An animated video that encourages murdering Israelis by showing graphic recreated scenes of real Palestinian terror attacks in Jerusalem has appeared on TikTok – a social network popular among teens, headquartered in China, where users can create and share short videos.
The video, discovered by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) and titled “Jerusalem is the dread of the Jews,” shows four lethal terror attacks that were committed against Israelis through shooting, stabbing and car-ramming.
An eagle – possibly symbolizing the eagle in the emblem used by the Palestinian Authority and the PLO – flies above the carnage throughout the video.
“This animation is utterly shocking,” says PMW’s senior analyst, Nan Jacques Zilberdik.
The graphic content aims to incite violence and glorify murder,” Zilberdik explains. “TikTok is a social network popular among children, so there is no doubting the target audience for this is Palestinian youngsters. It’s goal is to indoctrinate and the message is clear – whatever your chosen method, if you kill an Israeli, you too can become a hero.”
