Jerusalem Muslim Cleric Who Called for Slaughter of Jews Convicted of Incitement


(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court has convicted Muslim preacher Omar Abu Sara of incitement to violence. A video shows him speaking at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on November 28, 2014, saying: "I say to the Jews loud and clear: The time for your slaughter has come. The time to fight you has come. The time to kill you has come." Abu Sara claimed that he was merely quoting the Koran, but Judge Shmuel Herbst did not agree. Herbst wrote, "I look at the defendant and see before me a person. It is a great pity that he looks at me and sees the image of a monkey or a pig, whose fate it is to be slaughtered without mercy."
