Postcards commemorating Issa
Khalil Shawkah, Hamas terrorist (see below), part of the “educational
material” produced by the Islamic Student Movement, which were also
found by Israeli soldiers. Such postcards also serve to glorify the
names of Palestinian “martyrs” and to disseminate messages to school
children preaching self-sacrifice and the heroic death in a suicide
attack (shahadah or istishhad) against Israel.

The inscription above the picture reads: “There is nothing
more certain other than that Glory [sic] bows down before [the Izz al-Din
al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas], and only before them.”
The captions to the left and right read: “You were the first to
die the holy death of a martyr. You shall always remain the first
in the heart of the [Palestinian] people.” |

Below are translations of some of the rhymed Arabic
inscriptions appearing on the postcard bearing the picture of Issa Khalil
Shawkah, a Hamas terrorist highly praised by the “sister” organization,
the Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
“Oh, Mother, the time
for leaving [this world] is quickly approaching.”
“Oh, Mother, do not speak of me should I fall and lie dead on the ground.”
“Go and prepare for me my shroud, you must not hesitate.”
“For death does not frighten me, as my heart’s most fervent wish is to
die the death of a holy martyr for the sake of Allah
(al-Istishhad).” |
