January 26, 2010 - A Hamas television program for children once again is promoting martyrdom as a positive goal for Palestinian Authority children in Gaza. The latest episode of "Tomorrow's Pioneers," broadcast last week on January 22 on Al Aqsa (Hamas) TV, features a young host asking a 10-year-old girl whether she was afraid of dying last year during the fighting between IDF soldiers and Hamas terrorists. "How was it for you during the war? Were you afraid that you would....leave this world?" the young host asks. "No, I wasn't afraid," the little girl answers proudly. "I wished for Shahada (martyrdom) – Shahada for Allah." "How wonderful. Even this little girl --- how old are you?" "Ten." The child host praises her caller, pointing out to the children viewing the program, "She is not more than ten years old, and wants to die as a Shahida (martyr) for Allah. We all wish for this," she tells her audience. Click below for story.
