for indoctrinating school children with extremist Islamic messages
praising the Jihad, dying in a violent or terrorist action for the sake
of Allah and
carrying out suicide attacks against Israel. |

Above is the front cover of a notebook called “The Diary
of Righteous Youth,” published by the Islamic Student Movement,
Bethlehem Schools (a student movement linked to Hamas and which
was responsible for the “Information Card” detailed above). The insignia
visible in the picture is similar to that of the Moslem Brotherhood,
differing in that the Qur’an has in this case been replaced with the
Dome of the Rock and the map of “Greater Palestine” – both superimposed
on two crossed swords. Similar notebooks are distributed in
Bethlehem high schools where the Islamic Student Movement operates.
It serves as one of their many “educational aids” produced
to indoctrinate Hamas messages. It is reasonable to assume that such
notebooks are also distributed in the rest of the PA-administered territories.

The Holy War for the
Sake of Allah as a Method and Program of Action

Information about the Islamic Student Movement

From the information about the Islamic Student Movement
which appears on the second page of the notebook:
“We are an organized framework for school children. We have their interests
at heart and try to help them deal with the problems they face at school.
We help them examine their faith and sharpen their religious and cultural
awareness.”
“The Movement’s worldview considers the holy Qur’an as
the students’ Law [both religious and civil] and complete way of life,
conducted according to the Qur’an and the venerable tradition (Sunnah)
of the Prophet. It believes in Allah as its God; in Islam as its religion;
in the Prophet as His messenger, commander and guide; in the holy and
blessed Qur’an as its Law and in the Jihad for the sake of Allah
as its method and program of action...”

The insignia printed on the cover also appears on every
page. At the bottom are a variety of “wise words and sayings” intended,
in fact, to indoctrinate the students with Hamas messages.
They are mainly educational and religious in nature and have Islamic origins;
however, they are interwoven with messages encouraging the Jihad, glorifying
the shaheeds, and bearing radical Islamic political messages. |

The love
of death for the sake of Allah, from a poem purportedly written by
Dr. Yussuf al-Kardawi [also spelled Yussef al-Qardawi]. |

The notebook contains excerpts from a poem purportedly written
by Yussuf al-Kardawi (1) reading
as follows:
“Oh, Moslem Brother, wherever you are, mount the hill and shout out /
raise the Qur’an, the Law for all times, make your voice heard throughout
the world: We are Moslems, / Moslems, Moslems, Moslems; where
justice and truth are found, so are we found / we will accept death willingly,
we will refuse to be humbled; for, for the sake of Allah, death
is pleasure.” [Note: Yussuf al-Kardawi’s other quotations dealing
with hope as the force motivating the struggle for realizing the duty
and for the Jihad appear on other pages of the notebook.] |

Yussuf al-Kardawi is an Egyptian religious scholar whose name has been
associated with the Moslem Brotherhood and who lives and works in Qatar
where he lectures at the local university and appears regularly on Qatari
television. He is widely recognized as the leading religious authority
in the Suni Moslem world. While considering Islam the solution to Arab
strategic and social problems, he views Israel as an imperialist,

Use of
a Moslem tradition (hadith) to inculcate hatred of the Jews:
Lack of faith in Jews with a reminder of their “lamentable condition.” |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
One of the sayings of the Moslem tradition is: “When Ibn
Abbas [one of the most reliable transmitters of the Moslem tradition]
heard that the Jews say: We do not whisper [like Satan, evil thoughts
that enter our minds] when we pray, [Ibn Abbas] replied: Heaven forbid,
how could this [the conventionally accepted] Satan whisper to that Satan
[i.e., the Jews] when he [the former] conspires to find a place that has
been built, whereas he is not in the least interested in a destroyed place
[i.e., the destroyed Jewish Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and by extension
any place in which Jews live or are found, reflected in their lamentable
condition. Thus, the quote reflects a message of both lack of
faith in Jews and preaches hatred toward them as well as describing
a scornful attitude toward their lamentable condition following the destruction
of their Temple]. |

Quote
from an anonymous poet praising the Jihad and love of death. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| “The poet says: Strip off your garments of sorrow
and despair / and don the garment of the Jihad;
be active and not idle / make Death your vocation; and know
how to take it into yourself / if there is no escape from
it, and be not a coward.” |

Quote
from the Qur’an used in the past by Palestinian suicide bombers
(who survived) to justify their actions. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
? It is written in the Qur’an [Surah 4, Verse 69]: “He who
obeys Allah and His messenger [Mohammed] will be rewarded with a life
of comfort, that is [a life with]: prophets, the righteous, “martyrs”
[alshuhada’] and those who do good deeds. Indeed, it is best
to live among them.” |
| |
|
|
| |
|
| Note: The above is a verse from the Qur’an
used in the past by surviving Palestinian suicide bombers
to justify their actions. They mentioned the rewards they expect
to receive if they die during the attack: to live with the prophets,
the righteous and the other shaheeds in Paradise. For instance, |
| Newspaper article about a Palestinian minor living
in Qalqiliya [also spelled Kalkiliya] who adopted the idea of meeting
the shaheeds in Paradise as motivation and a reward for carrying
out a suicide attack against Israel; he eventually decided not to
carry it out. |
