Palestinian children wear “suicide belts” to celebrate terror anniversary in Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, WEST BANK (ANS - January 13, 2016)
-- At a celebratory parade in Bethlehem last week, young masked
Palestinian children were dressed with “suicide belts” and equipped with
“guns” and “RPGs”.
The
celebration marked the 51st anniversary of the launch of the Fatah
movement, the largest faction of the Palestinian Liberation Organization
founded by Yasser Arafat.
Young
children participated in the procession wielding toy weapons and
“suicide belts,” according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).
The celebration was attended by top Fatah and PA officials.
“Children
were seen carrying models of RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and
explosive belts, and they all walked through the alleys of the refugee
camp in the procession, during which the sound of songs of the national
revolution were heard.” [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Jan. 8, 2016]
PMW
has documented previously that a key part of PA educational messages to
children is promotion of violence and glorification of terrorists. Many
believe the cycle of violence in the Middle East will not end as long
as children are schooled in terrorist ideology.
The
Fatah movement recently expressed official support for Nashat Melhem,
who killed 3 Israeli civilians at the beginning of this month in Tel
Aviv.
The
movement “opened a mourning tent for the heroic Martyr (Shahid) Nashat
Melhem” on the official Facebook page of the Fatah Movement and stated
their “congratulations and may Allah receive you in Heaven.”
