The Next Generation of Israeli Terrorists

Boycott Israeli Goods | 18.07.2006 11:07 | Terror War

Israeli girls write messages on a shell at a heavy artillery position near Kiryat Shmona, in northern Israel, next to the Lebanese border, Monday, July 17, 2006.



“It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonization or Jewish state without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands.” (Ariel Sharon, former Likud Party Prime Minister, Agence France Press, November 15, 1998).

“We must expel Arabs and take their place.” (David Ben Gurian, former Labor Party Prime Minister, 1937).

“There’s no such thing as a Palestinian people. It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn’t exist.” (Golda Meir, former Labor Party Prime Minister).

“Israel will create in the course of the next 10 or 20 years conditions which would attract natural and voluntary migration of the refugees from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to Jordan.” (Yitzak Rabin, former Labor Party Prime Minister)

“You don’t simple bundle people onto trucks and drive them away. I prefer to advocate a positive policy, to create, in effect, a condition that in a positive way will induce people to leave.” (Ariel Sharon, August 24, 1988)

“The partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized…Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And forever.” (Menachem Begin, former Likud Party Prime Minister).

“I believed and to this say still believe, in our people’s eternal and historic right to this entire land.” (Ehud Olmert, Israeli Prime Minister, to the US House of Representatives, June 2006)

But....what about the other side

18.07.2006 12:07

From earliest childhood, lurid messages demonize Zionists and Jews as evil and extol the joys of martyrdom attained in killing them.

Hamas is in the forefront of Palestinian groups exploiting the Internet to disseminate propaganda, with approximately 20 sites in seven languages. A children’s on-line magazine called "Al-Fateh"(www.al-fateh.net) – meaning the conqueror – juxtaposes child-like cartoons and stories with shocking images of violence.

Issue number 38 of Al-Fateh, includes a photograph of the decapitated head of a female suicide bomber.

The caption reads "Zaynab Abu Salem who carried out the suicide bombing attack. Her head was severed from her pure body and her headscarf remained to decorate her face. Your place is in heaven in the upper sky, Zaynab ... sister [raised to the status of heroic] men." Abu Salem had killed two Israeli border policemen and wounded 17.

Haj Amin Al Husseini - the leader of the Palestinian militants, uncle of Arafat and close friend of Hitler said:

"..to settle the question of the Jewish elements in Palestine, and other Arab countries, in accordance with national and racial interests of the Arabs, and along lines, similar to those used to solve the Jewish question in Germany and Italy."


From the PA media and education the apparent answer is that the children are pushed by their parents, teachers, friends and the education they receive in the Palestinian Authority schools glorifying death as Martyrs ["Shahid" death for Allah] as a supreme virtue. As the number of those killed rises, the Palestinian media extols and exalts not only those killed, but also their willingness to die as Martyrs for Allah, emphasizing that dying a Martyr's death was the realization of their hopes. By examining closely what the children and their parents are saying it is likely that there are young children who are going directly to areas of conflict with th e clear goal of endangering their lives, in order to their please their parents, friends, and teachers.

The following are a number of stories among many that were prominently reported in the Palestinian media. In particular, note the positive attitude of parents toward their children's death, and the statements of injured children that they seek a higher goal, death and Martyrdom. The Sources:

"The Martyr Wajdi Al-Hattab (9th grade) responded to the call of Allah and achieved the Martyrdom that he yearned for, so that it would clear the way for the liberation of Al Aksa and Palestine from the defilement of the occupation. He would always say to his friends: 'When I become a Martyr, give out Kannafa [sweet cake]. He always spoke about his uncle who became a Martyr in southern Lebanon, and yearned to become a Martyr like him and [now] he attained what he yearned for. He reached the highest levels with Allah. [Wajdi's gym teacher relates:] Wajdi asked me to give out Kannafa if he becomes a Martyr. His classmates swore that they would continue in the path of Martyrdom until the liberation of Jerusalem."

[Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 9 November 2000].

