A television station run by the jihadist Hamas movement - meaning, of course, the Gaza half of the Palestinian Authority - recently broadcast a play that included a crude portrayal of a very straightforward anti-Semitic blood libel.

The April 3, 2009 show went like something this (according to Palestinian Media Watch):

[A father speaking to his son] Father: "We Jews hate the Muslims, we want to kill the Muslims, we Jews want to drink the blood of Muslims and Arabs."

[Turns to the audience:] "Are you Muslims and Arabs? I hate you, to please God." [Imitates Jewish prayer]

The rest is more of the same, repeated ad nauseum.

Invariably, the Islamists need actors when they portray some imaginary Jewish desire for drinking Muslim (or Christian) blood. There was that Hamas play, Syrian and Egyptian telenovellas, PA music video clips, Iranian children's shows, and more.

As for me, I can't afford to pay any actors, so I'll have to make due with Adham Ahmad Hujyla Abu Jandal. Before setting off on a suicide attack on December 7, 2004, Abu Jandal made a "farewell video" in which he said:

"My message to the loathed Jews is that there is no god but Allah. We will chase you everywhere. We are a nation that drinks blood, and we know that there is no blood better than the blood of Jews. We will not leave you alone until we have quenched our thirst with your blood, and our children's thirst with your blood."
