Religious Hate Speech For Children On PA TV

By C. J. Refsland on April 3, 2013 • ( 0 )

Earlier this month, Palestinian children were taught Islam-based hatred of Jews on the weekly PA TV children’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, “Allah’s enemies, the sons of pigs,” defiled the Quran and Jerusalem, both crimes against Islam, and “murdered children,” “cut off their limbs,” and “raped the women in the city squares.” Palestinian Media Watch has documented that this weekly PA TV children’s program teaches hatred and denial of Israel’s existence

The suggested response to Jews and Zionists offered in this hate poem is military and Islamic:

“Where is the nation of Islam?

Where are the nation of Islam and the Jihad fighters?”

At the end of the recital of the hate poem, the young program host applauded enthusiastically and said:

“Bravo, applause, applause, applause to Hadeel.”

The poem also included a tribute to Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization and Arafat:

“From between the whistles of the bullets I sing:

‘Long live the nation of Fatah and Yasser Arafat.'”

This Islam-based hatred that in the past was associated exclusively with Hamas is now appearing in mainstream PA children’s education as well.

A young girl recites a poem filled with Islamic hate messages and libels demonizing Jews on the weekly PA TV children’s show “The Best Home”:

“Allah created me and formed me
He made me prouder and made me a Palestinian
He made defiance flow like blood in my veins
And I made the revolution burst forth like clay stones
I raised the flags of certain victory:
Allah’s book [the Quran] and the tradition of the most esteemed among prophets [Muhammad].
I called in the voice of hidden justice
I lit a fire like volcanoes under their feet
I refused to be submissive and degraded
I rejected [everything] but dying with the honor that will give me life
From a nation that has forgotten the Muslims’ heroism
– Omar ibn al-Khattab and Saladin – [Muslim fighters who conquered Jerusalem]
from between the whistles of the bullets I sing:
‘Long live the nation of Fatah and Yasser Arafat’
Allah’s enemies, the sons of pigs (i.e., Jews, in Islamic tradition)
Destroyed and uprooted the olive and fig trees
They murdered children with guns, like snakes
They cut off their limbs with stones and knives
They raped the women in the city squares
They defiled Allah’s book [the Quran] in front of millions
Where is the nation of Islam?
Where are the nation of Islam and the Jihad fighters?
Where is the fear of Allah in Jerusalem, which has been defiled by the Zionists?”
PA TV host: “Bravo, applause, applause, applause to Hadeel.”