"The danger of injury of the boy Saber Al-Ashkar (aged 18), paralysis and permanent disability, just added to his mother's determination to encourage her sons to participate in the Intifada riots.. and the fact of his injury by a live bullet did not cause her to mourn. She said that she had [previously] lost her older son Iyad, and described him as the first flower that appeared in her life. She is not interested in anything but encouraging her sons to self-sacrifice and Martyrdom for the land of Palestine." [Al Ayyam 1 November 2000]

"A PATV broadcast conducted conversations with 2nd grade school children. An interviewer spoke with a child who had thrown stones [in the riots]: Interviewer: "You threw stones at the army and injured your leg. Will you throw again?" Child: "Yes". Interviewer: "You aren't afraid to die?" Child: [embarrassed, hesitant] Interviewer: [indicates "No" to the child by shaking her head in the negative] Child: "No." [PATV 19/10/00]

[Headline]: "The Boy Martyr Karam Al-Kard [age 12] announced of his own death on the walls of his home" [article text] "Prior to his being injured... Karam announced his own death on the walls of his home and attributed to himself Martyrdom and its honor, in his handwriting on the walls. The notice read: 'The Al-Kard family announces the death of its courageous Martyr Karam Fat'he Al-Kard..." [Al Hayat Al Jadida, 30 November 2000]

"The Martyr Wajdi [aged 14, said] to his father: 'I will bring you a Shahada (Martyrdom) that you will be proud of for the rest of your life'. His mother says: 'My son is not my son only, he belongs to his noble Palestinian people. One of his friends said that the last words of the Martyr, that he repeated over and over, spoke of the significance of Martyrdom and on becoming a Martyr."

[Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 8 November 2000].

"[He] sacrificed his son (aged 18) in order to redeem the homeland and Jerusalem. He stated that becoming a Martyr is a tremendous source of pride and a medal on his chest... he added that his son always spoke about martyrdom and his desire to become a Martyr." [Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 9 Nov. 2000].

The Martyr Muhammad Abu Tahoun wrote down his final words on his notebook: 'The Martyrs will attain Paradise, and I will be with them, Allah willing.'" .

[Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 9 November 2000].

"The father [of Mohammed Hiza' Halas, 23]: ... [He has] great pride that his progeny has become a Martyr .... With regard to his mother, she says that her offspring wished to become a Martyr and she anticipated it." [Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 2 November 2000].

"Our blood is a sign of our fighting for our precious Palestine"

[A teacher, next to pupils on Palestinian Television, 2 November 2000].

"What pushes our children and youth to the arenas of death?... [Ramadan Saadi Abd Rabbo, an injured 13-year-old, said:] 'my goal is not to be injured, but rather something higher: Martyrdom.'" [Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 8 November 2000]

"The wounded 11-year-old, Amr Qarut, wants to win the honor of a Martyr's death... and he insists on continuing the [violent] struggle." [Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 6 November 2000].

"The wounded Sa'ed Awad Allah [aged 11], from the Jaballiya [refugee] camp said: We are all potential Martyrs for Jerusalem and the Homeland" [Al Hayat - Al Jadida, 6 November 2000].

"We must battle until we achieve peace on our own and until our blood will not be spilled for naught, we must battle and die in order to attain all that we want." [8-year-old girl Halah Badir] [Al Ayyam, 2 November 2000].

"[22-year-old Tauzem Musa Abu Def's] brother... feels honor and pride from his brother's becoming a Martyr, ...and added that he intends to continue on the path started by his brother." [Al Ayyam, 2 November 2000].

" I will take my soul in my hand and toss it into the abyss of death. And then either life that will gladden friends or death that will anger the enemy. The honorable soul has two objectives: Achieving death and honor." 'Song of the Martyr' recited by schoolgirls. (the poem appears in 5th, 6th and 12th grade PA school books) [PATV, 27 October 2000]

This current promotion of Martyrdom is part of a long-term phenomenon in the Palestinian society. PA television in 1998 described two mothers' joy at their children's "Martyrdom" in the Intifada, as follows:

Narrator: ". the heroine was shot .and her pure blood flowing and her pure spirit joyously going to her creator.." Girl's Mother: "I asked: who is she that died? She told me 'it's your daughter.' I said: 'Thank Allah, thank Allah. We have a right to liberate our homeland and we will liberate it. It is our honor to fall . She would say "it doesn't matter, I will die for the redemption of the homeland", meaning I want to die for the redemption of the homeland. Intisar fell and it is an honor for us and an honor for our children." Relative of the family:."Every time she heard a bang [she said] 'someone was shot, I hope that next time it will be me, I want to die as a martyr'. [PA TV - Oct. 7, 1998]

Mother of Muhammad ["martyred" in the riots]: ".I hope that all my children will be martyrs." [PA TV - Sept. 9, 1998]

Jewish & Proud


Jewish and proud or Zionist and proud?

18.07.2006 13:54

Palestinian prejudice against Israelis or their support for violence against Israelis misses the point. The point is that for Zionists, Israel was always a genocidal project, unprovoked by Arabs. Criminality is at the heart of Israel.

