October 10, 2015 – “O Allah, give them victory over the Jews the aggressors… O Allah, let them hit their targets and show us actions against the Jews that will satisfy our breasts [meaning make us content].”

September 13, 2015 – Al-Aqsa Mosque. Allah is sufficient for me, Most Excellent is He in whom I trust. O Allah, give victory (support) to the third holiest site [in Islam, meaning Al-Aqsa Mosque] and the first qibla in [Islam, meaning Al-Aqsa Mosque]. O Allah, destroy the Zionists. O Allah, protect our people in Palestine. O Allah, take revenge of the Jews and their assistants. O Allah, we ask you to give us victory soon…”

Undated – Sh. Omar AbdulKafi quoted the following hadith about the future fate of the Jews: “The Hour will not begin until you fight the Jews, until a Jew will hide behind a rock or a tree, and the rock or tree will say: ‘O Muslim, O slave of Allah, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him, but the tree Gharqad [a kind of thorny tree] would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.”
