<p>Palestinian Authority TV has broadcast a fourth child reciting a poem with the words, &#8220;Our enemy, Zion, is Satan with a tail.&#8221; Last year, the PA Ministry of Culture also invited the Egyptian poet Hesham El-Gakh, who wrote the poem, to perform it on stage at a cultural event at which the PA <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9797">gave him an award</a>. At the ceremony, a young girl also recited the stanza from the poem that &#8220;Zion, is Satan with a tail.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://palwatch.org/">Palestinian Media Watch</a> has documented three other PA TV broadcasts of children <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9737">reciting this poem</a>.</p>
<p>During the recent TV broadcast, the boy introduced the poem by saying it is a very popular poem, that he is often asked to recite:<br />
<b></b></p>
<p><b>PA TV host:</b></p>
<p>&#8220;What poem do you like to recite most?&#8221;</p>
<p>Muhammad, creative boy who writes and recites poetry:<br />
&#8220;The poem people liked the best, wherever I went, people asked me to recite the poem &#8216;Visa&#8217; by Hesham El-Gakh&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8216;When I was young I was taught that Arabness is my honor&#8230;<br />
and that our lands extend from one end to the other,<br />
and that our wars were for the Al-Aqsa Mosque,<br />
and that our enemy, Zion, is Satan with a tail<br />
and that our nation&#8217;s armies are outstanding.&#8217;&#8221;<br />
[Official PA TV, May 13 and 14, 2014]</p>

<p>The poem by the Egyptian poet describes what children have been taught by Arab leaders. It opens, &#8220;When I was young I was taught&#8230;&#8221;, but criticizes Arab leaders for not acting according to their own teachings. &#8220;My enemy, Zion, is Satan with a tail,&#8221; is one such teaching, the poem states. The poet criticizes the Arab world for its lack of unity, which prevents it from fulfilling the goals it has set.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Israel's "peace partners" in their own words. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><strong>Visit <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=11379">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</strong></p>
<p align="left">Even at the height of the peace negotiations with Israel, in December 2013, Fatah official Tawfiq Tirawi said that Palestinians were not committed to non-violence. Rather, he said that negotiations are just one option, and do not preclude use of the &#8220;rifle,&#8221; which the Palestinians have never abandoned.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RAdJHcNUdMQ" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p align="left">Last week, <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/" target="_blank" shape="rect">Palestinian Media Watch</a> reported that Tirawi had essentially proclaimed the end of the peace process, saying that &#8220;<a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=11319" target="_blank" shape="rect">the two-state solution does not exist</a>.&#8221; He further called for Israel&#8217;s destruction, asserting that &#8220;Palestine is Gaza&#8230; the West Bank&#8230; and Haifa, Jaffa, Acre,&#8221; meaning all of Israel is &#8220;Palestine.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">In his earlier statement, Tirawi made it clear that violence, killing and Martyrdom are the keys to Palestinian future success. &#8220;Not a centimeter of Jerusalem will be liberated unless every grain of Palestinian soil is soaked in the blood of its brave people,&#8221; Tirawi stated at an event marking World Teachers&#8217; Day in December 2013. &#8220;Negotiations will not bring Jerusalem back to us,&#8221; he continued, explaining that Palestinians before &#8220;have conducted negotiations, while not laying down the rifle&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">&#8220;I say, from a position of responsibility, not a centimeter of Jerusalem will be liberated unless every grain of Palestinian soil is soaked in the blood of its brave people. For Jerusalem doesn&#8217;t need negotiations, because negotiations will not bring Jerusalem back to us. What will bring back Jerusalem are the struggle and the resolve&#8230; We have conducted negotiations, while not laying down the rifle. It [the rifle] may be resting but we will not neglect our principles. We will rest the fighter&#8217;s rest, but each period has its method of struggle.&#8221;</p>
<div align="right">[Official PA TV Live, Dec. 19, 2013]</div>

