Thursday Video: Hamas TV
Thu, 03/22/2007 - 1:40pm
In January 2004, Reem Riyashi blew herself up at a Gaza border crossing. She killed four Israelis. The 22-year-old also left her two children, aged 18 months and three years, motherless.
Yesterday, al-Aqsa TV, the television mouthpiece of Hamas, broadcast an imagined song from one of Riyashi's children to her dead mother as a music video during a children's program. Palestinian Media Watch has posted the clip, this week's Thursday Video, online. The video ends with the kid finding her mom's stash of explosives and vowing to follow her:
Send greetings to our Messenger [Muhammad] and tell him:
'Duha loves you.'
My love will not be [merely] words.
I am following Mommy in her steps.
Hamas, incidentally, runs the Palestinian education ministry.
