Hamas terrorists are “heroic Jihad fighters” in schoolgirl’s speech praising Oct. 7 attack on Israel
A PA school had students praise Hamas' Oct. 7 attackers as "heroic Jihad fighters" and pray for their success, turning the massacre into a model of religious heroism.
PA schoolgirl: "Gaza, land of pride and honor!
How sweet is the taste glory when it reaches you from the Gaza Flood(i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack against Israel), for Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque!
It [the glory] made the Jihad fighters shine, and disappointed the attacking occupiers (i.e., Israelis)!
Accompany them (i.e., Hamas terrorists) with your prayers!
O Allah, we entrust to You our heroic Jihad fighters and Ribat fighters in Palestine."
PA schoolchildren: "Amen!"

The term "Ribat fighters" refers to the Islamic concept of Ribat, which describes a religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic. The PA sees the conflict with Israel as being in Ribat, and consider all the land of the State of Israel as Islamic land that should be liberated.