<p align="left">PMW has documented the PA and Fatah&#8217;s principle of <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=462" target="_blank" shape="rect">alternating violence with diplomacy</a>as a means to achieve political results. Tirawi&#8217;s statement that Palestinians &#8220;will rest the fighter&#8217;s rest, but each period has its method of struggle,&#8221; reflects this policy.</p>
<p align="left">The official PA daily similarly reported that Tirawi has stated that</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">&#8220;the [Fatah] movement has not, and will not, lay down its weapons until the national goals of the Palestinians are achieved&#8230; [Fatah] has used a variety of means, including military struggle, popular struggle, diplomatic activity at the UN and negotiations, to achieve these goals.&#8221; [<em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>, Feb. 2, 2014]</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">In August 2013, right after the negotiations with Israel began, Tirawi likewise stated on Lebanese TV that armed struggle is as valid an option as negotiations:</p>
<p>&#8220;There are many options we could turn to, beginning with resistance by political confrontation, [resistance] by stones, and ending with armed struggle and everything in between.&#8221; [Al-Mayadeen TV (Lebanon), Aug. 13, 2013]</p>
<p>He added that &#8220;the principle of armed struggle should not be abandoned,&#8221; and addressed those who have criticized Fatah for doing so:</p>
<p>&#8220;I would also like to say to all who say that the Fatah Movement has cast away the rifle: This is not true.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Then, at the outset of the peace negotiations, Tirawi also reiterated the principle of alternating between the use of violence and diplomacy:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">&#8220;[At] the sixth Fatah Conference [August 2009] the Fatah Movement approved all the resistance options, including the armed struggle. Nonetheless, sometimes there are circumstances, factors and situations when the time is perhaps not right for this type of struggle. Maybe in other months a different type of struggle will be suitable.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left"><em><strong>The following are longer excerpts of Tirawi and Sahwil&#8217;s statements:</strong></em></p>
<p align="left"><em>Official PA TV Live broadcast the main event marking World Teachers&#8217; Day in Bethlehem. Several PA officials attended the event: PA Minister of Education Ali Zaidan (Abu Zuhri), Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi, Advisor to PA Chairman Abbas on NGOs and Member of Fatah Central Committee Sultan Abu Al-Einein, District Governor of Bethlehem Abd Al-Fattah Hamayel and Director of the Bethlehem Education Administration Nisreen Yasser Amr.</em></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><strong><br />
Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;I say, from a position of responsibility, not a centimeter of Jerusalem will be liberated unless every grain of Palestinian soil is soaked in the blood of its brave people. For Jerusalem doesn&#8217;t need negotiations, because negotiations will not bring Jerusalem back to us. What will bring back Jerusalem are the struggle and the resolve&#8230; We have conducted negotiations, while not laying down the rifle. It [the rifle] may be resting but we will not neglect our principles. We will rest the fighter&#8217;s rest, but each period has its method of struggle. From fighting to Intifada, to popular resistance, to negotiations &#8211; but we will not abandon [our principles] &#8211; not in negotiations and not in any other way. I say, from a position of responsibility, the negotiations resulted in nothing except for the [release of the] prisoners.&#8221;<br />
	                 [Official PA TV Live, Dec. 19, 2013]
</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV host:</strong> &#8220;Tawfiq Al-Tirawi, the truth is, we&#8217;re talking today about the July Victory (i.e., the Second Lebanon War). You said that you&#8217;re opposed to the current negotiations. What other option do the Palestinian people or Palestinian leaders have apart from negotiating? Do they have other options?&#8221;</p>
<p align="left"><strong>Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Al-Tirawi:</strong> &#8220;Of course. Look, brother, despite all the circumstances, someone who wants to lead a nation under occupation must always create options, and make all the existing calculations. <strong>There are many options we could turn to, beginning with resistance by political confrontation, [resistance] by stones, and ending with armed struggle and everything in between.</strong> I wish to say that given the current balance of power and the current factors, <strong>the principle of armed struggle should not be abandoned, nor should the principle of resistance [be abandoned]. I would also like to say to all who say that the Fatah Movement has cast away the rifle: This is not true.</strong></p>
<p align="left">In the political guidelines [determined] in the sixth Fatah Conference [August 2009] held in Bethlehem, <strong>the Fatah Movement approved all the resistance options, including the armed struggle. Nonetheless, sometimes there are circumstances, factors and situations when the time is perhaps not right for this type of struggle.</strong> Maybe in other months a different type of struggle will be suitable. The important thing is for the struggle to remain, and for us to be engaged in constant activity against this occupation, until it ends&#8230; The other point I would like to say is that the Israelis say that Beit El and Ma&#8217;ale Adumim are Israeli areas, but we also haven&#8217;t forgotten that Haifa, Jaffa, Acre and Nazareth are Palestinian and will remain Palestinian forever&#8230; The last war in 2008 (i.e., Israel&#8217;s Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip from December 2008-January 2009 with the aim of stopping Hamas&#8217; launching of rockets into Israel.) and the bombing of Tel Aviv (i.e., reference to Hamas and Islamic Jihad&#8217;s rockets hitting near Tel Aviv in 2012), <strong>I salute the Islamic Jihad, because the Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa [Martyrs'] Brigades and all the Palestinian resistance brigades</strong>, their role was more central than the Hamas Movement&#8217;s role&#8230;</p>
<p align="left">[Hamas leader] Khaled Mashaal said in an official statement: &#8216;We authorize Mahmud Abbas to negotiate for a period of one year,&#8217; while<strong> I, your humble servant sitting before you, named Tawfiq Tirawi, oppose negotiations and I am from the Fatah Movement</strong> and am proud to be from the Fatah Movement.<strong> Don&#8217;t come and say &#8216;They [Fatah] sold the [Palestinian] cause and gave it away,</strong> etc.&#8217; I&#8217;m telling you,<strong>there is not a single Palestinian who could sell or barter one grain of Palestine&#8217;s soil, all of historic Palestine. We are under occupation and we will resist.</strong></p>
<p align="left">By resisting, the resistance forces were victorious in Lebanon and in several countries, and we say here: <strong>We will win, Allah willing, with different forms of resistance &#8211; popular resistance, resisting the occupation through political confrontation, resisting it on the international level, as well as armed resistance at any time. We can act in this positive manner for our cause and for our land, Allah willing.</strong>&#8221; (emphasis added.)</p>

<p>The official Palestinian Authority daily reported that the PA and Fatah inaugurated a forest they chose to name after arch-terrorist Abu Jihad: &#8220;The Martyr Abu Jihad Forest.&#8221;</p>
<p><div id="attachment_223442" style="width: 280px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/forestsign.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-223442" alt="forestsign" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/forestsign-450x337.jpg" width="270" height="202" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sign at the entrance to the forest: &#8220;The Al-Shuyoukh Municipality welcomes you to the Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir [Abu Jihad] Forest&#8221; [Official PA TV, March 30, 2014]</p></div>Abu Jihad was a founder of Fatah and deputy to Yasser Arafat. He headed the PLO&#8217;s military wing and planned many deadly terror attacks. These attacks, which according to the official PA daily killed at least <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=6791">125 Israelis</a>, included the most lethal in Israeli history &#8211; the hijacking of a bus and killing of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.palwatch.org/">Palestinian Media Watch</a> has documented that PA Chairman Abbas decorated terrorist Abu Jihad post-mortem a few months ago with &#8220;<a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=10346">the highest order of the Star of Honor</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The inauguration ceremony was attended by several PA officials: Minister of Agriculture Walid Assaf, District Governor of Hebron Kamel Hamid and representatives of the PA Security Forces, as well as several mayors from the Hebron district and relatives of terrorist Abu Jihad, the paper reported.</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Describing the event, the official PA daily reported that &#8220;everyone was asked to protect the forest, in view of its great significance, especially because it bears the name of a leader and symbol, Abu Jihad.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A few days earlier, the writer of an op-ed in the official PA daily referred to terrorist Abu Jihad as &#8220;the spearhead of the bullets of the true resistors, and the first truly upright rock&#8221; and likened his &#8220;influence&#8221; to Mahmoud Darwish, who Palestinians consider their national poet, and terrorist Dalal </span>Mughrabi, who carried out the attack planned by Abu Jihad in which 37 were killed:</p>
<blockquote><p><div id="attachment_223444" style="width: 280px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tree.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-223444" alt="tree" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/tree-450x337.jpg" width="270" height="202" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">[Official PA TV, March 30, 2014]</p></div>&#8220;In his actions and influence, he is on a par with, or close to, the symbolism of Yasser Arafat and his <i>keffiyeh</i> (Arab headdress), the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, and the blood of Dalal Mughrabi, Bajes Abu Atwan and others&#8230; Abu Jihad remained [active] on the ground from the start of his Jihadist activity in 1955 until his Martyrdom in 1988. He was the spearhead of the bullets of the true resistors, and the first truly upright rock.&#8221; [<i>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</i>, March 29, 2014]</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">In the forest honoring Abu Jihad, the PA erected a monument with logos of the PA Ministry of Agriculture and the Municipality of Al-Shuyoukh and with the following text:</span></p>

