“There are clerics who oppose martyrdom operations in Palestine. By these operations Allah has compensated the Palestinians for their lack of strength.

“Judaism is the No. 1 propagator of violence…. the Torah itself states that when you enter a certain country, you must offer peace, and if they agree, all their residents are your slaves.

In the first country you must slay all males and leave only the women, but in the second country, you must not leave… you must uproot them. This is in Judaism, in the Torah.”
