“Not at all, Jews”

The leader of the Islamic State threatened Israel and Jews in a taped message that is said to be from him.

“The Jews thought we forgot Palestine and that they had distracted us from it,” says Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on the taped message.

“Not at all, Jews. We did not forget Palestine for a moment. With the help of Allah, we will not forget it,” said al-Baghdadi in the message which was released on Saturday.

 “The pioneers of the jihadist fighters will surround you on a day that you think is distant and we know is close. We are getting closer every day.

“You will never find comfort in Palestine, Jews. Palestine will not be your land or your home, but it will be a graveyard for you. Allah has gathered you in Palestine so that the Muslims may kill you.”

This is not the first time that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has threatened Jews. In a video released last month by ISIS, the group threatened to wage war against the Jewish people.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is nicknamed “the invisible sheikh” – which goes back to July 2014 when the bearded and black-robed al-Baghdadi appeared in a video for the first time, delivering a sermon.

Prior to that there were only two confirmed photos of him and even his own fighters reportedly do not speak to him without the leader wearing a mask to hide himself.