<p><b style="line-height: 1.5em;"><i>The following are longer excerpts of the reports about the forest named after terrorist Abu Jihad: </i></b></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#8220;Fatah&#8217;s northern Hebron branch took part&#8230; in the inauguration [ceremony] of the Martyr (</span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Shahid</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">) Abu Jihad Forest yesterday [March 31, 2014], [which was] attended by the chairwoman of the Families of the Martyrs and Wounded Institution, Intisar Al-Wazir (Abu Jihad&#8217;s widow), Palestine Monetary Authority Director Jihad Al-Wazir (Abu Jihad&#8217;s son), [PA] Minister of Agriculture Walid Assaf, District Governor of Hebron Kamel Hamid, the Mayor of Al-Shuyoukh (a village near Hebron) [Sharif Al-Halaiqa], the mayors [of the communities] in the district and [representatives of] the Security Forces&#8230;</span></p>
<p>Minister of Agriculture [Walid Assaf] and District Governor Kamel Hamid&#8230; praised this achievement (the inauguration), which illustrates the meaning of unification and tenacity and resolve on our land&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>[Palestine] Monetary Authority Director [Jihad Al-Wazir]&#8230; emphasized that he was not addressing the crowd as a member of the Martyr&#8217;s family, because Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir belongs to everyone. [He said:] &#8216;All of you are [Abu Jihad,] Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir&#8217;s children, and he is freedom in the memories and hearts of every one of you&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>After the ceremony, [the participants] turned toward the forest, cut the ribbon and inaugurated it. They also planted trees in the forest, which covers approximately 24 dunams. Everyone was asked to protect the forest, in view of its great significance, especially because it bears the name of a leader and symbol, [Abu Jihad] Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir.&#8221;</p>
<p>[<i>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</i>, April 1, 2014]</p></blockquote>
<p><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Op-ed by Hani Fahs in the official PA daily:</i></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Many times, Abu Jihad made his way into the hearts of fighters in other countries &#8211; from the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the Pattanis in Thailand, to the Iranians, with all their factions and [political] affiliations. I don&#8217;t recall seeing or hearing about them and those like them from anyone besides Abu Jihad. The only times I ever saw them were at his places of work &#8211; from his office to the bases he would insist on visiting and inspecting&#8230; and his sole aim was to help them adhere to the principles of revolution and to recruit them to Palestine&#8217;s side. In this, in his actions and influence, he is on a par with, or close to, the symbolism of Yasser Arafat and his <i>keffiyeh</i> (Arab headdress), the poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, and the blood of Dalal Mughrabi, Bajes Abu Atwan and others&#8230; Abu Jihad remained [active] on the ground from the start of his Jihadist activity in 1955 until his Martyrdom in 1988. He was the spearhead of the bullets of the true resistors, and the first truly upright rock.&#8221;</p>

<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ZyxsdojrXwE" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Official PA TV News reported that Abbas, in order &#8220;to honor the founding leaders and the first generation of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO, and out of loyalty to their history of struggle,&#8221; chose to decorate Abu Jihad with &#8220;the highest order of the Star of Honor.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the ceremony, Abbas handed the award to Abu Jihad&#8217;s wife. Secretary-General of the Presidential Office Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim read aloud the &#8220;decree&#8221; signed by Abbas, calling terrorist Abu Jihad &#8220;the model of a true fighter and devoted leader,&#8221; and praising him for &#8220;his honorable national role&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Abu Jihad shall be granted the highest order of the Star of Honor in recognition of his honorable national role and his history of struggle as one of the founding leaders of the Palestinian revolution, and out of great appreciation for his high position and significance in the defense of Palestine as a country, a nation, and a cause. He was the model of a true fighter and devoted leader [and] through his commitment and contribution he left his mark on the history of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://www.palwatch.org/">Palestinian Media Watch</a> reported in July 2013 that Abbas <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9294">decorated another terrorist</a> leader with the Star of Honor. The recipient was Nayef Hawatmeh, the leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The DFLP carried out many deadly terror attacks in the 1970s and has also participated in and claimed responsibility for dozens of other terror attacks, including a suicide bombing near Tel Aviv that killed 4 people in 2003.</p>
<p>Former PA PM Salam Fayyad was also among this year&#8217;s recipients of the Star of Honor.</p>
<p>The glorification of arch-terrorist Abu Jihad is a long-standing PA and Fatah policy. Every year in April, the anniversary of Abu Jihad&#8217;s death is marked with numerous events and ceremonies held in his honor.</p>
<p>This year, PMW reported that the official PA news agency <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8893">WAFA lauded Abu Jihad</a> as a killer of 125, listing all the terror attacks he planned and directed, specifying the number of murdered:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Abu Jihad was killed by the Israeli Mossad in Tunisia on April 16, 1988&#8230; and was crowned the Prince of the Martyrs of Palestine&#8230; Among the military operations planned by Abu Jihad: the explosion at the Zohar reservoir in 1955; the operation to blow up the Israeli National Water Carrier in 1965; the operation at the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv, which killed 10 Israelis, in 1975; the blowing up of a truck bomb in Jerusalem in 1975; the killing of Albert Levi, the senior sapper, and his assistant, in Nablus in 1976; the Dalal Mughrabi operation (i.e., bus hijacking), in which more than 37 Israelis were killed, in 1978; the shelling of the Eilat Port in 1979; the Katyusha fire on the northern settlements [in Israel] in 1981&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>[WAFA and <i>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</i>, April 16, 2013]</p></blockquote>
<p>At a Fatah event in January this year, Abbas praised Abu Jihad and other terrorists who killed hundreds as &#8220;the blessed Martyrs&#8221; and &#8220;the <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=709&amp;fld_id=709&amp;doc_id=9297">leaders</a> of all the fighting forces&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We renew the promise to our blessed Martyrs, that we will follow the path of the Martyr Brother Yasser Arafat and his comrades among the leaders of all the fighting forces, all the Martyrs. Among them, I mention Martyr Abu Jihad&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Private organizations also follow the lead of the PA and glorify terrorist Abu Jihad, such as sports organizations that name their activities and tournaments after him. This year the Palestinian <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=448&amp;doc_id=8923">Association for Martial Arts</a> held &#8220;its first Prince of Martyrs [Abu Jihad] festival&#8221; and the <a href="http://palwatch.org/pages/news_archive.aspx?doc_id=8836">Palestinian Boxing Association</a> held &#8220;The Martyr Abu Jihad Tournament.&#8221;</p>

<p><b><i>The following is the report on official PA TV News on Abbas&#8217; decoration of terrorist Abu Jihad with the Star of Honor:</i></b></p>
<blockquote><p><b>PA TV newsreader:</b> &#8220;As part of President [Abbas]&#8216; desire to honor the founding leaders and the first generation of the Palestinian revolution and the PLO, and out of loyalty to their history of struggle, the President &#8211; with a number of Fatah Central Committee members &#8211; awarded the highest order of the Star of Honor to the Martyr leader Khalil Al-Wazir, Abu Jihad&#8230;The award was accepted by [his wife] Mrs. Um Jihad and family.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Secretary-General of the Presidential Office Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim:</b> &#8220;As President of Palestine and Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee, by the authority vested in us, and for the public good, we have decreed the following: Paragraph One: Martyr leader Khalil Al-Wazir Abu Jihad shall be granted the highest order of the Star of Honor in recognition of his honorable national role and his history of struggle as one of the founding leaders of the Palestinian revolution, and out of great appreciation for his high position and significance in the defense of Palestine as a country, a nation, and a cause.

