 Incitement to Terror and Hatred:
 
Extremist Islamic messages encouraging hatred, violence and terror against Israel
are inculcated into high school students in Bethlehem and other parts of the Palestinian Authority-administered territories by the Hamas civilian infrastructure (the da’wah).
 
 
Above are pictures of Hamas activists who died in targeted killings or while carrying out terrorist attacks (including suicide bombers) against Israel. They appear on the back cover of the student “Instruction Card” distributed by the branch of the Hamas Islamic Student Movement operating in the Bethlehem region. The inscription at the top of the page is a verse from the Qur’an [the Moslem holy book”] which explains the connection between the pictures and includes a message which, in practical terms, encourages Palestinian youth to join the ranks of the terrorists attacking Israel.
