One of the classic antisemitic libels is that Jews will do anything for money. This old libel was propagated recently on official Palestinian Authority TV by a PA advisor. He spouted that since Jews have no religious connection to the land, they were enticed to come to Israel with the promise of higher salaries than in the West (spoiler: salaries are not higher in Israel).
This is part of the PA's ongoing denial of the history of the Land of Israel in order to deny Israel's right to exist. Put simply, the PA says that Jews came to Israel not because of the right to self-determination in their historical homeland, but because they just wanted money:
Morrar is using classic Antisemitism to dismiss thousands of years of Jewish religious, historical, and cultural history and ties to the Land of Israel while perpetuating the lie that Jews are a foreign, invasive force. This comes as no surprise considering the way PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas himself has explained Hitler's hatred as the result of Jews having "worked based on usury and money—in other words, they caused ruin in his opinion." Morrar's libel is just another attempt to use ancient antisemitic hate to justify modern political narratives aimed at delegitimizing Israel.
