Young children convinced of death as a shahid as ideal. Two 11-year-old girls articulate their personal goal to become shahid [martyrs for Allah], explaining that "all Palestinian children" see Shahada [death for Allah] - because of its promised grand Afterlife - as more worthwhile than living.
A young boy leaves a farewell letter to his parents and goes off to seek Shahada [death for Allah], describing the death he aspires as "sweet." This PA indoctrination clip is designed to offset a child's natural fear of death, by depicting Shahada as heroic and tranquil.

'I will eat the Jews'

since you are a rabbit?
A rabbit is a [nickname]
for a bad person and coward.
And I, Assud, will finish off
the Jews and eat them,
Allah willing.
The PA continues to express pride in educating children to aspire to Shahada [martyrdom], portraying it as a national achievement. The Director of the Palestinian Children's Aid Association candidly reiterated this PA educational policy, on PA TV.
