Great news: Hamas indoctrinates another 100,000 kids

The IDF reports that Hamas has indoctrinated another 100,000 children at its summer camps during the recently concluded summer season. And Islamic Jihad indoctrinated another 10,000.

This year, as in every year, the Hamas terrorist organization ran programs for both children and teenagers. According to Hamas, approximately 100,000 youth participated in the summer camps, a number similar to that of last year. The Islamic Jihad terrorist organization also ran 51 summer camps, in which another 10,000 children participated.

The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center has announced that Hamas considers these summer camps to be an important tool for spreading its ideology, at the center of which is radical Islam and Jihad. Hamas Spokesperson, Ismail Riduan, recently claimed that the purpose of these camps is “to raise a true generation of children fighting for the sake of their nation’s interest” and “to continue to remember their goals including Jerusalem and the prisoners.”

The summer camps that took place this year had paramilitary training led by Hamas militants. Along with the training itself, praise of Jihad and of dying for the sake of Allah were repeated. Other ideas which stood out this year were identification with Turkey over the flotilla incident, calling for the release of Hamas prisoners (the camp’s children carried posters of them, see picture) and expressing hatred toward Israel and the Jews.

What could go wrong?
