Violence is the ideal means
to solve conflict. For years this has been the repeated message from
both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas - from glorifying violence
by honoring terrorists as role models to directly calling for the
killing of Jews.
 Israel,
which is denied any legitimate right to any part of "Palestine," is
presented along with the US as the arch-enemy against whom this
violence should be directed.
Palestinian children
have absorbed the message and know by heart how to sing praises to
violence. In the latest episode of the weekly children´s program
Tomorrow´s Pioneers on
Hamas TV, a Palestinian boy chose to sing the following children´s
song:
"Daddy gave me
a present, a machine gun and a rifle.
When I am a big boy, I
will join the Liberation Army.
The army of [Izz Al-Din] Al-
Qassam (Hamas),
which has taught us how to defend our
homeland.
Our homeland is precious, precious.
We [are]
victorious, victorious over America and Israel.
[Improvises:]
Son of a bitch - what brought you to this
land?"
It is worth noting that the two hosts,
the young girl Saraa and Nassur, an adult in a bear costume, approved
of the boy´s choice of song and let him sing it. Only when the
boy cursed ("Son of a bitch") did the young girl cut him off,
pointing out that the "program is a program for children, not for
anything else." The objection was to the boy´s cursing, not to
the content of the song. The adult inside the puppet ended the
exchange by defending the boy: "He didn´t say anything else, Saraa.
He said the truth."
A Palestinian girl singing the
same song was once broadcast on PA TV. To see the video, click

The following is the transcript of the Palestinian boy´s
song about victory over Israel and the US on Hamas
TV:
Boy named Raad
calls in from Hebron to the children´s program Tomorrow´s
Pioneers and recites a popular
song:
"Daddy gave me a
present, a machine gun and a rifle.
When I am a big boy, I will
join the Liberation Army.
The army of [Izz Al-Din] Al-Qassam
(Hamas),
which has taught us how to defend our
homeland.
Our homeland is precious, precious.
We [are]
victorious, victorious over America and Israel.
[Improvises:]
Son of a bitch [lit. "daughter of a dog" - apparently a reference to
Israel] - what brought you to this land?"
Child host Saraa interrupts: "Thank you very
much, Raad from Hebron, for your participation. Of course, our
program is a program for children, not for anything else."
Nassur [adult host in bear
costume]: "Yes, but he didn´t say anything else, Saraa. He
said the truth."

TV (Hamas), Feb. 5, 2010]
