Palestinian father celebrates the death of his family as “Martyrs,” hands out candy
- "Our sons and daughters are dead. And we want to die now”
A Palestinian man handed out sweets following the death of his sons and daughters and shouted: "There is no God but Allah" and "Allahu Akbar" - “Allah is greatest.”
He is yet another product of decades of PA education and brainwashing of Palestinians to see death as a “Martyr” for Allah as an ideal and a higher goal.
This Palestinian man just lost his wife and children, yet he is handing out candy “for the souls of the Martyrs,” while praising Allah.
As Palestinian Media Watch has reported, Palestinian kids play “the Martyr game,” carrying each other around pretending they are dead “Martyrs” and “Allah’s beloved.” For decades they have been told that their destiny is “Martyrdom” and that dying for “Palestine” is better than graduating and “the path to excellence”. Parents have been expected to express joy over losing their children.

Man: "There is no God but Allah, Allahu Akbar! (i.e., “Allah is greatest.”)
We, our sons and daughters are dead. And we [also] want to die now. We want to die now. No uprooting. Do you [Israel] want to attack Al-Shifaa [Hospital]? Attack! … We are carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) from today and forever. This is our land. "
Interviewer: "Why did you distribute candies?"
Man: "Because all my children and my wife died as Martyrs. I have only one son left… These are candies for the souls of the Martyrs."
