Head of Palestinian Writers Union in Gaza Presents 'Jewish Plan for Taking over the World'

'Atallah Abu Subh, who heads the Palestinian Writers Union in Gaza and is a columnist for the Gazan newspaper Filastin, and who formerly served as culture minister in the Hamas government, penned a series of articles on the "Jewish Talmud" and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He stated that these books, written by "rabbis," set out the Jewish plan for taking over the world by various means, including by controlling countries and governments, instigating crises and revolutions, corrupting societies, sowing internal division, undermining education and religion, amassing huge weapons arsenals, stealing and confiscating property, and by other means. He stated that the Jews are liars and oppressors, so there is no point in negotiating with them and the only way to deal with them is through struggle and resistance.

Special Dispatch No. 3010—Qatar/Holocaust Denial

Antisemitic Articles in Qatari Dailies: History Has Misjudged Hitler; The Jews Are Exploiting the Holocaust; Global Zionism Aims to Take Over the World

On April 21, 22 and 23, the Qatari press published three articles characterized by virulent antisemitism and/or Holocaust denial. The first, by Algerian writer and journalist 'Abd Al-Baqi Salay, appeared in the daily Al-Sharq. Salay wrote that history has done injustice to Hitler, who was merely "a warrior like any other," and whose war against the Jews was based on the premise that they were "a corrupt nation that had to be eliminated for good." Salay also claimed that Hitler was a great admirer of Islam, and that had he won the war, the Palestinian problem would never have arisen.

The second article, by Bahraini author and intellectual Dr. 'Ali Muhammad Fakhro, published in Al-Raya, dealt with the "Jewish exploitation" of the Holocaust and of antisemitism. Fakhro equated the Holocaust with the fate of the Palestinians under the "Zio-Nazi" regime, and called on the Arabs to establish a center that would counter the Jewish manipulations and expose "the Zionists' myths and lies."

The third article, also in Al-Sharq, was by Muhammad Al-Sharshabi. He argued that all conflicts and wars worldwide, and especially those within the Muslim nation, were caused by "Global Zionism," with the ultimate aim of taking over the world and Judaizing it.

Massoud Shadjareh of the Islamic Human Rights Commission on Al-Jazeera: By Buying Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Motorola Products, You are Giving Money to the Killers of Your Brothers

Following are excerpts from an address delivered by Massoud Shadjareh, representative of the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on March 26, 2010. Shadjareh, who in 1997 was one of the founders of the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission, has authored several papers on Islamophobia and human rights. In his bio, Shadjareh is described as "a veteran human rights campaigner, who began his activism on campus at UCAL Berkley during the anti-Vietnam protest movement in the late 1960s… He currently sits on the Home Office Stop and Search Review community panel, which is addressing the disproportionality of stops against minorities."
