Here are some excerpts from a Palestinian Children's TV show, aired on Dec 1st.


TV Host: There used to be a girl, who was a student at medical school. She lived in a refugee camp called Al-Am'ari. the Al-Am'ari camp, my dear children, is located near the city of Ramallah in occupied Palestine.

[Wafa Idris] went to the commander of the resistance, and asked to carry out a martyrdom operation. What, a girl carrying out a martyrdom operation?! She said: I want to carry out a martyrdom operation, just like any young man in the resistance. Obviously, the commander hesitated at first, because this was the first time such a thing happened. Since the beginning of the Intifada, no Palestinian girl had carried out a martyrdom operation. But Wafa insisted, until she managed to convince the commander that the Zionists would not pay attention to a girl. Usually, they only inspect the young men. So the commander agreed. In light of her determination, courage, and persistence - he agreed.

--------------

Second boy: Wasn't Wafa afraid among the occupiers? Didn't she hesitate?

TV Host: Of course not. She wasn't afraid, and she did not hesitate, because she placed Allah between her eyes and in her heart. She would always remember Allah and would crush her fear. If fear wanted to come near her calm and peaceful heart, she would get ready to enter Paradise, knowing that she would be among the living, who are sustained [by God]. Who are they? The martyrs.

--------------

Wafa fulfilled her wish by successfully carrying out her martyrdom operation. The result was that she killed an Israeli soldier and wounded about a hundred. Why was Wafa martyred? So that the flower of the homeland would not wither.

--------------

Third boy: When was she martyred?

TV Host: Wafa Idris was martyred on Sunday, January 27, 2002. She has become a role model for any Palestinian girl who harbors the spirit of self-sacrifice, national sentiment, and love of death for the sake of Allah and in defense of the homeland.

Young girl: I want to become a doctor like Wafa, so that I can help the wounded.

TV Host: Allah willing, we will all become like Wafa Idris. We will treat the wounded, and Allah will grant us martyrdom.

Surely nothing religious about this, heh?

Anyone care to share their thoughts on the barbarity of brainwashing children towards hatred and martyrdom for the sake of Allah?

Still, we can take comfort in knowing deep down all they want is peace, so that's ok then.
