HAMAS CHILDREN’S MONTHLY: “AMERICANS ARE ‘BARBARIC RAPISTS AND MURDERERS’”

The editorial in the current edition of “Al-Fateh” (The Conqueror), the Hamas monthly children’s magazine, again uses malicious messages against “the Americans, the Jews and the English.”

The average age of this magazine’s reader base -- judging from the pictures, illustrations and short stories it contains – is estimated at about 10 years. It continuously publishes editorials which although not long, are embellished with hateful words against “the enemies of the Arab and Muslim nation.” Although the war in Iraq provided harsh pictures, including harm against civilians and residences, the editorial writer goes one step further, stating that “the enemies were careful not to overlook even one school or neighborhood and threw the sick out of their beds after stealing their bed linen.”

The following are excerpts from the May edition’s editorial:

“These days the pain of the Arab and Muslim nation is great. Blood and body parts in the fighting Palestine; destruction, betrayal, theft, looting, killing,and rape in Iraq: whose blood has been forsaken by the British, the Americans and the Jews.”

“The blood of Iraq was forsaken as in the past and the same is occurring in the blessed and beloved Palestine. They have murdered elderly, women and children and have sent Ba’sra, Mou’sul and Baghdad up in flames. They have sent the mobs into the hospitals, the schools and the universities and looted everything they contain. They have even stolen the very beds used by the bedridden and wounded, together with the bed linen. They then threw the sick on the ground and took all the medicine, they even kidnapped the nannies. The same happened even with the small chairs of our little beloved children. They stole equipment from universities and set public and private institutions ablaze. They did things which even the barbarian Saljuks did not do to Ba’sra and its residents in the sad era of our nation’s past.”

“The people of this land have witnessed the events on the land of Iraq, whose blood was forsaken. They saw the aircraft setting everything ablaze, destroying homes with their residents, tearing down enormous buildings. They didn’t overlook one school, university, hospital, neighborhood, market or mosque. They rendered everything into dust and ashes.”

“…[W]e are sad for the Iraqi children who were victims of a rapid death. Those of them who survived the previous two wars (the Iran-Iraq war and the Iraq-Kuwait war) died during the terrible siege…

… [W]e are cherishing our tears so that with them we can write of the tragedy of our children, and of our people, from the hands of the tyrants from within and the invaders from without – may the curse of Allah be upon them all.”

The Hamas movement was established at the end of 1987, when the first Intifada (armed uprising) broke out. Today, Hamas is an opposition movement to the Palestinian Authority and it operates among wide segments of the Palestinian people, actively recruiting supporters. It offers welfare and assistance to the weaker sectors from which most of its supporters and activists originate. The movement recently expressed its strong opposition to the “Road Map for Peace” and it has been carrying out a continuous campaign of terror against Israel from the day it was established. At the beginning of this year, Hamas held talks with Fatah, the central movement of the Palestinian Authority (answering directly to Yassir Arafat), which sought to bring the terror attacks against Israel to a temporary standstill. The talks failed to accomplish that purpose and Hamas continued its strict and uncompromising stand against any kind of negotiations with Israel, whose existence it does not recognize.

What is needed is a Radio/TV Free Arabia. Broadcast lots of cartoon shows with subdued messages for the kids and lots of MTV, to win over the 10 yr olds when they reach adolesence.

This same type of vitriol comes out of Democratic Underwear as well.

[Mr. Mojo]

This same type of vitriol comes out of Democratic Underwear as well.

It's probably where Hamas gets its material.

[doug from upland]

I wonder where they got that rapist part. Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

[JRandomFreeper]

they even kidnapped the nannies

Well, that does it for me. We are some royal barstids, ain't we. Nannies indeed.

Would we be more civilized if we promoted homicide/suicide bombers like Hamas does?

[upchuck]

They teach this to their kids. The kids grow up and teach it to their kids.

Seems to me the "Roadmap To Peace" is going nowhere until a way to break this cycle of indoctrination is found.

