Terror summer camps in Gaza, Hamas indoctrinates children into evil

Hamas uses summer camps for Palestinian children as a method of "promoting the resistance and Jihadi culture" among Gazan youths, President Isaac Herzog revealed in an interview with NBC's Meet The Press program on Sunday. The president unveiled a secret document written by Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades last July, detailing the terrorist group's self-proclaimed goals for the summer camps it operated across the Gaza Strip.

One of the goals mentioned in the Hamas document, gathered by Israeli forces operating in Gaza, is to "promote the culture of resistance and the values of Jihad among the children." Also included as goals are the "spiritual, mental and physical preparation of children to serve the resistance in the future" and "to contribute to the militarization of society through training."

Some of the activities for the children in the summer camps included shooting practice, which included simulations of terror attacks as well as rigorous courses, to prepare the Gazan kids to fight for terrorist groups against Israel.

According to Herzog, the summer camps were held by Hamas inside military sites belonging to the terrorist organization. "The document clearly shows the spread of the values of 'jihad' and 'resistance' just means terrorism," Herzog told NBC. "It shows how to turn a summer camp into a military exercise...this is taking place all over the Gaza Strip.

That agenda has been marching on for generations already and seems well on track as ever with internal efforts alone.

I guess it is well beyond the memory hole event horizon to remember how Israel got so hardline in the first place.

The generational terrorism is the plan and goes on regardless of conditions sometimes seemingly just to prove ignoring it won't make it go away either though escalating at any hint of a path forward or softening of Palestinian or Israeli sentiments.

People suffer under the delusion that some fruitful and mutually beneficial negotiations are in the cards with these extremist while refusing to accept what their endgame is.

There is no possibility of peace, just the tolerance and absorption of continuous acts of agression which is untenable nonsense.
