Walla Yousra

Palestinian children aspire to death as Martyrs
PA TV June 2002
Host: You described Shahada as something beautiful.
Do you think it is beautiful?
Walla age 11: Shahada (martyrdom) is a very, very beautiful thing.
Everyone yearns for Shahada.
What could be sweeter than going to paradise?
Host: What is better, peace and full rights
For the Palestinian people or Shahada?
Walla: Shahada.
I will achieve my rights after becoming a Shaid (martyr).
Host: OK Yussra, would you agree with that?
Yussra age 11: Of course Shahada is sweet.
We don't want this world, we want the Afterlife.
We benefit not from this life, but from the Afterlife.
Host: Do you actually love death?
Yussra: Death is not Shahada
Host: No, I mean the absence after death
Yussra: No child loves death.
The children of Palestine adopted the concept
that Shahada is very good.
Every Palestinian child, say someone aged 12, says: O Lord, I would like to become a Shahid.
Host: We've got a call, Sabrine from Ramallah.
Sabrine: Ayyat Al-Akhras was 17 when she blew herself up.
Host: Sabrine, are you for it or against it?
Sabrine: Of course I support blowing up, it is our right.
Host: Sabrine; now is it natural
That Ayyat Al-Akhras blows herself up?
Sabrine: Of course it's natural.
