Muslim war rhetoric against Israel \u2013 repeated<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Turkey, Iran, Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi say they want to wipe out Israel and that the whole region is actually Muslim. The rhetoric is not new, every Arab\/Muslim war against Israel has been preceded by vicious propaganda about eliminating the Jewish state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

T<\/span>urkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a party meeting at the end of July that Turkey may enter Israel in the same way it has done in the past in Libya and Nagorno\u2013Karabakh, Reuters reported.\u2028\u2013 Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we can do something similar to them, he said during the meeting.\u2028Turkey\u2019s ally, the terrorist group Hamas, is very clear about its goal of annihilating Israel. \u2028\u2013 I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all borders and that the Arab world will stand with us, Hamas spokesman Taher El\u2013Nounou told The New York Times in November.\u2028 And already on October 24 last year, Ghazi Hamad promised in the Hamas Politburo that if Hamas gets the chance, the massacre from October 7 will be repeated many times until Israel is exterminated.\u2028\u2013 Israel is a country that has no room\u2026 We must remove it because it represents a security, military and political disaster for the Arab and Islamic nation. We are not ashamed to say this, he told the Lebanese TV channel LBC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Goal \u2013 to wipe out Israel<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Ali Khamenei, Iran\u2019s supreme leader, said on May 24 that \u201dthe divine promise to eliminate the Zionist entity will be fulfilled and we will see the day when Palestine will rise from the river to the sea.\u201d\u2028 Hezbollah also has the elimination of the state of Israel as one of its main goals. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has explicitly stated that it wants to destroy the state of Israel and sees terrorist attacks as a way to weaken it and lay the foundation for an Islamic Arab army that can wipe Israel out. \u2028Even Al\u2013Qaeda has repeatedly stated that Israel must be destroyed. The slogan of the Houthi movement reads: \u201dAllah is the greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam\u201d. During Israel\u2019s war against Hamas, the Houthi movement has said it will continue to attack until Israel disappears.\u2028 On August 26, Syrian dictator Bashar Al\u2013Assad spoke of \u201dthe criminal Zionist army\u201d and described Israel as a Western \u201dcolonial project\u201d that will fall when Israel falls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Similar incitement again<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

This war rhetoric from Muslim terror groups and autocrats isn\u2019t new. Similar incitement against Jews has preceded every Arab\u2013Muslim war against Israel, as before the Six\u2013Day War that broke out on June 5, 1967. \u201dOur basic goal will be to destroy Israel. The Arab people want to fight\u2026 we undertake to be ready to start a general war with Israel,\u201d continued Nasser on May 27, 1967 who the next day pointed out that he would not accept any \u2026 coexistence with Israel.\u2028 After signing a defence pact with King Hussein of Jordan, Nasser said on May 30, 1967, \u201dThe armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon stand ready at Israel\u2019s borders \u2026 to meet the challenge, while we have the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the entire Arab nation behind us.\u201d\u2028 Egyptian state radio broadcast a statement on May 22, 1967 that \u201dthe Arab people are firmly resolved to wipe Israel off the map\u201d and on May 25, 1967 that \u201dmillions of Arabs \u2026 are preparing to blow up all America\u2019s interests, all America\u2019s installations and your entire existence, America.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Iraqi President Abdel Rahman Aref said on May 31, 1967, \u201dThe existence of Israel is a mistake that must be corrected. This is our opportunity to wipe out the disgrace that has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear \u2013 to wipe Israel off the map.\u201d\u2028 Ahmed Shukairy, chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), expressed on June 1, 1967 \u2013 in a situation where Egypt had occupied Gaza, and Jordan had annexed Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) for nearly two decades \u2013 that \u201dWe shall destroy Israel and its inhabitants and as for the survivors\u2014if there are any\u2014the boats are ready to deport them.\u201d \u2028Syrian Defense Minister Hafez Assad, who then took power in a military coup and is the father of Syria\u2019s current dictator, said on May 20, 1967 that Syrian forces are \u201dprepared not only to repulse the aggression, but to initiate the act of liberation itself and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland\u2026 As a military man, I believe it is time to enter a war of extermination.\u201d \u2028Algerian Prime Minister Houari Boumedienne, in turn, emphasized that \u201dthe freedom of the Motherland will be completed through the destruction of the Zionist entity and the expulsion of the Americans and the British from the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
