A little Jew-hatred from the "Palestine Scholars' Association"

Hamas' English-language Qassam website tells us:
Muslim Scholars Association called on the Arab and Islamic nation to place names of those who call for normalization with Israel in the wanted list on charges of treason.

The Association said in a statement that the normalization is a direct recognition of the Israeli state, and leads to the loss of the holy sites and the violation of sanctities.

It pointed that some officials are seeking to prepare a delegation that will participate in a conference to be held in Turkey and aims to establish normalizing relations with the Israeli rabbis, and that the second part of the conference will take place in the 1948-occupied territories under Israel's auspices.

The scholars asserted that: "The nation has unanimously agreed that normalization with the occupation and visiting the holy city under the occupation are taboo."
No big deal, right? Arabs from Morocco to Bahrain are against "normalization."

Except that the Arabic version of the Palestine Scholars' Association press release includes some Jew-hatred as well that didn't survive the translation process:
We say: There is no Muslim on earth who is pleased with establishing relations with the killers of the earlier prophets; it was Jews who killed Zacharia and who tried to kill Jesus son of Mary and Muhammad bin Abdullah (prayers of Allah and peace be upon them all,) are not these the same rabbis who issue fatwas for the army to kill the young and old, women and children?
Ah, so speaking to Israelis isn't the issue - it is speaking to Jews that get them all hot and bothered.

Glad they cleared that up.
