Webloggin » Teaching Children To Blow Themselves Up

The new weapon for Hamas, Hezbollah and others is their children. I’m not talking about adult children either, I’m talking about toddlers, just babies in my eyes. The Hamas-run Al-Fateh.net glorifies shahada, martyrdom, and presents the deaths of terrorists attacking Israelis as a time of celebration, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch. Hamas has launched a new website to encourage kids to become martyrs. Read the article here.

The following is from my friend Chad at In The Bullpen.

According to the MEMRI blog, a Hamas affiliated forum has published the picture seen at right of a little girl in combat fatigues. The forum posters boast this little girl is a “new child martyr who will soon shake Israel [to the core].”

But the depths of depravity hardly stop there. The forum posters contend this girl is part of a new breed of Palestinian children who are raised to fight Israel. Naturally, this doesn’t actually shock me any.

This new generation “is part of the Muslim generation which will go down in history [as a generation]… that refused to [accept] humiliation and defeat.”

Yep, Hamas wants peace. Well, the party might, but their followers only want to send their children to murder and maim. And besides, isn’t telling a child they have nothing to live for but death enough “humiliation and defeat?”

From the "Stories of the Shahids" section of the Hamas website, there is this poem:

We Rose Up
We rose up against the thieves
We rose up against [them], and we shall never surrender
We will rise up in determination, like our ancestors
We will sacrifice, sacrifice our lives

Our father’s bidding has taught us
That Jihad is the eternal path
And that the oppressors will be defeated…
We have become devoted and we will never surrender
One day we will defeat all the invaders
We bless and honor the proud
The blood of the shahid has taught us
That Shahada is a new life
O Allah, bless the steps of the rebels
Indeed, Shahada is an open victory (read more)
