Hamas MP Al-Astal: We Must Massacre Jews, Impose Jizya Poll Tax on Them. MEMRI TV. Video Clip No. 4202, March 6, 2014. YouTube.
Transcript:
In a recent address, Hamas cleric and MP
Yunis Al-Astal said that the Koran indicates that “we must massacre [the
Jews]... to prevent them from sowing corruption in the world.” Al-Astal further
said: “We must restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them...
They must pay the jizya security tax while they live in our midst.” The address
was aired on March 6, 2014, on the Hamas-owned Al-Aqsa TV, broadcasting from
Gaza.
Following are excerpts:
Yunis
Al-Astal: In today’s show, we will discuss the demand that the Palestinian
people recognize [Israel] as a Jewish state, so that the occupation will
graciously hand them out scraps. I would like to begin by quoting what Allah
said about them: “The worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are those who disbelieve.
They are the ones with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant
every time.”
[...]
The
obvious question is: What is the solution to this gang of people? The Al-Anfal
chapter of the Koran provides us with the answer. After He said: “They are the
ones with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time,”
Allah added: “If you gain mastery over them in a war, use them to disperse
those who follow them that they may remember.” This indicates that we must
massacre them, in order to break them down and prevent them from sowing
corruption in the world. They are the ones who still spark the flame of war,
but Allah has taken it upon Himself to extinguish it.
[...]
We must
restore them to the state of humiliation imposed upon them. They should be dhimmi citizens. This status must be
imposed upon them by war. They must pay the jizya
security tax while they live in our midst.
[...]
However,
in Palestine, where they are occupiers and invaders, they cannot have the
status of dhimmis.

Commentary by Elder of Ziyon:
The
next to last paragraph is actually very important. While Muslims like to claim
how well they treated second-class dhimmis
over the centuries, al-Astal is admitting the truth: the entire point of
dhimmitude is to impose a state of humiliation on Christians and Jews.
Which
is why Muslims will never accept Israel. The idea that the weak, dhimmi Jews are more powerful than
Muslims – in the middle of the Muslim world – is the worst humiliation that can
be imagined. They can sort of accept that 2 billion Christians have a lot of
power outside Muslim geographical centers, after all, that’s been the status
quo for 500 years. But 6 million Jews building a country that a billion Muslims
cannot destroy? That cannot be accepted, no matter what.
And
this is why these Jews in Israel are not even accorded dhimmi status, according to al-Astal. Their humiliation of Muslims
is so egregious that the Koran itself must be interpreted to demand that they
be massacred.
But the
West still thinks that a couple of Muslim national leaders signing a piece of
paper can change the entire Islamic psyche overnight or in a few years.
