Palestinian author Jihad Al-Rajabi speaking on Jordanian TV:
I say to the people of Gaza that they should raise their children on Jihad ideology. They should tell their children: Eat, so that you will become strong and can fight the Israeli enemy. They should burn the midnight oil and invest all that is dear to them, in order to bring the others down to their knees. They should sacrifice all this for the sake of this pure soil, which we irrigate with the blood of the martyrs.
I once visited Jabal Al-Rais, which played a decisive role in the battles between the people of Gaza and Israel. Whoever controls Jabal Al-Raise controls the battlefield. I tasted the lemons there, and felt their nectar and their scent. The trees there are heavy with fruit.
So I say: Oh Arabs, oh Muslims, if you want the Lord to provide for you, wage Jihad with your blood, because blood makes the land and soil more fertile. If you want to see trees heavy with fruit, go to Jabal Al-Rais and look at the lemon trees, which have been irrigated with the blood of mujahideen and martyrdom-seekers.
Well that's nice. Though I'm not sure how it'd go down in Tesco's – "Palestinian lemons, irrigated for that extra zingy flavour with the blood of martyrs".
Of course the BDS crowd would be queueing up….
