Palestinian Shariah judge may have authorized Muslims to kill Israelis
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) says supreme Palestinian Shariah judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash appears to have authorized Muslims to kill Israelis, WND reported Sunday. Al-Habbash, who was appointed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, said in a recent televised address that the Quran shows there are 10 transgressions against which Palestinians are commanded to fight: according to PMW, these transgressions seem to have “been carefully selected in order to turn every single Israeli into a target that every Palestinian Muslim is ‘commanded’ to fight and ‘allowed’ kill.”
The “transgressions” Al-Habbash cited are: “If someone comes to attack me … my home … my land … my homeland … my property … my honor … my family … your existence … your rights … your souls,” WND reported. “I am commanded to fight him,” Al-Habbash said. “I am commanded to confront him, I am commanded to resist them, and I am allowed to kill him if necessary as Prophet said and as this verse said: ‘And kill them wherever you find them.’ … [A]s long as they are targeting … you are allowed to fight them, and also to kill them.”
In a report seen by WND, Palestinian Media Watch said: “Feigning moderation, Al-Habbash first taught that people should not be killed without reason, whether ‘Muslims, infidels, idol worshippers, or people of the book (Jews and Christians).'”
However, the report continued, although Al-Habbash did not refer to Israel or Jews specifically, “it is clear from the context and from many years of demonization and libeling of Israelis and Jews by Al-Habbash and many other PA leaders that he was announcing to Palestinians that Israelis must be targeted.”
By way of illustration, the PMW report said: “Many PA leaders – including Al-Habbash – have said repeatedly that all of the land of the state of Israel is ‘Palestinian land.'” And Al-Habbash has said Israel cannot have even “one grain of sand” of what he calls Palestine.