This statement from the article is particularly telling: At the beginning of this year, Hamas held talks with Fatah, the central movement of the Palestinian Authority (answering directly to Yassir Arafat), which sought to bring the terror attacks against Israel to a temporary standstill. The talks failed to accomplish that purpose and Hamas continued its strict and uncompromising stand against any kind of negotiations with Israel, whose existence it does not recognize.

We appear to be dealing with some hardheaded sum bitches!

The Palestinians who support Hamas and other groups like it are LYING scuz-balls or imbeciles to believe such tripe. I have zip sympathy for them. They can rot in hell and the hell-holes that they have created for themselves by their terrorist-supporting, violence-ridden stupidity. When the time comes for Israel to finally take matters in their own hands and actually do a smigeon of what these ignorant, blood-thirsty barbarians have unjustly accused them (and Westerners) of doing anyway all of these years, I'm not gonna give a dang...

Never will I forget how those Palestinian pigs danced in the streets in ghoulish delight on 9/11/01. Nor will I ever forget how the moronic, loser Palestinians praised Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and still think that Arafat and his Hamas goons are actually helping their cause by hoarding millions of foreign-aid dollars in Swiss Banks/the Cayman Islands for themselves or sending other families'--never their own--children to murder Jewish and Western civilians in the name of their blood-soaked moon god. What idiots. They deserve whatever befalls them--and it certainly won't be freedom to drive the Jews into the sea or kill more infidels anytime soon, let alone being given a state or economic advancement if the violence and LYING garbage continues...

Sheesh. Even the other Arab states don't want them. Jordon, Syria, Kuwait and even Iraq have had to kick the unruly buggers out...

Didn't know that the Washington Post was translated into Arabic.

The editorial in the current edition of “Al-Fateh” (The Conqueror), the Hamas monthly
children’s magazine, again uses malicious messages against
“the Americans, the Jews and the English.”

Bet there are a few tough Australians, Poles and other military personnel
of The Coalition who object to being left off the list!

It would be interesting to get a telephone interview with a Hamas spokes-person
and tell them how much we agree with their list...because France was
obviously left off the list because they are a bunch of cowardly weasels that don't
scare anyone except Greenpeace.
(RE: the only successful naval action of France for maybe the last
century or so...the sinking of Greenpeace's "Rainbow Warrior" by French operatives
because of interference with France's nuclear tests in the Pacific.)

HAMAS CHILDREN’S MONTHLY: “AMERICANS ARE ‘BARBARIC RAPISTS AND MURDERERS’”

Only if you take Clinton as an example of an 'American'.

[ozzymandus]

Hey, lets strap dynamite to our kids and send them to blow up pizza parlors like Hamas does. Then maybe they won't call us barbarians, right??

[ladyinred]

Have they been reading Clinton's new book? Or is it Hillary's?

[Uncle Miltie]

Hamas: Funded by our friends the Saudis. Thanks Colin!

[Mr. Silverback]

Dang, and California's worried their textbooks might portray too few mulatto touch-typists or something.

[NewRomeTacitus]

Don't stop there, Palis. The martyr trading card thing has been done so you have to corrupt the little nippers with new psyche-warping entertainment. Comic books featuring heroic faithful overcoming western imperialism and saving the day for Allah (grateful neighbors shower the hero with daughters and livestock as he wipes his sword on the slayed infidel).
Fun-loving nursery rhymes ("The jew goes in, the smoke comes out...").
Milton-Bradley variations (The Game of Death, Jews & Adders, You're Sorry and Interrogation-The Game for budding young Torturers.)
I grew up reading Highlights for Kids, Boy's Life and boxes of Scholastic Reader books. These kids are being abused in a way beyond physical harm by having their formative years dominated by a never-ceasing message of hatred. Those who can read get to read very little while the remainder are helpless while they're raised to believe in a framework of lies.
The press jumped on a case where a soldier in Iraq had to kill a kid who kept trying to kill him.
I wonder how the number of self-defense cases was kept so low.
