I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus, I will seal my life with martyrdom.

In another speech broadcast on Al Jazeera, Qaradawi prayed for the opportunity to kill a Jew before he died: “The only thing I hope for is that as my life approaches its end, Allah will give me an opportunity to go to the land of jihad and resistance, even if in a wheelchair. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers.” By means of all the things he did to them-even though they exaggerated this issue-he managed to put them in their place. “The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. “Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the people who would punish them for their corruption,” he ranted. In a 2009 speech aired on the Qatari mouthpiece Al Jazeera, Qaradawi made vicious remarks about Jews, urging Muslims to put Jews in “their place” as Hitler had done earlier. He also spoke about Qaradawi’s “visit to Gaza following the 2008 Israeli aggression, during which he voiced support for the Palestinian people and resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation.” Meshaal, who now heads Hamas’ overseas politburo, praised Qaradawi for speaking up on Arab and Muslim issues, including the Palestinian cause. A delegation led by Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh that included senior leaders Khaled Mashaal, Mousa Abu Marzook and Husam Badran attended Qaradawi’s funeral in the Qatari capital Doha.
