Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, has published an official announcement claiming it's responsibility for the deadly terrorist attack in kibbutz Metser, in which 5 Israelis were murdered, including a mother and her two small children aged 4yrs and 5yrs. Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades declared that they would continue carrying out such terror attacks, including suicide bomb attacks and the murder of Israeli children.
Following the attack on Kibbutz Metser, several Fatah operatives attempted to deny the involvement of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the attack.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is classified as a terrorist organization not only by Israel, but also by the United States and the European Union.
The following are extracts from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announcement, as it was published on the Fatah organization's official website:
"We confirm our responsibility for the courageous, qualitative operation in the settlement of Metser, north of Tul-Karem, which was established on stolen Palestinian lands. One of our fighters invaded on the evening of November 11, 2002, killing and wounding several Zionist colonizers, and retreating safely under the grace and the protection of Allah
"We have announced, with the establishment of the Brigades, that our struggle is continued in all its forms. We confirm our intention to walk the path of struggle and self sacrifice [suicide attacks] for Allah
"We will continue to strike in any place, targeting their children as well We swear to persist with these suicide attacks
"The popular army, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, November 12, 2002."

Palestinian Children Express Yearning for Shahada and Hate of America
By Itamar Marcus
Children in the PA are brought up to see death for Allah, Shahada, as something expected of them. On Today's children's page, the Palestinian Authority daily Al-Ayyam published a poem written by a 12-year-old expressing this longing. Also on the children's page, a political cartoon is published equating an Israeli hand grenade and death with an American Hamburger. Both these sentiments, yearning for Shahada and hatred of America are integral parts of PA ideology and the children's opinions are indicative of this ideology being passed on to the next generation.
My Land
By Omar Ali Amda (6th grade)
I have responded to my country's call,
My honor shall not fall,
My Shahada [dying for Allah] is in my hands.
I shall redeem my country with my soul
And protect my religion with my heart.
I am not troubled by the breaking of my bones,
I am not bothered by the demolition of my house.
Oh, occupier, hear me:
I am Arab, I am Arab.
[Al-Ayyam, November 13, 2002: Children's page]
Anything else is a waste of time.
My goodness!
Interesting article. I can see two parallels.
In a less destructive way, those Berkley children are being targeted in furtherance of a political cause. Their lives are being lost, in one case in a act of instant catastrophe, in the other just through a wearing down of their individuality. In both cases in furtherance of political objectives. Theyre cannon fodder.
The early indoctrination is certainly reminiscent of techniques throughout the Arab world (here too, in some quarters). Like a Hamas summer camp, "Kill the Jews, Kill the Americans" (sorry if I left anyone out, but rest assured you're included too).
Little Skyler, 5, doesnt know the president of Iraq, and says, "My mom might know". Soon, hell learn the answers dont come from Mom (or Dad) but from New School director Susan Hagen, or Nancy Pelosi across the bay, or Hillary in NY. A shame Mom is too stupid to recognize the loss to Skyler, and to Mom, and Dad, and freedom. Kids really need to learn (be taught) how to think.
Palestinian Children Express Yearning for Shahada (dying for allah) and Hate of America
| CNN reports:
Arafat condemned the killings and said he was setting up a committee to investigate.... "Even the Palestinians behave like they understand they've gone one bridge too far," said one senior Israeli military source. "The Al Aqsa say they are sorry; they didn't mean it." |

Something to think about with regard to the Md sniper.
Ask them WHY?
Something to think about with regard to the Md sniper.
The original report at the IDF website says: Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claim: "We will also target your children"
So they read their "agreement" and decided that there was no harm, no foul, since they only agreed to cease suicide bombings in Israel (till the next time) and this was a gunman.
The distinction of a sick culture. Just what kind of deal they were doing with the EU I don't know, but a few dead Israeli's won't interfere, I'm sure.
Well, that's how Syria got rid of the PLO (Hama), Jordan too.
I wouldn't support it, better just to move the people.
Hi Primus,
I'm confused. Your response seems to be a off-topic. Are you responding to a different thread somewhere?For what it's worth, leader of the Al-Muhajiroun group, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, has issued An Order to Kill Gay Muslims in Britain. Jews are not the only target of Islamists -- everyone is.
