Official PA daily: Israel and the US, the "Tatars and Nazis of our times," dig ditches for Palestinian bodies
Headline: “Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire)” [Sura 85:4, trans. Yusuf Ali]
“Palestine, the heart of this entire world, is still shrouded in smoke… The degraded savages, the Tatars and Nazis of our times, there is no future unless the [Palestinian] nation is destroyed, leaving no survivors except for traitors, fools and those who are submissive. But [should] a nation die in order to allow the murderous criminals to live alongside the traitors and fools, and escape punishment?
At the height of the grief and sighs, and surrounded by the tragic killings and the rage of the resistance, the soul seeks meaning and consolation. As if the disasters befalling us in this blessed land would be helping to clarify [what is said in] the Sura of the Constellations [from which the headline was taken]… The scene [described in the Sura] involved the ancient Christian believers, whose story was handed down over the generations… The Quran provides no details about the story, [which] is the summary of a tale about a group of evil men who dug and plowed ditches in the ground, lit raging fires in them and gave the believers a choice between being burned alive and renouncing their faith. Between losing life and losing the meaning of life… In Palestine, they have dug ditch after ditch for us, and the occupiers are still sitting [cf. Sura 85:6: “Behold! They sat over against the (fire).” (trans. Yusuf Ali)]… There is a struggle [going on] between those who carry in their hearts the right [to Palestine], the truth and the [Palestinian] cause, and despised creatures devoid of human feelings, who mock man’s right to life and liberty. They are armed by the US and imperialism, who helped them produce and market weapons, and to obtain nuclear warheads, with full impunity.”
