The Zionist Organization of America News Release, October 30, 2001
NEW YORK – Yasir Arafat’s official radio station has broadcast a sermon
denouncing the United States as “heretics,” “dogs,” “imperialists,” and
“killers.”
The sermon was delivered by Yusuf Abu Snena, an Islamic preacher and official
of the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Religious Affairs, on October 26,
2001, and broadcast on Arafat’s official “Voice of Palestine” radio station.
Snena said:
“The attack on our Islamic allies seems to be a repetition of the
First World War, reminding us of the cooperation between the heretics to bring
down the German nation, which was destroyed by the heretic nations, thus
giving those heretic and imperialist nations the freedom to invade our Arab
Muslim homelands. These heretic nations are once again attacking, like dogs,
Muslim Afghanistan, and are fighting Islam everywhere…
Hostile American planes are killing innocent people…
These are heretic nations seeking to destroy Islam…
Imperialism is returning to the Arab regions, through the guise of a ‘war
on terror’…
We urge all Muslims to unite in a war against the Crusaders, and that
Allah will bring vengeance upon them.”

Morton A. Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of America
(ZOA), said:
“While Americans are mourning the September 11 attacks, and while
American soldiers are risking their lives to fight terrorists in Afghanistan, Yasir
Arafat’s official media are inciting Palestinian Arabs to hate America. How much
longer will the Bush administration continue giving $100-million in taxpayers’
money each year to the Palestinian Arabs?”