<p><i>Note: Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir) was a founder of Fatah and deputy to Yasser Arafat.

<p>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9838">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</p>
<p>Two female suicide bombers who together killed 3 and wounded more than 130 are being presented by Fatah as great role models worthy of admiration.</p>
<p>Recently, the administrator of one of Fatah&#8217;s official Facebook pages posted a picture of terrorist Wafa Idris with the words, &#8220;Palestine&#8217;s illustrious women.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/zainab_abu_salem_FB.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-206729" alt="zainab_abu_salem_FB" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/zainab_abu_salem_FB.jpg" width="302" height="250" /></a>A few days later, the same Fatah page glorified female suicide bomber Zainab Abu Salem as &#8220;the 18 year-old heroic female Martyrdom-seeker.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following <a href="http://palwatch.org/"><b>Palestinian Media Watch</b></a>&#8216;s exposure last week that Fatah used this Facebook page to glorify the <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9827"><b>terrorist shooter of a 9 year-old</b></a> girl, the post was removed from Fatah&#8217;s official Facebook page. However, the posts praising the two female suicide bombers still remain.</p>
<p>The text honoring terrorist Zainab Abu Salem describes her terror attack and how she &#8220;immediately blew herself up&#8221; when an Israeli Border Policeman wanted to check her bag. And as if assigning a pious and holy quality to her terror attack, the administrator also notes how she &#8220;wore a hijab (religious headscarf) and when she blew herself up, the hijab didn&#8217;t leave her head.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zainab Abu Salem carried out a suicide attack at the French Hill junction in Jerusalem (Sept. 22, 2004). Two Israeli Border Policemen were killed and 30 people were wounded.</p>
<p>Wafa Idris was the first Palestinian female suicide bomber. She killed one and injured over 100 in her attack in central Jerusalem in 2002. As a volunteer for the Palestinian Red Crescent, she was able to bypass Israeli security and enter Jerusalem in a Palestinian ambulance.</p>
<p>PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is also Chairman of Fatah.</p>
<p>PMW has documented that Fatah <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8319"><b>repeatedly uses</b></a> its official Facebook page to glorify <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8762"><b>suicide terrorists</b></a> and other terrorists who have <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=9435"><b>killed Israeli civilians</b></a>.</p>
<p><b><i>The following are the posts from Fatah&#8217;s official Facebook page glorifying the suicide bombers:</i></b></p>
<p><b><i>Fatah glorification of terrorist Zainab Abu Salem:</i></b></p>
<blockquote><p><b>Text:</b></p>
<p>&#8220;The eighth anniversary of [the death] of the female Martyrdom-seeker Zainab Abu Salem. Today, Sunday, Sept. 22, is the anniversary of the [death] of 18 year-old heroic female Martyrdom-seeker Zainab Abu Salem.</p>
<p>The female Martyrdom-seeker lived in the Askar refugee camp in the city of Nablus and belonged to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs&#8217; Brigades, Fatah&#8217;s military wing. When she died a Martyr she was determined to do a deed only a few knew about in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs&#8217; Brigades. When she arrived at the bus stop in the French Hill settlement neighborhood in East Jerusalem, an [Israeli] Border Police soldier approached her to inspect her bag and she immediately blew herself up. She wore a <i>hijab</i> (religious headscarf) and when she blew herself up, the <i>hijab</i> didn&#8217;t leave her head. She killed two soldiers and wounded 17, three of them seriously.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8881">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Recently, an Israeli father of five Evyatar Borovsky was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist at the Tapuach Junction, north east of the Israeli city Ariel and south of the Palestinian city Nablus in the West Bank.</p>
<p>Fatah&#8217;s Facebook page is celebrating the murder and glorifying the murderer. Pictures of the terrorist and the victim were posted by Fatah&#8217;s Facebook administrator and the text calls the murderer: &#8220;The hero, the released prisoner, Salam Al-Zaghal.&#8221;</p>
<p>The following are the texts and pictures from Fatah&#8217;s Facebook page celebrating the murder:<a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/praise-for-killer-of-Israeli-english-30042013.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-187865 alignright" alt="praise for killer of Israeli english, 30042013" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/praise-for-killer-of-Israeli-english-30042013-249x350.jpg" width="199" height="280" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/itamar-marcus-and-nan-jacques-zilberdik/religious-hate-speech-for-children-on-palestinian-tv/picture-8-32/" rel="attachment wp-att-184293"><img class=" wp-image-184293 alignleft" title="Picture 8" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Picture-8.png" alt="" width="254" height="190" /></a>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8730">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Earlier this month, Palestinian children were taught Islam-based hatred of Jews on the weekly PA TV children&#8217;s show The Best Home. A young girl recited a poem filled with both Islamic hate messages and other libels demonizing Jews. The poem taught Palestinian children that Jews, &#8220;Allah&#8217;s enemies, the sons of pigs,&#8221; defiled the Quran and Jerusalem, both crimes against Islam, and &#8220;murdered children,&#8221; &#8220;cut off their limbs,&#8221; and &#8220;raped the women in the city squares.&#8221; <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/"><strong>Palestinian Media Watch</strong></a> has documented that this weekly PA TV children&#8217;s program teaches <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=6776"><strong>hatred</strong></a> and denial of Israel&#8217;s <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=6843"><strong>existence</strong></a>.</p>

