Palestinian children act out terror attack in Gaza play

articlemain

Young Palestinian children have been filmed performing a play in which they simulate terrorist attacks against Israelis.

The play was staged for a festival in the Gaza Strip this week, and was broadcast on a Hamas television channel dedicated to culture, available in Gaza and the West Bank.

In one clip of the play, which was aired on Israel’s Channel 2, a young girl armed with a knife attempts to free a Palestinian prisoner from an Israeli jail by stabbing the guards. She is shot and falls to the ground amid cries and screams from the audience. Other little girls then approach and cry over her body.

“Do not be angry with her,” a voice says. “She is your blood, your flesh and your honour.”

According to the Daily Mail, the British charity Interpal, formally known as the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund, donated £6,800 to the festival. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is reportedly a long-time supporter of Interpal.
