Kindergarten graduation ceremony in Gaza

In a kindergarten graduation ceremony featured yesterday on Palestinian television, boys outfitted with toy machine guns, camouflage fatigues and ski masks marched to a military beat and declared their "most lofty aspiration" to be "death for the sake of Allah."

Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV reported the ceremony of kindergarteners of the Islamic Association in Gaza.

The video, with translation, was made available by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, in Washington, D.C.

The host of the show urges viewers, "Stay with us to watch this performance by the children of Palestine." The boys chant:

Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. Who is your role model? The Prophet. Who is your role model? The Prophet. What is your path? Jihad. What is your path? Jihad. What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah. What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah.

Hamas, which won a majority in the Palestinian parliament in January 2006 elections, officially is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Responsible for scores of suicide bombings, shooting attacks and rocket firings, the group's official charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

As 'WND reported earlier this month, Palestinian children are being entertained and indoctrinated on television by a Mickey Mouse-knockoff who teaches them to fight for Israel's destruction and Islam's domination over the entire world.

"We, tomorrow's pioneers, will restore to this nation its glory, and we will liberate Al-Aqsa, with Allah's will, and we will liberate Iraq, with Allah's will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers," the mouse character says.

WND reported in March an online forum tied to the website of Hamas posted a photo of a little girl in a combat vest and the head band of the terrorist Al-Qassam Brigades.

"Have you seen the new child martyr who will soon shake Israel [to the core]?" says the caption, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute blog

Future 'martyr'

The message accompanying the photo on the Shabakat Falastin Lilhiwar online forum says the girl "is part of the Muslim generation which will go down in history [as a generation] … that refused to [accept] humiliation and defeat."

Hamas launched a children's website in 2002, encouraging kids to follow the example of terrorist suicide bombers.

WND reported last year the children's website featured comic strips encouraging hatred of Israelis, who are defined as "evil Zionists."
