Cartoon glorifies teen terrorist “Martyr” as highest achieving
Cartoon published in the official PA daily celebrates teen's Martyrdom.
Text on cartoon: “Will the successful one [strikethrough in source] the revolutionary raise his hand” (i.e., a 17-year-old's being killed as a revolutionary is preferable to a successful life).
Text on tombstone: “Martyr Majdi Ar’arawi"
"He achieved the most respected shahada." (i.e., A play on words, “shahada” in Arabic means both 'Martyrdom Death for Allah' and “certificate,” as in a high school diploma; the message is that 17-year-old Ar’arawi who succeeded in his high school matriculation exams received and even more respectable Shahada - Death for Allah.)