Western people are woefully ignorant of Zionism. For instance:
i. Zionists regarded colonial South Africa as a model for a ‘Jewish homeland
ii. Zionism formed an alliance with Nazism in the 1930s
iii. Zionists collaborated with the Holocaust as a means of forcing Jewish people into Palestine
iv. the Zionist plan was to force Arabs out of their land by violence, threats and destruction of their communities
v. Zionists use the charge of ‘anti-semitism’ to stop criticism of the Zionist project
vi. some leading Jewish international bankers, who have been secretly influential in world affairs, have supported Zionism

The problem with the current Israeli action is that for the general public it smashes any notions of the ‘victim Jewish state’ that Zionists and Western politicians and the media have been conning people with. The iron fist of Zionist Israel has smashed through its velvet glove. Many people now see Israel was the aggressor, rogue state that could plunge the Middle East into a nuclear conflict. Yet, Israel is only following a Western plan to break up the oil-bearing Middle Eastern states into their ethnic parts so as they can dominate the land and control the oil. This plan requires the death of many people. (It should be noted that the Muslim Brotherhood - grandfather of al Qaida - was formed in the 1920s with the help of British Intelligence. Yet, during WWII, it did have a dalliance with Nazism, as did the Zionists. As Channel 4's 30 Minutes showed last Friday, the Foreign Office are still happy to work with the Muslim Brotherhood.)

The true face of the most depraved race hate, Israeli-style

18.07.2006 16:16

The Israelis take great pride in their child-inclusive activities of race-hate. Meanwhile...

QUOTE
Most Palestinians in Gaza support the demand that Palestinian prisoners, in particular women and youths under 18, be returned in exchange for the captive Israeli soldier.

The case of 15-year-old Hibah Yaghmour may help to explain why. She was convicted of disobeying a soldier’s order and using physical force as she tried to enter a mosque.

According to the girl’s family, when the soldier tried to search her she pushed him and ran away. He shot her three times. When Hibah came out of a coma and went on trial, a female Israeli soldier who witnessed the incident agreed the teenager, then 14, had asked for a woman to conduct the search.

“She felt humiliated,” said Hibah’s father, a middle-class businessman. “She did not want a man to touch her.” She is now in Tel Mond prison, serving an 18-month sentence.
UNQUOTE (from The Times)

A small number of miles away, and we see a very different treatment of a child. There is no better way to humiliate a people than by abusing their kids in the most depraved way possible, and daring anyone to protect them.

Hibah's parents had to witness their child gunned down, and then surviving the attempt to butcher her, the child being dragged screaming to an Israeli rape factory. Don't bother using sophisticated arguments with those that support the depraved crimes of Israelis, they won't have any affect with such racist 'master-race' monsters. Instead, disseminate news stories like the above as widely as possible. If you have friends with kids, let them know exactly what their experiences would be as Palestinian victims of the most sick twisted race-hate minds the Earth has ever witnessed, namely the Israelis. Ask them what they would do as they watched THEIR child dragged off to have her life permanently ruined in one of Israel's many RAPE-AND-TORTURE camps. Ask how they would then feel about STRAW, MANDELSON, GOLDSMITH, and LEVY being able to use their positions of power to ensure that their child's abuse was shared by an ever number of children in all those lands that Israeli has marked for MASS-RAPE, MASS-TORTURE, MASS-MURDER, and MASS-RAPE, like Palestine, Bosnia, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and soon to be Iran.

How can Demonspawn be actually further demonised??

weegee


Uh huh...

19.07.2006 01:23



The missiles were being aimed at terrorists and the photo was probably staged by a journalist (who apparently can't tell the difference between English and Hebrew). What's the problem?

On the other hand...

Spot the upcoming terrorist.

Tata


Ha Ha, Tata

19.07.2006 08:01

"The missiles were being aimed at terrorists"

Really?

"The St. Gregorius Church in Rachaya al-Fokhar suffered a direct hit, as did the Lake Qaraoun Dam and the ambulance donated by the Emirates in Dahr al-Baydar. "

Hizbollah churches? No, Israeli war crimes.

"In an early morning attack, 11 Lebanese Army soldiers were killed and 40 wounded Tuesday as Israeli fighter jets raided an army base in the town of Jamhour, overlooking Beirut's southern suburbs."

Lebanese army? Aren't they the guys Israel wants to stop Hizbollah?
