Be a suicide bomber and "celebrate" with virgins in Paradise - the ideal promoted in PA TV music video

Death as a suicide bomber with a Martyr’s wedding to virgins of Paradise presented as an ideal to yearn for, in PA TV music video
 
Lyrics: "Al-Aqsa has called, and its call is precious
For its sake, life is insignificant, even if it’s precious...
God, grant us Martyrdom there
God, promise us, we beg of you…
A million grooms and brides at the celebration
Have written the marriage contract in blood on the veil"

Visual: Suicide bomber Wafa Idris – She blew herself up in Jerusalem, murdering 1 and wounding over 100

"A million grooms and brides at the celebration
Have written the marriage contract in blood on the veil"

Visual: Suicide bomber Ayyat Al-Akhras – She blew herself up in Jerusalem, murdering 2 and wounding 28 

"Filled with desire, they are going to the Paradise of immortals
To a wedding procession with angels that fill Palestine with light."
