According to a recent report published by Palestinian Media Watch, young children studying in elementary schools across the Palestinian Authority schools are taught to glorify the October 7th massacre, which resulted in the slaughter of 1,200 Israeli men, women and children and the abduction of 251 others to Gaza. Palestinian Media Watch wrote a detailed report on this subject, which they have not released to the public, but they did release excerpts in a recent press release.
For example, a young girl studying at the Kharas Girls’ Elementary School in Hebron declared: “That day went down in history (i.e., Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel)… We woke up to the sounds of laughter. There are those among us who thought he was dreaming, but it is a beautiful dream that he never wants to wake up from… On Saturday [October 7], the people who resist returned to their land … It was impossible to express the emotions in our hearts, and we never imagined such pride in our people on our faces. The sense of honor that we felt is indescribable.”
A young Palestinian girl studying at the Shweikeh Mixed Elementary School in Hebron similarly stated: “October, month of blood, you have arrived, welcome.
October, do not leave easily.
October, teach them a lesson to be delivered by teachers of revenge; justice has witnesses.
We came to you (i.e., Israel) in multitudes,
Open your door, we are death.
We will let you taste eternity in fire [of hell].
Oh, world! What do you want the response to be? Candles, prayers, and flowers?
We will respond to blood with blood and remove the dust of oppressive history with black gunpowder.
Only blood do we see as an ally,
And we will cool the fire in our heart with the body parts and screams of soldiers.
Open your door, we are death, or close it – we will get to you, the target is identified.”
Another Palestinian girl studying at the Askelan Mixed Elementary School declared: “Allahu Akbar! This is the [Al-Aqsa] Flood. Long live the lions [of Hamas] and down with tyranny.
Today, we raid them [Israelis], and they don’t raid us. Nothing will stop [us] if faith calls…
We long for Martyrdom, and our enemy fears the encounter. He is surrounded by walls.
They [Israelis] pretend to be brave, but when they see the faces of the lions – they are all rats.”
Student Riyan Yusef Malkiya, studying at the Sinjil Boys’ High School, declared: “Last Saturday morning, the Flood of Palestinian Resistance toward our occupied lands began (i.e., Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack), and our Resistance succeeded in igniting a dream of more than 75 years through the return to our occupied lands by force. October 7 will be a date that historians will mark in the coming years, and it is a historic day that brought us joy and restored our hope for liberation and independence.”
A Palestinian girl studying at the Siris Elementary School for Girls declared: “The Al-Aqsa Flood operation (i.e., Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel) is a large-scale military operation that was carried out by the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation on October 7, 2023. The operation succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the Israeli enemy and raised the morale of the Palestinian people.”
And another girl studying at the Palestine Girls Elementary School proclaimed, “Good morning, Gaza, a morning of victory, Gaza, a morning of glory and fame, a morning of heroic martyrs, a morning of child martyrs. Good morning, oh people of the Resistance (Hamas), as you play the anthem of victory with bullets and rifles. Good morning, O you who stand guard like lions in tunnels and trenches, Good morning, O men of heroism, O men of power.” She recited this speech at a special event at school honoring Hamas and celebrating the October 7th massacre.
