IS calls on Palestinians to slaughter Jews

Last night, IS (Islamic State) released a video under the title "Slaughter of the Jews". The clip appears to represent an attempt by IS to recruit Palestinians to its ranks, and to direct those prepared to carry out attacks on Israelis. In seven short clips filmed in northern Iraq and in Syria, members of the organization call on the Palestinians to swear allegiance to their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and in effect to become soldiers of the Islamic State.
