Palestinian Kids Taught to Hate Israel in UN-Funded Camps, Clip Shows

(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - New video footage shows Palestinian children in summer camps run by the UN being taught that they will one day conquer Israeli cities by force. The video, screened on Israel Channel 2 news last week, shows footage from UNRWA summer programs in Balata near Nablus in the West Bank and in Gaza. In one scene, Amina Hinawi, director of the Gaza camp, explains: "We teach the children about the villages they came from.... This way, every child will be motivated to return to their original village." The U.S. was the largest single donor to UNRWA in 2011, with $239 million, followed by the European Commission's $175 million. In another scene, a teacher asks the students, "Do you want to return to Jaffa?" They respond enthusiastically, "Yes!" "Haifa?" "Yes!" These are cities inside modern sovereign Israel. A burka-clad speaker tells a circle of young campers, "With God's help and our own strength we will wage war." In another scene a young girl sings to a circle of her clapping friends: "I will not forget my promise to take back my land." An older camper sings: "We are filled with rage."