<p>The suggested response to Jews and Zionists offered in this hate poem is military and Islamic:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where is the nation of Islam?<br />
Where are the nation of Islam and the Jihad fighters?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>At the end of the recital of the hate poem, the young program host applauded enthusiastically and said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Bravo, applause, applause, applause to Hadeel.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The poem also included a tribute to Mahmoud Abbas&#8217; Fatah organization and Arafat:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;From between the whistles of the bullets I sing:<br />
&#8216;Long live the nation of Fatah and Yasser Arafat.&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>This Islam-based hatred that in the past was associated exclusively with Hamas is now appearing in mainstream PA children&#8217;s education as well.</p>
<p><strong><em>The following is the text of the hate poem recited by a young girl on PA TV&#8217;s children&#8217;s program:</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Girl:</strong> &#8220;Allah created me and formed me<br />
He made me prouder and made me a Palestinian<br />
He made defiance flow like blood in my veins<br />
And I made the revolution burst forth like clay stones<br />
I raised the flags of certain victory:<br />
Allah&#8217;s book [the Quran] and the tradition of the most esteemed among prophets [Muhammad].<br />
I called in the voice of hidden justice<br />
I lit a fire like volcanoes under their feet<br />
I refused to be submissive and degraded<br />
I rejected [everything] but dying with the honor that will give me life<br />
From a nation that has forgotten the Muslims&#8217; heroism<br />
- Omar ibn al-Khattab and Saladin &#8211; [Muslim fighters who conquered Jerusalem]<br />
from between the whistles of the bullets I sing:<br />
&#8216;Long live the nation of Fatah and Yasser Arafat&#8217;<br />
Allah&#8217;s enemies, the sons of pigs (i.e., Jews, in Islamic tradition)<br />
Destroyed and uprooted the olive and fig trees<br />
They murdered children with guns, like snakes<br />
They cut off their limbs with stones and knives<br />
They raped the women in the city squares<br />
They defiled Allah&#8217;s book [the Quran] in front of millions<br />
Where is the nation of Islam?<br />
Where are the nation of Islam and the Jihad fighters?<br />
Where is the fear of Allah in Jerusalem, which has been defiled by the Zionists?&#8221;<br />
<strong>PA TV host:</strong> &#8220;Bravo, applause, applause, applause to Hadeel.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/itamar-marcus-and-nan-jacques-zilberdik/fatah-praises-proud-mother-of-three-palestinian-terrorists/otuwnzy/" rel="attachment wp-att-182916"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-182916" title="otuwnzy" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/otuwnzy-450x336.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="202" /></a>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8700">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Abbas Zaki, Member of Fatah Central Committee, recently spoke about the death of Hamas MP Um Nidal (Mariam Farahat), referring to her “journey of giving, overflowing with struggle and sacrifice.” PA MP Mustafa Al-Barghouti expressed similar awe for Um Nidal “giving her three heroic sons… for Palestine and for the freedom of the Palestinian people.”</p>
<p>Following that attack, in which Muhammad killed 5 Israeli students, Um Nidal said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I gave my son to Jihad for Allah. It&#8217;s our religious obligation… As much as my living children honor me, it will not be like the honor the Martyr showed me… The greatest honor [my son] showed me was his Martyrdom.”</p></blockquote>

