Gaza kid festival has jihad theme

In the West a children's carnival is a family event where the kids eat cotton candy, go on rides and just have good, clean fun. In Gaza, a children's carnival is an indoctrination event where the kids ride mock-up tanks, wear pseudo-suicide vests, 'shoot' imitation AK-47s, and find a 'Jew' to kill as their parents look on proudly.

Oh, there's still the similarity in the Gaza children's carnival to those in the West. The kids are dressed up, the girls adorn their hair with flowers, flags are waved, loud music is played and songs are sung.

In Gaza, the songs and dances, as well as the musical acts are about bombs and guns and killing Israeli soldiers.

This was the 8th annual Khan Yunis festival. Hundreds of kids watched the show in which other kids play the role of Israeli citizen killers. The little urchins wave guns and shout "Allahu Akbar" while other sweetheart children dressed as militants simulate the abduction of an Israeli soldier. (They thankfully leave out the subsequent torture scenes that generally accompany an abduction, which is then followed by an execution.)

"Can I get an 'Allahu Akbar'?"
Another scene is a child dressed as an Israeli soldier who is kidnapped by other little boys dressed as militants passing through a tunnel.

Watching from the peanut gallery are two young girls who scream: "We are not afraid. The young people of Jerusalem are staging a knife revolution."

The festival was organized by the Islamic Society in Gaza and has become an Islamic tradition every year. This year's event comes after another round of violence along the Gaza/Israeli border, where there have been several instances of Hamassholes firing upon Israeli soldiers. 

And the Palestinians blame the Jews for the violence.

It's as if the Old Testament doesn't exist and Israel was never the land of the Jews.
