A popular new music video with outright incitement to murder Jews is being aired on official Palestinian Authority (PA) television. The video features lyrics and footage encouraging attacks specifically upon Jews living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha). Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) translated the movie clip from Arabic.

As images of a Jewish couple and a group of young Jewish girls walking home from school are flashed on the screen, the following background lyrics are heard repeatedly:

“From the mountain of fire [Nablus] came the rebels… Everywhere there are settlements. Oh brave Nablus, keep the cauldron ablaze Pour over the settlements great flames Foreigners have no place on this land Foreigners have no place where Shahids [martyrs] were killed.”

The music video intertwines scenes of Arab gunmen firing automatic rifles, aerial views of Jewish towns, and shaky camera shots of a Jewish man walking his wife, a group of teenage girls, and a soldier — all taken from behind, as though the camera were held by someone preparing to ambush the Jews.

The music video with subtitles can be viewed at the following link: Windows Media Player
