Hamas’ Child Abuse
The educational content of the Hamas children’s Web site Al-Fateh (The Conqueror) is not a form of pedagogy, but an “indoctrination to suicide bombing,” said David Oman, the director of communications for the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-SE) on Tuesday at a press conference at the Regent Hotel.

The educational material on the site contravenes “all of the International Educational Standards based on UNESCO Resolutions,” noted the study. Moreover, the authors of the study wrote that the site violates the International Convention on the Rights of the Child affirming that “every child has the inherent right to life,” by inciting children to commit suicide bombings.
The pro-violence ideology of Hamas will have “implications for the West and Israel,” said Oman.
“What will happen in 10 or 15 years from these children after their exposure to this type of hate?” asked Oman.
The Iranian-Hamas connection appears on Al-Fateh. The study highlighted the role of the founder of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, in stoking hatred against the West and Israel.
“The Web site often uses stories of shahids [martyrs] or their last wills and testaments to convey the message of violent jihad till victory or death - a message found in the teachings of Ayatollah Khomeini,” wrote the authors.
“Child abuse” was the term Oman invoked to describe the effect of Hamas’s educational site on adolescents and children.
