Tamimi’s shocking anti-Jewish incitement proves Palestinian extremism—not Israel—is the true obstacle to peace.
Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi — long celebrated by Western activists but known in Israel for her repeated incitement — has once again revealed the depth of her extremist worldview. In newly surfaced remarks from July, Tamimi openly declared that she is not just opposed to Zionism but to Judaism itself, asserting that she will continue to view Jews as “terrorists.”
Her statements, translated by MEMRI from footage posted by Watan News Agency, offered a rare and unfiltered look at the radical ideology that fuels violent anti-Israel activism. Tamimi dismissed Palestinians seeking peaceful coexistence, saying they do not represent her and that she refuses any peace with Israel under any circumstances.
“Who said we want peace with the occupiers? … I am against Judaism,” she declared, before insisting she would continue labeling Jews as terrorists until they “defend their religion” as she claims to defend hers.
Tamimi did not stop there. She launched a fierce attack on the Palestinian Authority, calling it the “greatest obstacle” to the Palestinian national struggle and accusing its leaders of siding with their “executioners.” She asserted that she is represented only by the ‘resistance’ — a common euphemism used by terror factions to describe violent attacks against civilians.
This is not new behavior. Tamimi has repeatedly crossed the line from political rhetoric into explicit calls for violence. In 2018 she was convicted for assaulting IDF soldiers and incitement. In 2023 she was arrested again for online posts that promoted terror attacks and threatened Jewish residents living in Judea and Samaria.
But her most disturbing message came in a viral Instagram post:
“We will slaughter you… we will drink your blood and eat your skulls… you will say what Hitler did to you was a joke.”
Such genocidal language mirrors the rhetoric of ISIS and Hamas, illustrating how extremist ideology — not grievances — drives the growing wave of Palestinian incitement. While Israel continues to pursue regional peace and normalization, voices like Tamimi’s reinforce the reality that the primary obstacle to coexistence is violent hatred cultivated within extremist circles, not Israeli policy.
Tamimi’s declarations also expose the moral bankruptcy of Western activists who portray her as a symbol of justice while ignoring her calls for mass murder, her celebration of violence, and her rejection of any peaceful future.
Israelis point to Tamimi’s rhetoric as clear proof: those who glorify violence cannot claim to seek peace.
