Israël als slang om Palestijns land op Fatah TV

 

De slang is een oud en bekend thema in antisemitische afbeeldingen.

 

Op deze manier bereidt het gematigde Palestijnse leiderschap de bevolking voor op vrede en verzoening met Israël? Duidelijk blijkt ook dat de Palestijnen allang niet meer uit zijn op Israëls vernietiging oftewel de 'bevrijding' van het hele land, maar slechts een staat in de Gazastrook en de Westelijke Jordaanoever nastreven. Die verhalen over opruiing in Palestijnse media zijn inderdaad slechts Zionistische propaganda.

Bulletin Jan 24 2008 Palestinian Media Watch "My enemy, oh snake! Around the land, you are coiled. You have no choice, oh enemy, but to leave my country." [Palestinian TV, January 2008, broadcast daily] by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook A hate video broadcast continuously on official (Fatah-controlled) Palestinian TV over the past several months calls Israel "my enemy" and spews out messages of hate and loathing. The song's refrain, "My enemy, oh enemy," is repeated over and over throughout the song. Israel is not even given the courtesy of a name, but is tagged  with such labels as "treacherous," "imperialism" and a "coiled snake." The Palestinian is portrayed as a heroic victim who courageously confronts the evil "enemy" Israel:                           "If you pull out my eyes, my heart will see.                            If you cut off my hands, my chest is knives and swords." The enemy, Israel, is denied the right to                            "This homeland is ours." Therefore, the song concludes, the Palestinians will ultimately prevail, and Israelis will be expled        "You have no choice, oh enemy                             but to leave my country." The goal of this music video clip is to inculcate loathing of Israel and anticipation of its destruction. The repeated broadcast over recent months by Fatah-controlled television is consistent with other Arabic-language hate messages currently being disseminated -- in spite of the peace talks. PA TV first aired this music video in 2004 and resumed its broadcast in October, 2007. It was broadcast throughout the Annapolis conference as well as during President Bush's visit to Israel. It continues to be aired on almost a daily basis. The following is the text of the hate video. Click here to view: "My enemy. Oh, my enemy. Stop your crimes. Treaty breaker! Treacherous!... If you pull out my eyes, My heart will see. (x2) If you cut off my hands, My chest is knives and swords. My enemy! Oh imperialism! This homeland is ours. (x2) This land will be tilled only by our hoes. (x2) Whenever the tension rises, Whenever this land weeps, (x2) the flower will return to grow in our house. My enemy. Oh, my enemy. Stop your crimes. Treaty breaker! Treacherous!... My enemy! Oh snake! Around the land, you are coiled. (x2) We, noble, courageous, on the day of ruin [battle], shall stand. You have no choice, Oh enemy, but to leave my country. And my children will return.
