Another glimpse into a Palestinian summer camp proves that there is an organized Palestinian Authority (PA) effort to teach Palestinian children to fight Israel with violence and terror.

In a report by the Fatah Party’s Awdah TV, young boys are seen performing drills with assault rifles in a PA Security Forces and Fatah summer camp.

A PA Security Force member explains that there is “extensive cooperation” between the PA Security Forces and Fatah to “establish [summer] camps,” the goal of which is to teach youth “to deal with” Israel in different ways, including “in struggle” — the PA euphemism for fighting Israel, including with violence and terror.

Member of the PA Security Forces: “The role of the [PA] National Security [Forces], on the instructions of Gen. Nidal Abu Doukhan — National Security Forces Commander — is … to serve the national movement and our people. He directed extensive cooperation between us and [Fatah’s] district branches, and specifically the Central Hebron district, so that we would establish [summer] camps that serve the national unity and make the civilians feel safe…

We are under occupation and the occupation ([i.e., Israel] is always lying in ambush for us, and we need to deal with it intellectually, culturally, mentally, and in struggle, in every field.”

Palestinian Media Watch exposed similar drills with weapons and combat training taking place in other Palestinian camps to turn teens into terrorists:
