Arab antisemitism just keeps on coming, and keeps getting worse

I have not seen this level of blatant antisemitism from Arab officials and media in a long time.

Jordan's Al Sabeel newspaper has an op-ed (republished on other news sites) on how to keep calm in Jerusalem:

Calm will only return on two conditions: that no Palestinian is prevented from entering Al-Aqsa at any time from anywhere in Palestine; And not to allow any Jew from entering it at any time.

It quotes a Jordanian ministerial statement that "called on the occupation to return the situation in Al-Aqsa Mosque to what it was before the year 2000 and close the Mughrabi Gate through which settlers carry out their daily incursions into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Meanwhile, the Sheikh of Al Azhar in Egypt rejected out of hand the suggestion that he meet with rabbis. 

Egyptian newspaper Al Majd has this headline: "The number of Jews in the world is 15 million evil people: only 7 million of them occupy Palestine and 6 million occupy the “Zionist” United States."

Rai al-Youm has an article that says that an unnamed (they) have been performing espionage and mass murder of civilians from the time of Joshua until today.

Ma'an offhandedly accuses Jews of murdering Jesus. 

There is a famous Yiddish story of a poor man who complains to the rabbi that his house is too small, and the rabbi asks him to fill it with farm animals for a while. After the animals are removed the man is happy that he has so much more room. This article, however, twists it into a tale of how Jews manipulate their enemies psychologically without doing anything concrete to help them.

And then there is this article in Al-Omah that is supposedly against normalization with Israel, but the examples of such normalization in the UAE include their hotels providing kosher food for visitors, plans for a Jewish neighborhood and sending Passover greetings. For good measure, it adds "Al-Aqsa Mosque must be liberated from the defilement, terror and arrogance of the Jews."

There's even more! Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa is the Egyptian minister of religious endowment (waqf). He came under attack on social media, because the ministry of waqf forbade night prayers in mosques this year because of COVID. People were upset and therefore called him the worst insult possible: they claimed he was a Jew. (A person who wanted to defend him considered calling one of his attackers the son of a Jewish mother, but decided that this was too harsh of an insult.)

All of this in only in the past 24 hours!

Arab media and officials used to at least pretend to be only anti-Zionist. They apparently have noticed that blatant Arab antisemitism is not noticed or cared about by the world, so they have returned to the old days before MEMRI and others who used to shame them into at least pretending to hide their hate of Jews.
