist enemy is conspiring against our nation, and how it is inciting the entire world against our people in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon. This deception points to their extreme depravity, perfidy, and treachery, and their desire to spread strife and wars. This is not surprising, because in the Protocols of their Elders – or rather, their devils – one of them says: 'We Jews are nothing but the masters of the world, its corruptors, and its executioners, who spread strife.' This is what they say in the Protocols. They say: 'We are nothing but the masters of the world, its corruptors...' – indeed, they are behind every kind of moral corruption, promiscuity, immorality, homosexuality, and so on – '...the ones who spread strife in the world, and its executioners.' This is what we are witnessing today. Their plots today against our people in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon will be their graves. These plots of theirs will be the cause of their end, and the cause of their defeat, Allah willing.
"Indeed, the signs of their defeat and their end have begun to appear, to anyone who follows the conflict between the Islamic nation and the remnants of the rats of [the Jewish tribes of] Banu Nadhir and Banu Qaynuqa. The heroic acts of our people in Lebanon, Palestine, and Gaza will finish them off. These heroic acts will be their graves, Allah willing. I pray to Allah to bring salvation to our nation, to grant it total victory over the Zionist enemy, to bring about the end of this enemy and its conspiracies, and to cleanse the land of Palestine of their filth."
