Kuwaiti Islamic scholar and Muslim Brotherhood leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan discussed the October 7 attack on Israel in a November 15, 2023 Al-Minassa podcast episode. He said that all Israeli are soldiers, that they are criminals, and deserve to be killed and expelled for plundering the land. Al-Suwaidan added that Israeli women should be taken captive, because they are soldiers and are not innocent, except for the disabled women. He added that the Jews influence world governments through their control of the media and money in the world. Al-Suwaidan suggested that people read his book The Jews – Illustrated Encyclopedia, which demonstrates that 80% of the media outlets in the world are owned by the Jews directly and the rest indirectly.
Tareq Al-Suwaidan: "There are no civilians in Israel. Neither men nor women – there are no civilians. According to the Israeli military system, they are all soldiers, who take an 11-month break every year, in order to work. They return [to the army] when they are summoned. We are talking about soldiers here, not about innocent people.
"Should women be taken captive? Yes, of course. If God forbid, Oman is attacked by women, would you not take women captive? What kind of mentality is this?
"We draw a distinction between innocent people and criminals, and between combatants and civilians. The [Israelis] are criminals and they deserve to be killed, because, first of all they came and plundered the land. For this alone, they deserve to be killed and to be expelled by force. In addition, they fought us. They committed two major crimes, in addition to their endless smaller crimes. So you cannot claim that they are just women. There are no Israeli women who are innocent, with the exception of disabled women.

"Who is making the decisions in the West? The people or the government? The government."
Interviewer: "Correct."
Al-Suwaidan: "Who gives rise to these governments? The money and the media. Who owns the money and the media?"
Interviewer: "The Jews…"
Al-Suwaidan: "The money and the media... This should be clear. I wrote about this in detail, in my book The Jews – Illustrated Encyclopedia. I wrote which media outlets owned by the Jews. Go, read it. All the media outlets... Eighty precent of the media outlets in the West are owned directly by the Jews, and remaining 20% are owned by them indirectly."
