A Muslim preacher at Al-Aqsa Mosque has been convicted of incitement to violence after a sermon in which he called for the killing of Jews.
The charge sheet says that on November 28, 2014, Omar Abu Sara was giving a sermon in the mosque on the Temple Mount which was filmed and put on YouTube.
“I say to the Jews loud and clear: The time for your slaughter has
come. The time to fight you has come,” Abu Sara said in the sermon.
“The time to kill you has come and we, with the help of Allah, we are ready for the task — we and the loyal and faithful Muslims, along with the armies of the state of the Islamic caliphate, which will come to liberate this land from your filth, and that day is near…”
Abu Sara continued: “Allah, please bring the day nearer, bring the day of killing them nearer, bring the day of fighting them nearer, bring nearer the day we cleanse al-Aqsa from their filth, bring nearer the day the caliphate Islamic nation arises…
“Please do not leave in our hearts a single grain of mercy toward you, O Jews, because when the day of your slaughter arrives, we shall slaughter you without mercy.”
Abu Sara’s defense that he was citing passages from the Quran were not accepted by Judge Shmuel Herbst.
“The defendant’s statements are rife with demonstrations of hatred and hostility toward all Jews,” he added.
“Jews and Arabs live together in the State of Israel. That is a fact that… will not, apparently, change in the foreseeable future. By the words and speeches, the defendant and his ilk fan the flames of ongoing tensions,” Herbst continued.
“This begins with verbal utterances but we can see how it ends in the streets of Israel [with] bloody pursuits in which children and young people brandish knives… I look at the defendant and see before me a person. It is a great pity that he looks at me and sees the image of a monkey or pig, whose fate it is to be slaughtered without mercy,” Herbst concluded.
