Muhammad Al-Lahham, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council said on a December 23, 2023, show on Falestinona TV (Fatah-Lebanon) that Shakespeare, Dickens, and other Western authors "point to the suffering of Europe and the West at the hand of the Zionist movement." He said that they "described Zionist society as despicable, loathsome, thieving, dirty, filthy, murderous, lying, and deceitful." Al-Lahham said that it is clear that "Europe does not want them back." He continued to describe France, Britain, Germany, and the United States, as the "mother of all terrorism," stating that they killed millions in World War II and killed humanity. Al-Lahham said that the West should not sell concepts such as enlightenment and democracy to the Arab world, because "our culture is a million times better than the culture of the west."

Muhammad Al-Lahham: "If Shakespeare the playwright lived today, or Charles Dickens or many other Western authors—they would explain things to us in a better way, but their writings exist, and they point to the suffering of Europe and the West, at the hand of the Zionist movement. The greatest writers have described Zionist society as despicable, loathsome, thieving, dirty, filthy, murderous, lying, and deceitful. It was Europe that suffered from the woes of these people, and it was the Europeans who used these terms and described Zionist society in their plays, stories, and novels. So it is clear that Europe does not want them back. Some of them, like Germany, are peddling the idea that they are atoning for a sin they committed against these people. Okay, if you committed a sin against them, what is it to me? Why are you committing a sin against me? I didn't kill anyone. The Jews had lived in the Arab world for centuries, yet no case of persecution of Jews has ever been recorded in the Arab world. There, in Western Europe, in the Western world, in France, Britain, Germany, Austria, and elsewhere…

"They shouldn't come to us with their big slogans about exporting enlightenment, democracy, liberalism, and human rights. All these notions are lies. France is the mother of all terrorism. Britain is the mother of all terrorism. Germany is the mother of all terrorism. The USA is the mother of all terrorism. We did not kill 20 million people in the World War II. It wasn't us. It was Western Europe and the US government that have killed humanity. They have killed people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Colombia, and everywhere…France is killing people in Africa and is still a colonizer. They should stop trying to sell us enlightenment, democracy, and all those supposedly 'civilized' notions, as if their culture is better than ours. No. Our culture is a million times better than the culture of the West."
