The following report was published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) on Thursday, the day following the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans:
At a November 17, 2023 youth committee program in the Islamic Center of Greater Houston (ICHG) — Masjid Bilal, where reportedly New Orleans attacker Shamsud Din Jabbar was a member, Imam Eiad Soudan discussed the history of Palestine.
He said that the Jews, whom he referred to as the “Israelites,” seek to take control of the economy wherever they go, and this is the reason that Hitler, whom he said had a “nice moustache,” killed them.
He added Hitler had not only killed Jews, but also thousands of Muslims. Soudan also said that Europeans support Israelis today because they fear the Jews will return to their countries.
He further added a verse from the Quran according to which the Israelites seek to spread corruption.
The video was posted on YouTube on November 25, 2023.

Excerpts from Soudan’s remarks follow —
Eid Soudan: “Imagine, in Europe, what was happening to the Israelites there? As we said, [Jews were] killed, destroyed, persecuted, the question is why? Why were they treated this way? And why does the whole world today support them? Why does the whole world want them to stay in Palestine?”
“Because if they don’t stay in Palestine, they will go back to their countries, and those people, unfortunately, have one problem — well, they have many problems, but that’s one of the main problems — they like to take control of the economy. Everywhere they go, whatever is the rule, as long as they get to the goal, the means don’t matter. Interest, usuary is prohibited for them.”
“Still they use it to get control of the economy. That is why the other countries don’t want them back. So when they support them, they are not supporting them because they love them. It’s like: ‘Please stay there, we’ll do whatever [it takes], stay there, don’t come back.'”
“Allah told that in the Quran: ‘And they spread corruption across the land, and Allah does not like corrupters.’ They seek corruption in the land.”
“In the First World War — Germany won or lost? Lost. Until this guy, Hitler, with the nice moustache, came to power, and we all know what he did. By the way, Hitler hated the Israelites so bad because of the economy thing, they were in control of the economy, but not only that, they used to consider them a lower level of citizens. They used to believe that German blood is above every other blood. Hitler did not only kill many of the Israelites, by the way.”
“So those who say that only the Israelites paid the price [in WWII] — everybody paid the price, they say thousands of Muslims were killed.”
