1. Israel has no right to exist, definitely not as a Jewish state;
there is no Jewish people, and it has no historic
connection with the Holy Land or Jerusalem.
2. The eventual elimination of the State of Israel is
inevitable, and a Palestinian state will be established
throughout “Historic Palestine”.
3. The Jews and Zionists are inferior, inhuman creatures,
who pose an “environmental hazard” to Jerusalem, and
should be dealt with accordingly.
4. All forms of struggle, including terrorism, are legitimate
in pursuit of the ultimate goal. At times diplomatic or
political struggle may be more expedient than terror.

“Brothers, the oppressors have
gone too far.
Thus, the Jihad is a privilege,
and sacrifice is a privilege.
So unsheathe your sword,
and do not return it.”
