Palestinian Authority TV aired an interview in June with an “Israeli affairs expert” who said, “We know that the Jewish mind always invents things.”

“The more despicable a thing is, it is an invention of the Jewish mind,” said Fayez Abbas on a program called “Israel in the News” that ran on June 8, according to Palestinian Media Watch.

Fayez has a history of anti-Semitic statements, such as using Nazi imagery to describe Israelis and Jews.

“I think most of the Israeli leaders are prized students of Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in the period of Nazi Germany,” he said on P.A. TV in April.

“This policy that the Jew is the ‘Aryan,’ as happened in Germany---it is the same policy, the same ideological thought,” said Abbas.
