“Oh brothers of apes and pigs! Fear me, fear me!”
—Islam’s prophet Muhammad addressing the besieged Jews of the Banu Qurayza, using a Koranic epithet, before he subdued them and personally beheaded their surrendered adult males

Tuesday evening (4/30/19), to open his discussion about the New York Times’ publication of two virulently antisemitic cartoons, and surrounding protests, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, made this introductory remark to one of his guests, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz:
You [Dershowitz] actually said, “one of the weapons of hate against Jews deployed by Nazi Germany were cartoons and caricatures that depicted Jews as subhuman animals, often as dogs and spiders.” Sort of like the head of the [Egyptian] Muslim Brotherhood [Muhammad] Morsi who said Jews “were the descendants of apes and pigs”…
Professor Dershowitz failed to identify the direct Koranic source (Koran 5:60) of Morsi’s epithet cementing Hannity’s conflation of 20th century Nazi imagery, with an ancient, canonical Islamic theme of Jew-hatred. Surely the Professor is not oblivious to yeoman work performed by the Middle East Media Research Institute which has captured ad nauseum usage of Koran 5:60 for incitement of Muslim Jew-hatred across two decades—by three year-old Muslim children, to Sunni Islam’s Papal equivalent Al-Azhar Grand Imam—and analyzed this Koranic epithet’s theological origins within Islam.
Dershowitz’s refusal to make this distinction is entirely consistent with a rigidly enforced overall messaging campaign at Fox News. All Fox media talking heads, and their “invited experts” negate accurate, intellectually honest discussion of Islam’s core theology of Jew-hatred, deliberately depriving their audiences of such understanding. When a Jewish savant and “free thought champion” like Professor Dershowitz abides these morally bereft “ground rules,” promoting the continued obfuscation of the Islamic motifs animating the global pandemic of Muslim-Jew hatred, it is especially reprehensible.
Dershowitz is hardly alone in conforming with this negationist Fox News behavior. Morsi’s 2010 interviews which characterized “Zionists”—unmistakably Jews in the Muslim Brotherhood leader’s parlance—as being “the descendants of apes and pigs” came to light, broadly, by early 2013. Yet not once since Hannity began mentioning Morsi’s Koranic epithet reference in January 2013, over the intervening 6+ years, till now, has he or any of his interlocutors informed the Fox News viewing audience of its Koranic origins.
The theological basis for Morsi’s dehumanizing allegations against the Jews is a central (and conspiratorial) antisemitic motif in the Koran which decrees an eternal curse upon them for purportedly slaying the prophets, and transgressing against the will of Allah (Koran 2:61, and 2:90–91, reiterated at 3:112). This central motif is coupled to Koranic verses 5:60, and 5:78, which describe the Jews transformation into apes and swine (5:60), or simply apes, (i.e. verses 2:65 and 7:166), having been “…cursed by the tongue of David, and Jesus, Mary’s son” (5:78). According to the earliest sacralized, pious Muslim biographies of Muhammad (by Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Saad), just before subduing the Medinan Jewish tribe Banu Qurayza, Islam’s prophet invoked this striking Koranic motif for the Jews debasement, addressing these Jews, with hateful disparagement, as “You brothers of apes (per Ibn Ishaq),” or “Brothers of apes and pigs. Fear me, fear me.” (per Ibn Saad). Ibn Ishaq’s account further maintains that, upon their surrender, Muhammad himself beheaded between 600 to 900 of the adult Jewish males of the Banu Qurayza, and enslaved their wives and children.
Muhammad Morsi’s understanding of Koran 5:60 comports, moreover, with the verse’s classical exegesis in the seminal Tafsir al-Jalalayn, which remains one of the most popular, as well as the most authoritative Koranic commentaries in Egypt. Here is the gloss on 5:60 from Tafsir al-Jalalayn:
[5:60] ..those whom Allah has cursed and put far away from His mercy and with whom he is angry—turning some of them into monkeys and into pigs by transmogrification—and who worshipped false gods. These are the Jews…“False gods” refers to Shayṭān [Satan]. They [the Jews] worship him by obeying him. Such people are in a worse situation—because they will be in the Fire—and further from the right way (the Path of the Truth) [i.e., Islam]
The historical treatment of Jews in Muslim societies, including Egypt, since the advent of Islam—chronic oppression, punctuated by outbursts of mass anti-Jewish violence, forced conversion to Islam, or expulsion—has resulted from this sacralized religious bigotry. Thus the dehumanizing Koranic references to Jews as apes (or apes and pigs) were used explicitly for polemical incitement to large scale, annihilationist pogroms against dhimmi Jewish communities in Granada (within mythically “tolerant” Muslim Spain) during 1066, Baghdad and its environs, proliferating into Iran, at the end of the 13thcentury, and southern Morocco at the close of the 15th century.
Despite the Sadat era peace agreement—and in direct violation of its principles—Egypt’s mainstream Islamic institutions, most notably Al-Azhar University itself—have continued to expound unmitigated jihadism against the non-Muslim infidel, and “sacralized” Jew-hatred.
Prominent Jewish public intellectuals such as Alan Dershowitz are failing their moral obligation to identify and condemn Islam’s canonical Jew-hating bigotry as promulgated by the creed’s most authoritative religious teaching institutions. This failure abets the ethically cretinous policy of “conservative leaning” Fox News to negate all discussion of the Islam animating the ugly, pervasive phenomenon of Muslim Jew-hatred.

