Hamas: Martyrdom death for Allah is ideal.

Hamas: Martyrdom death for Allah is ideal.(PW).By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik.During Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense that aimed to destroy Hamas' terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, Hamas' TV propaganda included various ideological messages. Palestinian Media Watch documented one such message that promoted the killing of Jews as worship of Allah. Another ideological message promoted the Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood interpretation of Islamic tradition that places love of Martyrdom death for Allah - Shahada - above the desire for life. Addressing Israelis, Hamas' spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said:
"You [Israelis] think that we will be afraid of your killing policy and of these threats. We say to you: This policy is futile. Hamas leaders seek Martyrdom (i.e., death for Allah). You scare us with what we love (i.e., death)."

 The same spokesman presented Martyrdom death fighting Israel as the supreme achievement when he spoke of the head of Hamas' military wing, Ahmad Al-Ja'abari, who Israel killed at the outset of the conflict, stressing that death was his greatest aspiration:

"The commander, the great Martyr (Shahid) Al-Ja'abari, achieved his greatest aspirations (i.e., when killed by Israel)." 

A video broadcast on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV during the recent conflict addressed Israelis with the same message:

"From the Al-Qassam Brigades to the Zionist soldiers:
The Al-Qassam Brigades love death more than you love life."

PMW has documented that both Hamas and the PA in the past have glorified and encouraged Martyrdom death for Allah.
During the recent conflict, Hamas also encouraged and comforted
"every mother who has bid farewell to her beloved Martyrs" - her dead children - with the ideology that it is an honor to die:

"Adorn yourself with a crown with inlaid blood. This is the blood of honor, for honor will not be disgraced."

As this is read aloud, pictures of women embracing dead children and children being buried are shown.Hmmmmm..............Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us. ~ Golda Meir. Read the full story here.
