A “martyr” in the Islamic context is someone who kills and is killed for Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:111). When will the West wake up to what the Palestinian resistance is all about, and begin paying attention to what the Palestinian leadership has been saying in its own words for decades, as opposed to hearsay propaganda? The Palestinian “resistance” is all about a jihad against Israel “from the River to the Sea,” using deception, propaganda and various forms of manipulation.
The PA program on the surface looks like any Western TV show, but watch the content to see the real face of the Palestinian leadership. And the PA TV programming is directed not only to adults, but to children as well.
“The blood of the Martyrs draws the borders of the homeland” – Martyrdom veneration for adults and children alike,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, November 20, 2021:
Opening the Good Morning Jerusalem program on official PA TV, the TV host recited a poem glorifying and romanticizing death for Allah. Exemplifying the PA’s cult-like veneration of dead terrorists – who it calls “Martyrs” – by referring to their “fragrance” that “engulfs the city,” the poem expressed esteem for the “souls of the homeland’s heroes.” The host continued reading the poem, saying that it is “the blood of Martyrs that draws the borders of the homeland”, and then dedicated the entire program to dead and imprisoned terrorists – “our pure Martyrs and our heroic prisoners”:
Official PA TV host: “The homeland bows in honor before the souls of its heroes… The Martyr is the night star that guides those who stray on the path, the words attempt to describe him, but it is impossible – this is the Martyr. I am from a homeland, half of which is Martyrs, half of which is refugees, and the rest are awaiting [Martyrdom]. Fragrance engulfs the city until it is suffocating – the Martyr sits on the shoulders of Heaven and smiles. My homeland taught me that it is the blood of the Martyrs that draws the borders of the homeland. We have lost and the Martyrs have gained… This morning is dedicated to our pure Martyrs and our heroic prisoners. We say to them: Good Morning Jerusalem!”

Palestinian Media Watch has documented the PA’s intense effort to promote death for “Palestine” as “Martyrs” while “confronting” Israel in terror attacks – to children and adults alike. The poem itself and the PA TV host’s dedication of the program to terrorists is yet another example of the fact that the PA consciously and adamantly wants to keep terror on the back burner and make sure it always has a Palestinian population that is ready to “die for Allah” for Palestine. This way, when the leadership wills it, another terror wave is just a matter of intensifying the encouragement and the libels that are used as justification for the use of violence and terror against Israelis.
Recently, PMW exposed that Yasser Arafat’s turning a 14-year-old “Martyr” into a role-model for children during the second Intifada – Arafat’s 5-year terror campaign – remains central to Palestinian ideology today.
A fresh example of educational efforts to cement the ideal of “Martyrdom-death” in the minds of the population is this young girl reciting a poem with the pledge: “the path of Martyrdom is our choice”:
Girl: “O my teacher, one who calls on your behalf, O Yasser Arafat
You are the sun of Martyrdom and the promise
And the path of Martyrdom is our choice
Cause a tremor with your voice, crush the ground
You ignited the revolution that shakes the house”[Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, Nov. 13, 2021]
The girl recited the poem in honor of Arafat during an anniversary celebration in Gaza.
Similarly, official PA TV continuously broadcasts statements of joy by parents whose children have died in terror attacks or in violent confrontations with the Israeli army. One father, for example, recently stated “I’m so happy my son died as a Martyr.”…

So sick of this Islamic shit.

Demon-inspired lust for blood. This shows the satanic roots of islam…and not just the roots, but the branches, limbs, leaves, buds and shoots. Sending their young males, females, including little children, out to murder those who are opposed to their version of how life is to be lived, while they sit back, smoking, beating their many wives and selling their infants to the highest bidder.
And…then, they claim that they are the “victims” ’cause nobody likes them, and because people point to islam as being violent, full of hatred, and that it teaches terrorism. They whine to be “welcomed” into the U.S….with the intent to do the same here…to wipe out all who oppose their version of how life is to be lived.

That young Muslim woman who speaks of the”Blood of the martyrs …'” is no doubt. just about as brainwashed as those jihadists who go on suicide/homicide jihad attacks .
They fail to understand because they are so terribly blinded by the deception of false doctrines of that death cult which is Islam that the Muslims clerics, ast hose imams , who mind program them into the “jihadist mentality” are only using them a stooges for their Islamic goal of Islam’s jihad
They don’t see how they are being manipulated by the trickly of switched words as well false a lying promises.
As for switched words the imams use the term “martyrdom operation” in place of the realistic term “suicide./homicide attacks ” or murderous bombings”
Substituting a a a bogus term instead of those other terms that are keeping within reality doesn’t chance the deadly and destructive essense of those murderous actions.
As for lying promises spoken by those Muslim clerics as are lines a “We will honor you” and “You will go to paradise ” as well as “We are doing this for Allah.”
The reader might well notice that those same Muslim clerics who indoctrinate and then encourages others to engage those murderous bombing never ,ever practice what they preach and strap bomb vest on themselves and they go out and blow themselves up.
This fact alone should show all thinking people that this is all wrong. Very seriously deadly wrong.
