The Legions of Child Molesters

There's the dread impact on children whose childhoods are stolen from them through the predatory violence of sociopaths of all types. When ordinary people think of instances of child abuse most often threats, beatings and most dreadful of all the categories, pedophilic activities targeting children of all ages. Yet there are other ways in which children's lives become forfeit. Through the deadly, deliberate religious indoctrination of fanatical Islamists.

Wait: there is a religious element most often present, but at times, in the Middle East, and particularly from among the Palestinians there's also a political-ideological co-efficiency at work. Which results in Palestinian children being taught that their lives and those of their families are utter miseries, and their dreadful want of security, adequate food and housing has its genesis in the creation of the State of Israel.

Israel is indelibly indicted as an evil, blood-sucking presence, whose government and people are intent on destroying the Palestinian people, by first withholding from them all that is legitimately theirs by historic and legal inheritance, then by slowly strangling any opportunities for economic and social and political freedom and advancement in the world.

The enemy is obvious, the souls of the young are seared and scorched for life in the tenets of hatred as they are taught to become avenging angels whom God will be pleased to welcome.

Martyrdom becomes the most sacred aspiration of these children steeped deeply in the caustic cauldron of blame and hate. They become entranced with the myth of personal response resulting in the acceptance of the future role of martyr. For it will be by their unerring determination that they will rescue their families from want, and bring honour to their families' names, along with their own.

Just as they are taught to honour the names and deeds of other, earlier martyrs to the cause.

Yet another wonderful programme for children has been aired on Hamas TV (Al-Aqsa), an inspirational drafting mechanism meant to achieve success in instilling a longing for honour and martyrdom in impressionable young children. This latest production, out of Saudi Arabia was aired on October 12. It airs like a dramatic play with a chorus of children singing:
"We are not afraid of the soldiers, we are all steadfast. We are not afraid of the soldiers; we are all steadfast in this land...in this land... We demand our right, and we carry our school bags. We demand our right, and we carry our school bags. On our way we take the risk, and hide stones next to notebooks."
A sole voice: "My little brothers, how long will we continue to let the occupier kill us by hunger and siege?" The chorus responds: "By hunger and siege... By killing and destruction..."

"No to the oppression and to the occupation, oh child killer. No to the oppression and to the occupation, oh child killer. The army of immorality will not defeat the stone. The army of immorality will not defeat the stone no matter how much you shoot. We will continue to follow the footsteps of the martyr. In the battlefield of freedom, our determination is strong and resolute. By hatred and harm, the tragedy will be buried."
Preparing and grooming the children to accept the understanding that their implacable enemies wishing them death and destruction must be dealt with. Instilling in them the faith that their righteous determination is unassailable, that God will protect them. They become impervious to harm through their spiritual dedication to the cause.

The children are enamoured of the drama and the trust placed in them to aid their families, their community to overcome the malevolent intent of the enemy. This careful guiding hand to self-destruction through instilling a martyrdom-complex in the young does its work, stealing the futures of these children.

The psychopaths who lead these children into a life of violent revolt against a perceived enemy are really no little different than the psyche-wracked sexual predator who steals a child's innocence and leaves a hollow shell with a bleak future. While society stands back in horror at the violently sexual assaults children are submitted to by child predators, there appears to be little reaction to the subsuming of children's lives into the war of violent territorial reprisals practised by socially primitive groups of terrorists.

And while fundamentalist Islamist groups like Hamas, encouraged and abetted by fundamentalists in Iran, in Syria, in Saudi Arabia enlist the media and dramatic plays to capture the hearts and minds of impressionable young children to their cause, secular groups like Fatah practise their own brand of educational grooming to unrealistic, unreasonable, hate-driven excess.

Fatah-controlled Palestinian television recently featured a map in which the entirety of Israel is presented as Palestinian. Fatah is announcing their intent to demand far more for a future Palestinian State than merely the West Bank and Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. Quite in accord with their message to the Palestinian people that there is no legal entity titled Israel, there is only "Palestine" whose existence has been stifled by an impostor-state.

The Palestinian population has been encouraged to believe, both verbally and through visual presentations that they will prevail; their resolve will result in a world without Israel, when the geography is finally transformed and reverted back to Palestine. This is a message that is repeated time and again, in school books, children's programmes, crossword puzzles, video clips, formal symbols, school and street names ad infinitum.

Informing, securing and reinforcing an idea and an intent into reality.

While bargaining "in good faith" with Israel to mutually-agreed-upon exchanges that will ostensibly satisfy the needs of both - the existing nation and the nascent one - while assuring the world that it aspires to have its sovereign nation recognized alongside that of its neighbour, the agenda is otherwise for home consumption.

Terrorists' memories have been immortalized through the naming of streets within the PA. PA textbooks refer to the "Israel-is-Palestine" illusion.

"Palestine's war ended with a catastrophe that is unprecedented in history, when the Zionist gangs stole Palestine and expelled its people from their cities, their villages, their lands and their houses, and established the State of Israel." This blatantly unalloyed statement of false accusation and searing hatred exists in a 12th-grade instruction book within the PA.

Al Hayat al Jadida includes clues such as "a Palestinian city" in crossword puzzles, with the appropriate response being, Haifa, Lod and Ashkelon, all current Israeli cities existing within the pre-1967 borders of the State of Israel. Another clue identifies Yad Vashem Holocaust Centre as a "Jewish center for eternalizing the Holocaust and the lies".

Somewhat unsurprising since the Fatah head of the PA, Mahmoud Abbas's Master's thesis was on the myth of the Holocaust.

Raising generation after generation of hate-dedicated children taxed to graciously relinquish their lives for the greater glory of Palestinian sovereignty of the greater geography encompassing the Jewish state as well as those areas which the United Nations conferred to the Palestinians in 1948 and which they rejected outright.

The vilest of the vile.
