Fatah and Hamas – identical child Martyrdom promotion

• Hamas broadcasts boy: “We want to die as Martyrs. I’m not afraid, I want to die as a Martyr.”
   
• PA broadcasts father: “Praise Allah, of course, he [my son] asked for Martyrdom, and praise Allah he received it.”

Speaking through the mouth of a young boy from the Gaza Strip, Hamas sent this message to Palestinians:

Boy: “We are the generation of the future. We’ll wave the flags of Jihad in Palestine and liberate it. We stand firm on our land and remain in the Bureij refugee camp despite the Israeli occupation’s threats (i.e., Israeli warnings to evacuate combat zones in Gaza). We’ll not leave our land, we’re remaining in our homes… We stand firm on our land, and if the occupation (i.e., Israel) approaches us, we’ll resist. We want to resist, even if they shoot us. We want to die as Martyrs. I’m not afraid, I want to die as a Martyr, that’s fine. We salute the resistance in Palestine.”

The PA message is not different, as Palestinian Media Watch has exposed for decades. In this recent PA TV broadcast, two fathers express appreciation and happiness with their sons’ Martyrdom-deaths. One even says that more will follow, because when one dies as a Martyr, “10 grow [in his place]”:

Samer Jaber, father of terrorist Mahmoud Jaber: “Praise Allah, of course he [my son Mahmoud] asked for Martyrdom, and praise Allah he received it.”

Fathi Abu Zahra, father of terrorist As’ad Abu Zahra: “Let the Zionist entity always know: They kill one, 10 grow [in his place]. We are all a sacrifice for Palestine, everything is for my homeland. Palestine is very precious to us and we will give for it, we need to give for it, and we want to give for it so that it will be liberated, Almighty Allah willing.”
