Schoolgirl praises Oct. 7: They “captured more than 150 and killed 1,000 Israelis… the Jihad fighters are still crafting the most magnificent, heroic tales”
At a PA school, girls praised the Oct. 7 killings and hostage-taking as heroic jihad and called for more Israeli deaths.
PA schoolgirl 1: "The Al-Aqsa Flood (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 attack) – which the Palestinian resistance [Hamas] launched against the Israeli occupation: The Palestinian resistance surprised the occupation with a simultaneous air, land, and sea attack, and managed to capture more than 150 Israelis so far, and kill a thousand Israelis as of these moments...
PA schoolgirl 2: "Blessings and peace to the commander of the fighters... who said: 'I long to raid for Allah and be killed, then raid and be killed, then raid and be killed'... Your brothers, the Jihad fighters and those resisting (i.e., terrorists), are still crafting the most magnificent, heroic tales.
[They] create the greatest acts of heroism, and shatter the arrogance of this criminal enemy (i.e., Israel), who could not confront the men, and whose soldiers fled and hid like rats, [while] our men hunted them and trampled them underfoot.
The Al-Aqsa Flood will not stop except with their departure with Allah's help.
Kill [me], tear me [to pieces] and drown me in my blood – you will not live on my land, nor fly in my skies."
PA schoolgirl 3: "[Palestine, be patient, for] there is a time for victory.
If you don't win today, wait for tomorrow, fate promises victory to the Jihad fighter who sees death [as preferable] to living in humiliation and servitude.
If the sword does not assist him, he assists himself with courage...
They (i.e., Israelis) want continuous control over Palestine...
To Judaize it [Palestine] they employ every trick, but its faith refuses to be Judaized.
[All] they have from Palestine are the graves, and its land has never been a place of rest and abode for the impure.
We have set for them mourning and funerals in succession, that when one ends – another follows."