<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5Vi9oNs42hs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Um Nidal was the mother of two other “Martyrs,” as well, all members of Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades. One of the sons, Nidal, invented the Qassam rocket and was killed when explosives he was preparing detonated. The third son, Rawwad, was killed together with three other Hamas terrorists by Israel.</p>
<p>Abbas Zaki in his statement stressed that Um Nidal “sacrificed her three heroic sons Nidal, Muhammad and Rawwad, on the altar of freedom for Palestine”</p>
<p>The following is the transcript of Um Nidal’s statement before and after her son’s attack in 2002:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Um Nidal with her son, Muhammad, who is armed and ready to carry out a terror attack:</strong> &#8220;By Allah, today is the best day of my life. I feel that our Lord is pleased with me, because I am offering something [my son] for Him. I wish to sacrifice more [sons] for Allah&#8217;s forgiveness, and for the flag [of Islam], &#8216;There is no god but Allah,&#8217; to fly over Palestine&#8230;. It&#8217;s true that there&#8217;s nothing more precious than children, but for the sake of Allah – what is precious becomes cheap.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Um Nidal after her son&#8217;s death:</strong> “I gave my son to Jihad for Allah. It&#8217;s our religious obligation. If I wanted to have compassion for him, or to make him change his mind, it would be wrong, a mistake. I don&#8217;t want to be guided by my feelings, a mother&#8217;s feelings. I put them aside for a while for something greater, although a mother&#8217;s feelings are involved. Why? Because I love my son, and I wanted to choose the best for him, and the best is not life in this world. For us there is an Afterlife, the eternal bliss. So if I love my son, I&#8217;ll choose eternal bliss for him. As much as my living children honor me, it will not be like the honor the Martyr showed me. He will be the intercessor on the Day of Resurrection. What more can I ask for? Allah willing, the Lord will promise us Paradise, that&#8217;s the best I can hope for. The greatest honor [my son] showed me was his Martyrdom.”</p>
<p>[Hamas website, 2002]</p></blockquote>
<p>Um Nidal has also expressed how she viewed the <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=662"><strong>kidnapping of Israeli soldiers</strong></a> as “the only solution”:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Disregarding the fact that I&#8217;m a member of Parliament as a Palestinian citizen, by Allah, I don&#8217;t believe in any solution other than one: kidnapping Zionist soldiers.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>PMW documents that the <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=110">PA promotes Martyrdom death</a> for Allah as an ideal and how <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=415#479">parents express joy</a> over their children’s death as Martyrs.</p>
<p><strong><em>The following are excerpts of the statements by Palestinian leaders praising Um Nidal, in the PA daily:</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em>Headline:</em> “Zaki announces the death of fighter Mariam Farahat”</p>
<p>“Abbas Zaki, Member of Fatah Central Committee, and Commissioner of Arab Relations and Relations with China, announced the death of fighter and member of the Palestinian Parliament, Mariam Farahat Um Nidal, whose soul returned to the creator after a journey of giving, overflowing with struggle and sacrifice, during which she sacrificed her three heroic sons Nidal, Muhammad and Rawwad, on the altar of freedom for Palestine. Zaki said that the death of fighter Farahat is ‘a loss for our people, for we have lost one of the acclaimed Palestinian women and one of the resolute fighters of our people.’”</p>
<p>[<em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>, March 18, 2013]</p>
<p><em>Headline:</em> “Al-Barghouti announces the death of fighter Mariam Farahat”</p>
<p>“Mustafa Al-Barghouti, member of the Palestinian Parliament and Secretary-General of the National Initiative Movement, announced the death of fighter and member of the Palestinian Parliament, Mariam Farahat Um Nidal, who died after a life filled with struggle and sacrifice, during which she gave her three heroic sons Nidal, Muhammad and Rawwad as Martyrs (Shahids) for Palestine and for the freedom of the Palestinian people.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/itamar-marcus-and-nan-jacques-zilberdik/the-palestinian-lie-machine-welcomes-obama-defames-america-and-declares-its-love-for-hitler/c7-fatah/" rel="attachment wp-att-182316"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-182316" title="C7 Fatah" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/C7-Fatah.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="198" /></a>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=8684">Palestinian Media Watch</a>. </strong></p>
<p>Two days before US President Barack Obama&#8217;s visit to Israel and the PA, the official PA daily chose to print anti-American hate speech along with pro-Hitler comments in an op-ed:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our history is replete with lies&#8230; [including] the lie about Al-Qaeda and the September 11 events, which asserted that Muslim terrorists committed it, and that it was not an internal American action by the Freemasons.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The op-ed further implies that Hitler was greater than both Churchill and Roosevelt, who were &#8220;alcoholics&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Churchill and Roosevelt were alcoholics, and in their youth were questioned more than once about brawls they started in bars, while Hitler hated alcohol and was not addicted to it. He used to go to sleep early and wake up early, and was very organized. These facts have been turned upside down as well, and Satan has been dressed with angels&#8217; wings.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The PA daily op-ed further asserts that negative attitudes toward Nazism are not objective but the result of the West&#8217;s victory:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Had Hitler won, Nazism would be an honor that people would be competing to belong to, and not a disgrace punishable by law.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.palwatch.org/"><strong>Palestinian Media Watch</strong></a> has documented <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=623"><strong>anti-US messages</strong></a> promoted by the PA. PMW has also documented the PA&#8217;s praise for the <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=818"><strong>September 11 terror attacks</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>The following is a longer excerpt from the op-ed printed in the official PA daily:</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Op-ed by Hassan Ouda Abu Zaher:</em></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;History is a great lie written by the victors&#8217; &#8211; said Napoleon Bonaparte, the source of dubious historical writing and father of Freemasonry in France. If so, is the history planted in us through TV and the standard educational curriculum indeed true? The source of this history is the West &#8211; the victor ever since the fall of Andalusia (Muslim Spain)! &#8230;Our history is replete with lies, from lies about the corrupt [Caliph] Harun Al-Rashid, which ignore the sources indicating that he dedicated one year to pilgrimage [to Mecca] and one year to Jihad (i.e., he was a good Muslim), to the lie about Al-Qaeda and the Sept. 11 events, which asserted that Muslim terrorists committed it, and that it was not an internal American action by the Freemasons, which was mentioned in the Illuminati game cards ten years before it took place, and in over 15 Zionist and Freemason Hollywood-produced films in the 1990s. The method of repeating [the lies] over and over has authenticated false facts. Had Hitler won, Nazism would be an honor that people would be competing to belong to, and not a disgrace punishable by law. Churchill and Roosevelt were alcoholics, and in their youth were questioned more than once about brawls they started in bars, while Hitler hated alcohol and was not addicted to it. He used to go to sleep early and wake up early, and was very organized. These facts have been turned upside down as well, and Satan has been dressed with angels&#8217; wings&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>The Facebook page for Fatah in Lebanon has posted this picture of a mother dressing her young son with a suicide belt. <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/">Palestinian Media Watch</a> has documented the ongoing <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=455">glorification of violence</a> and <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=846">Martyrdom</a> by the PA. This picture was posted on the Fatah Facebook page together with an imaginary conversation between the son who is being sent to his death and the mother encouraging it. &#8220;Why me and not you?&#8221; the child innocently asks his mother, who answers that she will continue to have more children &#8220;for the sake of Palestine&#8221;:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2012/itamar-marcus-and-nan-jacques-zilberdik/palestinian-facebook-page-promotes-child-suicide/final_suicide_belt_picture_facebook/" rel="attachment wp-att-163440"><img class="size-full wp-image-163440 aligncenter" title="final_suicide_belt_picture_facebook" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/final_suicide_belt_picture_facebook.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="264" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;My mother dressed me in a strange belt (i.e., a suicide belt).<br />
I asked her: &#8216;What is this, mother?&#8217;<br />
She said: &#8216;I will put it on you and you will go to your death!&#8217;<br />
I said to her: &#8216;Mother, what have I done that you want me to die?&#8217;<br />
She shed a tear that hurt my heart and said: &#8216;The homeland needs you, son. Go and blow up the sons of Zion.&#8217;<br />
I said to her: &#8216;Why me and not you?&#8217;<br />
She said: &#8216;I will stay in order to give birth to more children for the sake of Palestine.&#8217;<br />
I kissed her hand and said to her: &#8216;Keep it up, mother, for you and for Palestine I will kill the impure and the damned.&#8217;&#8221;<br />

<p>The PA-funded educational magazine for children, <em>Zayzafuna</em>, published an essay earlier this year written by an 11 year-old lauding death as a Martyr:</p>
<p>&#8220;How do you know that you&#8217;re a Palestinian?&#8221;<br />
by Asil Khaled, 5th grade student &#8211; El-Bireh</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8220;If you know that you were born with a death sentence, and if you go to your death without caring &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!</strong><br />
<strong>If your song is the song of Martyrdom (<em>Shahada</em>), and death, for you, is birth &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!</strong><br />
<strong>If you love death</strong>, and you say the <em>Shahada</em> [declaration] (i.e., the Islamic creed: &#8220;There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is Allah&#8217;s messenger.&#8221;) aloud &#8211; <strong>then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!</strong><br />
If you&#8217;ve ever felt that you&#8217;re an exploding body and that your soul will long one day to be a knight for the homeland &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!<br />
If the stone is your weapon against oppression, and if those who hate [you] criticize your struggle &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!<br />
<strong>If you have saturated the tree of the homeland with your free blood</strong>, with love, and have <strong>offered the remnants of your bodily parts as a bridge for those who are yet to come &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian! </strong><br />
If you have shattered the chains, and carried the key to the house from which [your] grandparents were expelled &#8211; then you&#8217;re a Palestinian!<br />
<strong>If your wedding (i.e., a Martyr&#8217;s funeral in Islamic tradition is a wedding to 72 Maidens of Paradise) was amidst a hail of bullets between the shoulders of friends [who carried your body], against the sound of tears mingled with joy (i.e., of achieving Martyrdom) and the searing pain of separation- then you&#8217;re a Palestinian, and you&#8217;re full of pride at being a Palestinian.&#8221;</strong><br />

