Gaza Islamic University theatre group puts on anti-Semitic production

The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center in Israel occasionally reports blatantly anti-Semitic propaganda employed by Hamas to demonize Jews, thus negating any accommodation with the Jewish state while justifying further attacks on Israeli civilians and Jews worldwide.


In this context the center gave an account of a play presented at the Islamic University in Gaza City to mark the death of Hamas founder and leader Ahmed Yassin. The play, which was also broadcast by Hamas's satellite Al-Aqsa TV on April 3, 2009, displayed Palestinian moral superiority in the face of bloodthirsty Jewish aggressors.

In “The House of Sheikh Yassin” a Jewish father and son are contrasted with a Palestinian father and son. The Jewish father, dressed as an ultra-Orthodox Jew (the Jewish-Israeli stereotype prevalent in Palestinian propaganda), preaches hatred of Arabs and Muslims to his son, while the Palestinian father tries to soothe his offspring, who was wounded by IDF fire.

Jewish father to his son: “We must wash our hands in Muslim blood”
At one point the Jewish father says, “We Jews hate Muslims. We like to kill Muslims. We Jews drink the blood of Muslims and Arabs.” He then turns to the audience and asks, “ Are you Arabs? Are you Muslims? I hate you. I hate you for the sake of [our] God's will.”

Later, he says to his son, “Shimon, I want to teach you some things: first of all, you have to hate Muslims.” Shimon answers, “I don't like them, I hate them.” The father continues, “ You have to drink Muslim blood. We have to wash our hands in Muslim blood ” [in the context of washing hands before prayer], and adds, “We have to conspire against Arabs and Muslims to satisfy God. We will destroy the Arabs and the Muslims.”


A cowardly Jew being led to his fate

 

Predictably, the play ends with the Jewish son participating in the operation in the Gaza Strip. Entering the house of the Palestinian he is so frightened and confused he loses his gun and is taken prisoner by the Palestinian boy, who leads this captive "pig" to the Hamas fighters, thus adding the "Jews are cowards" element to the production.
