Hamas Indoctrinates Youngsters at Summer Camp
Matthew Stannard of the San Francisco Chronicle reports on Hamas summer camps for youngsters where the fun includes paramilitary training:
At one beach camp, attended by approximately 100 kids, an instructor wore a heavy flannel shirt under which a webbed belt could be seen strapped to his stomach. Asked by a reporter what it was, he answered, with a broad smile, “Boom!”
The instructor led a group of young teenagers through marching drills on the sand — facing movements, close quarter drill. With a smile at the reporter, he put a megaphone to his lips.
“What are you?” he called.
“Monsters!” the kids replied.
“What are you?!”
“MONSTERS!”
As the instructor, Sa’eb Dormush, stepped aside for an interview, a youth in the group shouted out “moqawama!” — resistance.
“That is the first word they learn when they are born,” Dormush said with a laugh. “This is the next generation.”
And the camp sing-alongs are all about killing Zionists:
Across camp, a group of younger children — most between 10 and 12 — sat in a circle in the sand singing one of the “intifada songs” they learn at camp. One boy sang verses in a rolling soprano as the others joined in on the one-word chorus.
“We don’t want to sleep.
HA-A-MAS!
We want revenge.HA-A-MAS!
Raise it up.HA-A-MAS!
Rifle fire.HA-A-MAS!
If it will take a thousand martyrs.HA-A-MAS!
Kill Zionists.HA-A-MAS!
Wherever they are.HA-A-MAS!
In the name of God.HA-A-MAS!”
Just another example of the Palestinian incitement that prevents any meaningful peace negotiations and resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. (Hat tip: LGF)
