MEMRI reproduces excerpts from a show on Saudi Arabia’s IQRA TV Channel, featuring “streeters” where Saudis were asked how they felt about Jews. No. This is not another Ali G / Borat thing. This is real. When asked by the interviewer, who is not Ali G, if he would shake hands with a Jew, one person replied “No. Because the Jews are eternal enemies. The murderous Jews violate all agreements. I can’t shake hands with someone who I know is full of hatred towards me.” Another person was asked “If a Child Asks You Who ‘Who are the Jews,’ What Would You Answer?” He answered thus:
Allah’s wrath is upon them, as the Koran says. Allah’s wrath is upon them and they all stray from the path of righteousness. They are the filthiest people on the face of this earth because they care only about themselves – not the Christians, not the Muslims, nor any other religion.
The solution is clear, not only to me but to everyone. If only [the Muslims] declared Jihad, we would see who stays home. We have a few countries… There is one country with a population of over 60-70 million people. If we let them only march, with no weapons even, they would completely trample the Jews, they would turn them into rotten carcasses under their feet. There is another country that donated money, saying, ‘I am behind you, I’ll support you with weapons, just wage [ Jihad ].’
But the cowardice inside us, deep within our hearts, was instilled by the Arab leaders, may Allah forgive them. They breast-fed us with it from the day we were born to this very day it has grown with us.
The interviewer responded by asking “So what you’re saying is that we should throw the Jews down the well, so my country can be free? And we have a big party?” Kidding. He didn’t say that because of course, this is not a skit on the Ali G show. But like… chill dude. I just hate you, but I’m not in hate with you.
Sigh.

“60-70 million unarmed Jew-haters marching on foot to Israel?”
I have a solution. We let them start marching and then we unleash a bag of a billion marbles. They’ll be tripping over themselves and each other for weeks. And by the time they finish they’ll be so exhausted there will be no fight left in them.

The guy sounds to articulate to be this ignorant.

It always makes me so sad when I hear about stuff like this. But come on, a “60-70 million unarmed Jew-haters marching on foot to Israel?” Have they forgotten that Israel has nuclear weapons? Heck, even without nukes the Israeli army is one tough nut to crack.

This sounds like scary stories that you tell while cooking marshmellows over an open fire! What will these kind of people do if they run out of Jews to hate? Start trampling on the Christians then Zoroasterians, Buddhists, and Hindus? Tell then to get a real hobby and leave the theology squabbling to God.

Am coming to the conclusion that there is no hope for the Arabs, i guess it comes down to finding some hardcase jews or christians that are willing enough to suicide bomb large arab cities, for their religion, so they can go to heaven and fuck 72 virgins.
