The joy of killing Jews was expressed by jihadist foreign fighter Omar Shehadeh, originally from the Czech Republic

Omar Shehadeh, originally from the Czech Republic, fought in the jihadist group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham in the second half of the second decade of the twenty-first century. He was later convicted in absentia for participating in the activities of the terrorist group. In a message to his mother in the Czech Republic on January 27, he asked her questions about Palestine: "Don't you want someone to expel the Jews? If wdon't do it, who would do it... When you see someone fighting and killing Jews on TV, aren't you happy?" The case shows the anti-Semitic mindset of jihadist fighters, which relatives in the Czech Republic also report.
