From MEMRI TV:

In his October 4, 2024 Friday sermon at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, which was aired on Nour Al-Sham TV (Syria), Sheikh Tawfiq Muhammad Sai'd Ramadhan Al-Bouti said that the Jews are "half-humans," treacherous in nature, that they killed the prophets, and tried to kill Jesus. He said that the "heroic acts" of the people of Lebanon, Palestine, and Gaza will finish off the "remnants of the rats of [the Jewish tribes] of Banu Nadhir and Banu Qaynuqa. Al-Bouti stated that the Jews admit in the Protocols of the "Devils" of Zion, that they are the "masters of the world, its corruptors, […] and executioners." He continued to claim that they are behind every kind of moral corruption and pornography in the world and that they spread strife and war worldwide. Al-Bouti prayed that Allah grant "total victory" to the Islamic nation, so it brings about the end of this enemy and cleanses the land of Palestine of their "filth."

Imagine if a Jewish preacher said anything remotely comparable about Arabs or Muslims: it'd hit the headlines. This is business as usual, though, across the Islamic Middle East….