<p>During the years of the Palestinian Authority terror campaign (the Intifada, 2000 &#8211; 2005), Palestinian Media Watch documented that the <a href="http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=846">PA actively promoted Martyrdom</a> (<em>Shahada</em>) as an ideal that children should strive for. Music videos for children indoctrinating them to see Martyrdom as &#8220;sweet&#8221; were broadcast hundreds of times on PA TV. In recent years, Martyrdom for children continues to be glorified by the PA in contexts for children but with lesser frequency.</p>
<p><strong><em>The following are two examples of encouraging children to seek death as Martyrs for Allah, and one example of two girls embracing this ideal:</em></strong></p>
<p>This video, designed to offset a child&#8217;s natural fear of death, portrays Martyrdom as both heroic and tranquil. The film&#8217;s hero, a teenager, leaves a farewell letter describing the death he is seeking as pleasurable:</p>
<p><iframe width="610" height="458" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qvcpp9iCT6w?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be sad my dear [father], and don&#8217;t cry over my parting.<br />
My dear father, for my country, I sacrificed myself.<br />
With determination and desire, I will keep my promise.<br />
How sweet is Martyrdom (<em>Shahada</em>), when I am embraced by you, my land!<br />
How sweet is Martyrdom (<em>Shahada</em>), when I am embraced by you, my land!<br />
My beloved, my mother, most dear to me,<br />
be joyous over my blood, don&#8217;t cry for me.&#8221;<br />

<p>Muhammad Al-Dura (a boy who was killed in a televised crossfire) calls other children to follow him to a joyous child-Martyr Paradise. Al-Dura runs on the beach with his kite, and even goes to an amusement park:</p>

Narrator: &#8220;How sweet is the fragrance of the martyrs. How sweet is the fragrance of the earth, its thirst quenched by the gush of blood flowing from the youthful body. How sweet is the fragrance of the earth. The boy [Muhammad Al-Dura] cried: Oh father, till we meet, till we meet, father, till we meet, I will go with no fear and without crying.

<p>Host: &#8220;You described Martydrdom (<em>Shahada</em>) as something beautiful. Do you think it is beautiful?&#8221;<br />
Walla, age 11: &#8220;Martyrdom (<em>Shahada</em>) is a very, very beautiful thing. Everyone yearns for <em>Shahada</em>. What could be sweeter than going to paradise?&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;What is better, peace and full rights for the Palestinian people, or <em>Shahada</em>?&#8221;<br />
Walla: &#8220;<em>Shahada</em>. I will achieve my rights after becoming a <em>Shahida</em> (Martyr).&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;Ok, Yussra, would you agree with that?&#8221;<br />
Yussra, age 11: &#8220;Of course; <em>Shahada</em> is sweet. We don&#8217;t want this world, we want the Afterlife. We benefit not from this life, but from the Afterlife.&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;Do you actually love death? &#8221;<br />
Yussra: &#8220;Death is not <em>Shahada</em>.&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;No, I mean the absence after death. &#8221;<br />
Yussra: &#8220;No child loves death. The children of Palestine adopted the concept that <em>Shahada</em> is very good. Every Palestinian child, say someone aged 12, says: Oh Lord, I would like to become a <em>Shahid</em>.&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a call, Sabrine from Ramallah.&#8221;<br />
Sabrine (on telephone): &#8220;Ayyat Al-Akhras was 17 when she blew herself up -<br />
Host: &#8220;Sabrine, are you for it or against it?&#8221;<br />
Sabrine (on telephone): &#8220;Of course I support blowing up, it is our right.&#8221;<br />
Host: &#8220;Sabrine, now, is it natural that Ayyat Al-Akhras blows herself up?&#8221;<br />
Sabrine (on telephone): &#8220;Of course it&#8217;s natural.&#8221;<br />

<p><strong>This article is reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/site/modules/print/preview.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=6098&amp;section=all">Palestinian Media Watch</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Last week, the principal Palestinian Authority religious leader, the Mufti Muhammad Hussein, presented the killing of Jews by Muslims as a religious Islamic goal. At an event celebrating the 47th anniversary of the founding of Fatah, he cited the <em>Hadith</em> (Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad) saying that the Hour of Resurrection will not come until Muslims fight the Jews and kill them:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Hour [of Resurrection] will not come until you fight the Jews.<br />
The Jew will hide behind stones or trees.<br />
Then the stones or trees will call:<br />
&#8216;Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Palestinian Media Watch reported regularly during the PA terror campaign (Intifada, 2000-2005) on the repeated use of this <em>Hadith </em>by PA clerics on official PA TV to motivate Palestinians to terror attacks, preaching that Muslims had an <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=427">Islamic obligation to kill Jews</a>. The fact that the Mufti quotes this now indicates that this may have remained part of the PA&#8217;s religious establishment&#8217;s teachings, even though it is less frequently promoted on PA TV.</p>
<p>The last time official PA TV broadcast a sermon during which this <em>Hadith</em> <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=676&amp;fld_id=676&amp;doc_id=1626">calling to kill Jews </a>was quoted was in 2010.</p>
<p>The years of PA promotion of killing Jews and PA religious leaders&#8217; citing this <em>Hadith</em> to justify it, may have contributed to the high acceptance of it in PA society. A poll sponsored by the Israel Project last year found that 73% of Palestinians &#8220;believe&#8221; this Hadith. [July 2011, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner.]</p>
<p>The moderator who introduced the Mufti at the Fatah event last week reiterated another Islamic belief; that the Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our war with the descendants of the apes and pigs (i.e., Jews) is a war of religion and faith.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The Mufti did not distance himself from this hate statement that Islam is in a religious war with the Jews, but added to it that Islam&#8217;s goal is to kill Jews.</p>
<p>There are numerous collections of Hadith, some of which are not accepted as reliable. However, the Mufti stressed that the Islamic belief that Jews will be killed by Muslims as a precursor to Resurrection, is an authentic Islamic belief because it appears in &#8220;the reliable&#8221; and trusted Hadith collections of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.</p>

<div><strong>PA Pays Monthly Salaries to Terrorists -<br />
</strong></div>
<div><strong>Essential Facts:</strong></div>
<p><strong>1. New PA law enacts payment of monthly salaries to terrorists in Israeli prisons:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>A law signed and published in the official Palestinian Authority  Registry in April 2011 puts all Palestinians and Israeli Arabs  imprisoned in Israel for terror crimes on the PA payroll to receive a  monthly salary from the PA. [Official PA daily <em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>, April 15, 2011] This new law called <strong>PA Government Resolution of 2010, numbers 21 and 23</strong>, formalizes what has long been a PA practice.</p>
<p><strong>2. Recipients of the monthly salary:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The PA has defined by law which Palestinians would be considered &#8220;prisoners&#8221;:</p>
<div>&#8220;Anyone imprisoned in the occupation&#8217;s  [Israel's] prisons as a result of his participation in the struggle  against the occupation.&#8221; [Ch. 1 of Law of Prisoners, 2004/19,passed and  published by the PA Chairman and Government, December 2004. The  Prisoners' Centre for Studies, www.alasra.ps, Accessed May 9, 2011]</div>
<p>According to the PA definition, more than 5,500 Palestinian prisoners serving time for terror-related offenses are recipients. [<em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>,  July 14, 2011] Palestinian car thieves in Israeli prisons will not  receive a salary, but every terrorist in prison including murderers are  on the PA payroll. The salary goes directly to the terrorist or the  terrorist&#8217;s family, and prisoners receive salary from the day of arrest.</p>
<div>[<em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>, April 15, 2011]</div>
<p><strong>3. Hamas and Fatah terrorist prisoners receive monthly salaries:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>&#8220;The PA&#8217;s Ministry for Prisoner Affairs said that its policy had always been to pay salaries to prisoners and their families <strong>&#8216;regardless of their political affiliations</strong>.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<div>[<em>Jerusalem Post</em>, May 20, 2011].</div>
<p><strong>4. Total amount that the PA pays in salaries to prisoners monthly:</strong></p>
<div>Total: 17,678,247 Shekel ($5,207,000) a month, based on May 2011.</div>
<div>[<em>Life and the Market</em>, supplement to <em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>, June 19, 2011]</div>
<p><strong>5. Terrorists in prison receive higher average salary than PA civil servants and military personnel:</strong></p>

