\nHeadline: Kids March with AK-47s at Palestinian Authority Summer Camp
\n
\nSub-headline: Program is for the children of individuals who are considered ‘martyrs and prisoners
\n
\nThe closing celebration for a Palestinian Authority summer camp featured children wearing military uniforms and posing with automatic weapons, according to images aired on Palestinian television in June and republished by an Israeli watchdog group on Monday.
\n
\nMore than 150 children attended the summer camp hosted by the Palestinian Authority. The program is for the children of individuals who are considered “martyrs and prisoners” by the West Bank government, according to Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli group that monitors Palestinian media.
\n
\nThe camp was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority National Security Forces and a youth movement created by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority’s president, called “the Lion Cubs and Flowers of Palestine.”
\n
\nPalestinian Media Watch reported that top PA and Fatah officials attended the closing ceremony, including Akram Rajoub, the Nablus district governor, and Jihad Ramadan, the secretary of the Nablus chapter of Fatah.
\n
\n“Having summer camps for military training and naming sporting events after terrorist murderers are two of the ways the PA speaks loudly to its children,” said Itamar Marcus, the founder and director of Palestinian Media Watch, in a statement.
\n
\n“The PA message to U.S. leaders in Washington is that they want peace. The PA message to their kids is that killing Israelis is heroic. It’s time the U.S. figured out which is the true message.”
\n
\nPalestinian Media Watch said the camp is one of several recent examples of the Palestinian Authority promoting violence in the West Bank.
\n
\nAl-Asima, a newspaper supplement distributed with the official PA paper, published an image in May that referenced Israel’s independence day and stated, “What was taken by force, can only be restored by force.”
\n
\nFatah also posted an image on its official Facebook page of a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades with a missile and the message: “We promise that we will meet the enemy with two weapons in our hands – faith in Allah and in the inevitable victory, and the weapon with which we will confront our Zionist enemy.”
\n
\nMarcus said lawmakers should be aware of the Palestinian Authority’s promotion of violence.
\n
\n“Whenever PMW meets with government officials we alert them it is more important to listen to what Mahmoud Abbas and the PA are saying to their children than it is to listen to what PA officials say to them,” said Marcus.

\nPalestinian Terror Attack
\nRenews Calls for Reduction in Aid

\n
\nA recent bill introduced in congress by Rep. Ted Yoho (R., Fla.) addressed cutting aid to the Palestinian Authority. Yoho’s bill, introduced in September, would freeze financial assistance until the PA agrees to stop using the money to pay salaries for convicted terrorists (as exposed and documented by PMW- PMW Ed.)…
\n
\nAfter Abbas’s denunciation of the latest synagogue attack, the official Facebook page for his political party Fatah reportedly posted a video and statement suggesting that his condemnation of terrorism was insincere… One of Abbas’s advisers praised the terror attacks on Thursday, according to Palestinian Media Watch.
\n
\n“Blessed be your quality weapons, the wheels of your cars, your axes, and kitchen knives,” said Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, according to a PMW translation. “By Allah, these are stronger than the arsenals of our enemy, because [they are being used] according to Allah’s will.”
\n
\nIn the days leading up to Wednesday’s attack, PA officials had been praising and encouraging anti-Israel violence. Abbas himself described the terrorist who attacked Glick (Israeli Temple Mount activist… wounded in a Palestinian terrorist attack late last month) as a martyr who was “defending our people’s rights and holy places” (as PMW reported here - PMW Ed.).
