Celebrating Why Mommy Blew Herself UpSuicide bomber's children shown re-enactment of mother's death on Hamas TV kids' show.

By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

The Hamas TV children's program Tomorrow's Pioneers produced a special broadcast in which the two young children of a female suicide terrorist were invited to the TV studio to watch a video re-enactment of their mother's suicide bombing. The terrorist, Reem Riyashi, killed four Israelis in a suicide bombing in 2004.

Calling the terrorist a "Martyr," the bear puppet and star of the program, Nassur, introduces Riyashi's children to the other children in the studio:

"[Our guests are] the children of the Shahida [Martyr] Reem Riyashi."

Then Muhammad and Duha, the young son and daughter of Riyashi, together with the children in the studio, watch a music video re-enactment of their mother's suicide bombing. While the video is shown, the TV camera shows close-ups of Riyashi's children as they stare at the screen images of their mother's bombing and death. Read more ...

Bombs Are More Precious Than Children. Hamas TV has a wholesome message for today's Palestinian youth.

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

IMAGINE A MUSIC VIDEO teaching kids that bombs are more precious than children. This is not fantasy - this is the message of an actual Hamas TV music video. After a five-year-old finds out that her mother wore a bomb belt to a suicide terror attack, she sings: "Now I know what was more precious than us." She then swears to follow in her mother's footsteps, as a suicide bomber.

This is just one example of the wide range of hateful and abusive messages on Hamas TV, designed to indoctrinate children to Hamas values. Children are taught to value violence, hatred and Islamic supremacy, and that seeking Martyrdom for Allah is the highest value, bringing "honor and glory."

PMW has created a five-minute compilation of key representative segments from Hamas TV that document this indoctrination of children. Read more ...

Palestinian Authority Libel

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

he Palestinian Authority is intensifying its longstanding blood libel campaign against Israel, falsely accusing Israel of conducting horrific Nazi-like medical experiments on Palestinian prisoners. These fabrications have been featured repeatedly in the Palestinian Authority's official newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, which is under the direct authority of Mahmoud Abbas.

In the past week alone there were three new examples of this libel:

"The method employed by the Israeli Occupation in which they [are] instigating slow death ... doctors in Israeli prison clinics use the prisoners as guinea pigs for clinical drug testing under the pretense of 'treatment.'" [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 6, 2008]

"Many of the male and female inmates received injections from needles they had not seen before, and which caused their hair and facial hair to fall out permanently ... others lost their sanity, or their mental condition is constantly deteriorating... and some are suffering from infertility." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 4, 2008]

"The doctors in these prison clinics are using the prisoners as guinea pigs for clinical testing of drugs and treatment-methods." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 3, 2008] Read more ...

Palestinian TV: Baby-Killer "A Lesson for Us"

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

According to the Palestinian Authority leadership, Samir Quntar epitomizes the ideal Palestinian prisoner. Quntar, who crushed the head of four-year-old Eynat Haran with his rifle, is serving four life sentences for murder in an Israeli prison, but is almost certain to be freed in a prisoner swap with Hizbullah this week.

On one hand, Quntar embodies what the PA considers the "heroism" of terrorists fighting Israel. On the other hand, he's the ultimate symbol of all terrorist prisoners who have murdered Israelis and will eventually be freed as a result of future kidnappings or through some other means.

PA TV, controlled by Mahmoud Abbas, broadcast the following picture honoring Quntar. He is depicted beside a map of Israel completely covered by the Palestinian flag. Read more ...

Palestinians admit they left their homes on their own to facilitate destruction of Israel

by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

The Arabs who became refugees in 1948 were not expelled by Israel but left on their own to facilitate the destruction of Israel, according to a senior Palestinian journalist writing in a Palestinian daily. This plan to leave Israel was initiated by the Arab states fighting Israel, who promised the people they would be able to return to their homes in a few days once Israel was defeated. The article in Al-Ayyam concludes that these Arab states are responsible for the Arab refugee problem. Read more ...

PA schoolbooks on fighting Americans and British in Iraq: "Brave resistance to liberate Iraq" from "occupation"

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

In response to queries after yesterday's bulletin about Palestinian Authority (PA) support of terrorists fighting American and British soldiers in Iraq, PMW is providing additional significant material on this issue from Palestinian schoolbooks.

Palestinian support for those fighting American and British soldiers in Iraq is mainstream Palestinian ideology. One prominent and important example can be seen in the recently published PA 12th grade schoolbooks. In these newest PA schoolbooks, the relationship between the Islamic-Arab world and the West is described as a "Clash of Civilizations", led by the United States [Contemporary Problems, grade 12, p. 92.], and Iraq is cited quite frequently.

Islam is said to promote Human Rights [ibid, pp. 95-96], while the US and the West are described as "the colonialist states, [who] are taking advantage of it [human rights]" and "interfering in the matters of other states, as is happening in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur..." [ibid, p. 101] America is guilty of "violations of international humanitarian law in Iraq and Afghanistan..." [ibid, p. 108] Finally, the Palestinian children are taught that fighting against American and British soldiers in Iraq is "brave resistance to liberate Iraq" from "occupation" [History of the Arabs and the World in the 20th Century, grade 12, p. 147.],

These are the same opinions expressed this week by Fatah leader Mahmoud Ismail and documented in yesterday's PMW bulletin. Read more ...

Palestinian Authority demonization of USA continues

By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook

Fatah TV Broadcasts Daily Call For Ethnic Cleansing of Jews

By Ezra HaLevi

(IsraelNN.com) Fatah chief and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's PA television has been repeatedly broadcasting a hate-filled music video calling for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people from Israel.

"My enemy, oh snake! Around the land, you are coiled. You have no choice, oh enemy, but to leave my country," is the refrain in the video, which has been broadcast on a daily basis for the past several months, according to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

"The song's refrain, 'My enemy, oh enemy,' is repeated over and over throughout the song. Israel is not even given the courtesy of a name, but is tagged with such labels as 'treacherous,' 'imperialism' and a 'coiled snake,'" PMW Director Itamar Marcus points out. "The Palestinian is portrayed as a heroic victim who courageously confronts the evil 'enemy' Israel."
