What’s astonishing about this is that the world doesn’t bat an eye.

What’s astonishing about this is that the world doesn’t bat an eye. Imagine if a scholar from any other religious tradition praised a religious ruling calling for the killing of anyone — the outcry would go on for months, or years. But this sort of religious ruling has no parallel in other contemporary religious traditions, and no one seems concerned about it at all.
“Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shajrawi Of The Palestine Scholars Association In The Diaspora: A ‘Wonderful’ New Fatwa Permits Killing Israelis Wherever They May Be – In Palestine, Israel, Or Abroad,” MEMRI, October 9, 2023:
Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shajrawi of the Palestine Scholars Association in the Diaspora said on an October 9, 2023 show on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Palestinian Islamic Jihad – Gaza) that his organization issued a “wonderful” fatwa stating that it is permissible to kill Israelis wherever they may be, whether it is in the West Bank, within Israel’s 1948 border, or in the Arab countries that have normalized relations with Israel.
Dr. Mahmoud Al-Shajrawi: “A wonderful fatwa was issued by the Palestine Scholars Association in the Diaspora yesterday. The fatwa permits killing Israelis wherever they may be – in Palestine, in the West Bank, inside the 1948 [borders], or outside Palestine, even in [Arab] countries that normalized their relations [with Israel], that a large number of so-called ‘Israeli tourists’ visit. Most of them are soldiers or conscripts in the occupation army, and when they return [to Israel], they take part in killing us and our sons.
