This is imam Muhammad Abdullah Shakir speaking at the Greenwich Islamic Mosque last Friday.
He calls for Allah to grant "victory over the enemy".
"Curse the infidels."
"Destroy their homes, scatter them."
"Purify & protect al-Aqsa from the usurper Jews."

@monaeltahawy He didn't come close to saying that. He conflated Palestinians and Hamas, which is fair enough.
He noted a starkly different media response when terrorists target different people.
You conflated the Taliban, Hamas and Al Qaida as brown people.
So are brown people terrorists?
Trump spent more than a full year of the four he pretended to be ‘President’ on vacation, released 5000 Taliban prisoners, called our own troops “losers and suckers,” disparaged war heroes and gold star families; and sold nuclear secrets to MBS.
Biden took a walk with his wife.
@RaggedTP The rights of non combatants are duly observed.
Non combatants are martyring themselves.
Hamas can stop the Israel offense by releasing the hostages/bodies and surrendering.
Calling legitimate military action atrocities isn't balanced and speaks of ones latent prejudice.
@astroehlein@beppatweets No it isn't.
If I lived in a perpetual war zone and I wanted kids I'd move.
Palestinian children are props for performative grief for western eyes.
Why should I care more about their kids than they do?
Give them a button "kill all Jews" how many Palestinian kids press it?
Hamas keep starting wars then call for ceasefire after a week.
It's like commissioning yet another sequel to a badly scripted film that everyone hates.
It's so ill-advised but will inevitably happen again.
Hamas need to surrender.
That's your ceasefire.

@Hakeemfederer Jews had ID so they could be rounded up and killed.
Palestinians have ID so they can't stroll into Israel and slaughter civilians.
What a bad faith false comparison.
Head of the Hamas Women's Movement on TV claims that after introducing Gazan children to Jihad from Infancy, all Palestinian girls want to sacrifice themselves in terror attacks against Jews. She praises minor girls for this desire to sacrifice themselves.
