P.A.: KILL A JEW, GO TO HEAVEN

Kill a Jew - Go to Heaven: The Perception of the Jew in Palestinian Society - Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook (Jewish Political Studies Review)
The Palestinian religious, academic, and political elites teach an ideology of virulent hatred of Jews. The killing of Jews is presented both as a religious obligation and as necessary self-defense for all humankind. Palestinian Authority elites have built a three-stage case against Jewish existence:
1) Collective labeling of Jews as the enemies of Allah, possessing an inherently evil nature
2) Teaching that because of their immutable traits, Jews represent an existential danger to all humanity
3) Presenting the necessary solution: the annihilation of Jews as legitimate self-defense and a service to God and man.
