Evidence of Hate Speech/Incitement:
2021: The cleric published on his twitter a link to a book entitled “Forty Hadiths about Disparaging the Jews”. Al Ayesh added “this file contains the authentic hadiths of the Prophet in condemning the Jews, as a warning to the nation from their actions and their bad behavior.”
March 2019: Al Ayesh in a video on Youtube entitled “the Big Conspiracy” describes how the “illuminati” controls the world political and economic order. He stated that not only the United Nations was built by Jews, but they also implemented unfair laws within the organisation.
April 2013: In an article published on Bayt Al Maqdis for Documentary Studies, a Salafi controlled centre that aims to publish studies on Palestine, Al Ayesh described the relationship between the “Muslim East” and the “infidel West” as a relationship of hostility. According to him, the hostility is rooted and will not disappear because it is a struggle between right and wrong.