Another part of Dershowitz’s problem is he may be o Jewish blood etc.
but HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF AN AGNOSTIC.
He is a cowardly fence sitter.

Just because someone is of pure Scottish extraction does not mean that he has to be a member of the Church of Scotland. Some Scots, and those of Scottish descent are Episcopalians, some are Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists. I’ve met Scots that were Buddhists and I even know someone of full Scottish descent, a pure blood as it were, that converted to Judaism after marrying a gorgeous Ashkenazi lady … I mean movie star knock-out. One’s bloodline does not necessarily dictate their religious beliefs.

Calling himself an agnostic is an excuse to throw any knowledge of God into the trash and dismiss the God of Israel entirely. He, with help from Fox News, has made himself a god for conservatives to gush over, thinking he is on their side.

Sorry to hear that Fox seems to downplay the Koranic incitement to Jew-hatred. Then they bring on “experts” such as Dershowitz who continue the narrative. This one thing is not going to deter viewership of numero uno.

Um, it was the Romans who crucified Yeshua, the Sanhedrin cleared Yeshua of any crimes of blasphemy but had no choice but to turn Yeshua over to the Roman occupation government because Rome ran Israel.

Indeed and agreed. Any serious poster here with discernment could straighten him out. He knows his paymaster at Fox News. And Fox News knows who their paymaster is. They follow orders.
Dershowitz still has that “I vote Democratic” smirk on his face no matter who he interviews with.

Fox paymaster is Prince Alweed bin Tal of Saudi Arabia. And with Rupert Murdoch retired, his anti Israel son has taken over. I’m suprised the rhetoric against Irael is not greater than it is.

Professor Failed Oslo Dershowitz has a lot to learn about a lot of things – including how off base he has been and continues to be about Two-State-Delusion:
Most Israelis disagree with Dershowitz’s support for Palestinian state

They are monsters devoid of intelligence or reason.
The definition of intelligence is moral behaviour. Moral behaviour is the absence of harm and self harm.
All human intelligence is based on inborn survival instincts(the avoidance of harm and self harm). Any wiring which is contrary to human survival instincts is acquired through life experiences which are operent conditioning oriented, wiring the individual to reject our survival instincts. Human Psychological Equality is also inborn and must be conditioned out of us.
Anything backward or opposite to human survival instincts is based on delusion and is therefore classified as schizophrenic behaviour.
My statement is correct.

All crime is the result of choosing hypocrisy, and “mental illness” alibis to excuse criminal intent can be summed up as hypocrisy. All criminals are hypocrites, and all hypocrites are criminals.

Dershowitz, a Jew, has lost the plot. Then again, his defense of Islam’s repugnant, anti-Semitic tenets is beyond erroneous; it is unconscionable. Dershowitz is the consummate Jewish Democrat, electing to defend the indefensible while offending the victims of antisemitism millennia ago to present day, into the future.
