The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office on Wednesday filed an indictment with the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court against Muslim preacher, Omar Abu Saara for incitement to violence in a Temple Mount speech, including saying, "I say to the Jews explicitly, the time has come to slaughter you."
Saara, 49 and a resident of east Jerusalem, went on to say a number of other statements inciting to violence against Jews, said the indictment.
Saara also allegedly said, "the time has come to go to war with you, the time has come to kill you. And we, with god's help, will destroy you, we, the Muslims, the correct ones, the faithful and the soldiers of the Islamic Caliphate will arrive to the land to free it from your dirtying, and today this is close by."
He continued saying, "so go on and do what you want for now" and "now you have the power," while eventually returning multiple times to the idea and terminology of slaughtering Jews, according to the indictment.
The indictment stated that the speech was given on November 28 in the al-Kabali Mosque and led to calls of support from the worshipers attending.
Saara had himself videotaped and uploaded the video to youtube the next day, the indictment said.
He was also charged with a variety of other incitement and racism-related charges.
Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein personally approved the indictment and the state has asked to remand Saara to at least partial conditions of detention.