<p><strong>6. PA salary payments to prisoners is dependent on foreign funding:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The new PA law stipulates that payment of salaries <strong>&#8220;will be implemented&#8230; on the basis of available sources of funding</strong>.&#8221; [<em>Al-Hayat Al-Jadida</em>,  April 15, 2011] Accordingly, it is the contributions by the US and  other foreign donors to the PA general budget that facilitates the  payment of monthly salaries to the terrorist prisoners.</p>
<div><strong>US law and US funding of the Palestinian Authority:</strong></div>
<p><strong>7. US law prohibits funding terrorists and past terrorists:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2010: ASSISTANCE FOR THE WEST BANK AND Gaza, SEC. 7039. (b) VETTING.-</p>
<div>&#8220;Prior to the obligation of funds  appropriated by this Act under the heading &#8216;Economic Support Fund&#8217; for  assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, the Secretary of State shall take  all appropriate steps to ensure that <strong>such assistance is not provided  to or through any individual, private or government entity, or  educational institution that the Secretary knows or has reason to  believe advocates, plans, sponsors, engages in, or has engaged in,  terrorist activity&#8230;&#8221;<br />
</strong></div>
<p><strong>8. The US contributed $225 million in 2010 to the general PA budget from which the salaries are paid:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that an additional US grant in November 2010 &#8220;brings <strong>our direct budget assistance to a total of $225 million </strong>for the year and our overall support and investment to nearly $600 million this year.&#8221;</p>
<div>[State dept. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Announcement of the Transfer of Budget Assistance Funds to the Palestinian Authority, Nov. 10, 2010]</div>

<div><strong>PA&#8217;s Honoring Terrorists &#8211; Essential Facts:</strong></div>
<div><strong><br />
</strong></div>
<div>9. The PA leadership and the structures  they control present terrorist murderers as heroes and role models, and  use the PA budget to honor them and glorify their terror attacks.</div>
<p><em>The following are examples from 2011:<br />
</em><br />
10. A Palestinian Authority summer camp for children sponsored by PA  Prime Minister Salam Fayyad divided its campers into three groups named  after the terrorists Dalal Mughrabi, Salah Khalaf and Abu Ali Mustafa.</p>
<div>[<em>Al-Ayyam</em>, July 20, 2011, <a href="http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&amp;doc_id=5312">reported in PMW bulletin</a>, July 21, 2011]</div>
<p><em><strong>Dalal Mughrabi </strong>in 1978 led the most lethal terror attack in  Israel&#8217;s history, in which 37 civilians were killed, including one  American and 12 children.<br />
<strong>Salah Khalaf (Abu Iyad)</strong>, head of Black September terror group,  planned the murder of two American diplomats, and the Munich Olympics  attack in 1972, and other terror attacks.<br />

<div><strong>Reprinted from <a href="http://palwatch.org/">PalWatch.org</a>.</strong></div>
<div>The military wing of Fatah, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs&#8217; Brigades, published a  long statement in reaction to the killing of Osama bin Laden calling it a  &#8220;catastrophe.&#8221; They said that those who killed Bin Laden were &#8220;gangs of  heretics.&#8221;</div>
<p>Fatah&#8217;s military wing promises that the Jihad fighters will not be  deterred in their path and ends its announcement vowing: &#8220;We say to the  American and Israeli occupier: the [Islamic] nation which produced  leaders who changed the course of history through their Jihad&#8230; is  capable of restoring the glory of Islam and the flag of Allah&#8217;s oneness,  Allah willing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is the chairman of the  Fatah movement, whose military wing released this statement.</p>
<p><strong>The following is the text of the statement by Fatah&#8217;s Al-Aqsa Martyrs&#8217; Brigades:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;The [military wing of Fatah] Al-Aqsa  Martyrs&#8217; Brigades announced the death of Sheikh Osama bin Laden (Abu  Abdallah), and said that if bin Laden had indeed died as a Shahid  (Martyr), this would not deter the resistance fighters from the path of  Jihad against injustice, oppression and occupation in the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In their announcement, a copy of which reached MAAN [private Palestinian  news agency], the [Al-Aqsa Martyrs'] Brigades said: &#8216;The Islamic nation  awoke to a catastrophe the reports of the Shahid &#8211; (Martyr-) death of  the Sheikh, Jihad-fighter Osama bin Laden, in a treacherous manner, by  the gangs of the heretics and those who stray.&#8217;</p>
<p>They continued: &#8216;The path irrigated with the blood of its leaders is the  path of victory, Allah willing. If Abu Abdallah [Bin Laden] was killed,  then he merited the Shahada (Death for Allah) which he had sought, and  inscribed with his blood the landmarks of Jihad, leaving behind an  entire generation that follows the path of Sheikh Osama.&#8217;</p>
<p>They said: &#8216;The military wings of the Jihad fighters in Palestine and  outside of it, who have in the past lost many of their commanders and  their men, will not stop. This has only strengthened their  determination, their resolve and their loyalty to theirShahids  (Martyrs), who have turned their words into a reality testifying to  their honesty, and which in fact bolsters the drive and the strength of  their brothers on the path to victory or Shahdada (Death for Allah)&#8217;.</p>
<p>The announcement continued: &#8216;We say to the American and Israeli  occupier: the [Islamic] nation which produced leaders who changed the  course of history through their Jihad and their endurance, is a nation  that is capable of supplying an abundance of new blood into the arteries  of the resistance and is capable of restoring the glory of Islam and  the flag of Allahs oneness, Allah willing.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
