As-Aqsa TV (Hamas-Gaza) aired an interview last week with Rajaa Al-Halabi, head of the Hamas Women’s movement, in which she boasted that the highest goal of Hamas women is to martyr themselves, even if it means leaving their children behind. In a video of the interview translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Al-Halabi can be seen saying: “Let me begin by saying that the word ‘martyrdom-seeker’ means that when a girl sets out, she has only one thing on her mind – to meet her Lord by means of her blood and body parts.” “If any of the women of Hamas had the opportunity to be martyrdom-seekers – not a single one of them would back down. Many women wish to be in the place of martyrdom-seekers, or together with them.” “Most kindergartens (in Gaza) belong to our sisters in Hamas. Children are raised from a young age in this culture. Children are nurtured from infancy to love jihad, to want to meet Allah, and to love fighting the enemy.” “It’s no surprise that women set out (to blow themselves up), leaving their children behind, because they know that even if they would raise their children, they would raise them for these moments – to be martyrdom-seekers for the sake of Allah.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
