Haaretz interviews Dr. Mahmoud Habbash, chief Sharia judge for the Palestinian Authority and top religious affairs advisor for Palestinian president Abbas.
He says, “Ramadan is a month of prayer and mercy. But Israel’s behavior as an occupying entity in Jerusalem and the West Bank is causing an escalation.....”
Such a peaceful man, wanting to make sure that things don't escalate during Ramadan and certain that only Israel is fanning the flames of violence.
Haaretz, for some reason, didn't ask Dr. Habbash about other statements he has made that haven't been exactly moderate or peaceful.
Just last week, he said, "the Holy Land of Palestine will remain the property of the Palestinians only who alone have the right to it and those who have legitimacy. " Which means that Jews have no right to be there.
MEMRI has lots more clips of Habbash which show that he is not exactly a moderate peace-seeker.
A year ago, he made up a quote by Theodor Herzl, claiming that he said about Palestinian Arabs: 'We must exterminate them. We must throw them in the deserts or in the jungles of Africa, and let wild beast devour them.'"
In 2019, he said that normalization with 'the enemies of the prophet Muhammad' is treason.
And before that he called for "jihad" to protect Al Aqsa Mosque.
Sure sounds like incitement to me.
