English original
You heard about all of our brothers and sisters. All of those, they stand for the truth. They target them. They kill them. But their words, as I said, as he said to all on the media, and you may heard it, when Yahya, and you know what the meaning of Yahya? The continuous life. ... So I pray to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to grant all of this shahada to those they wish it. And as you heard him saying, that they will give me a gift. They will kill me by a rocket or a plane. And he did, and he passed where he facing his enemy. And he, as he state, he's a fifty-nine years old leaving to Allah, and he left. So I pray to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to grant victory to all the Muslims.

Antisemitic conspiracyAntisemitic Anti-Zionism
English translation...with superiority, and that they are God's chosen people, and that those beneath them among mankind and worshippers were only created to serve them - this is what their distorted scriptures state. So we ask God, blessed and exalted, to protect us from their evil and to protect us from their treachery. O Lord of the Worlds, place humiliation and lowliness upon them.
