Gazan Mother Literally Cheers ‘Martyrdom’ of Her Four Sons — Trend of Giving Lives to Kill Jews
The decades of Palestinian indoctrination that death for “Palestine” as a “Martyr” is wonderful and an ideal to strive for has been successful.
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) has documented numerous parents cheering the death of their children, many who were killed attempting to commit terrorist acts and murder Jewish civilians.
The below mother from Gaza is an example of this brainwashing.
Having lost the last of her four sons, she praised Allah, expressed pride, and cheered:
Mother shouts: ” Praise Allah! We are proud and consider them [my sons] Martyrs with Allah. We consider them Martyrs with Allah. Praise Allah! …
Man: “How many Martyrs”?
Mother: “Four, and I’m proud of them! I don’t have even one son now. That’s it. All four are gone. We consider them Martyrs with Allah.”
Man: “Why are you happy?”
Mother: “Why am I cheering? Because my children are in Paradise. I will join them if it pleases Allah. This is an honor for me!”

When Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Iran on July 31, 2024, his daughter-in-law “couldn’t stop smiling” because in her words: Martyrdom is “a wedding [to virgins in Paradise], not a funeral”:
PMW has documented that Palestinian teens wish for Martyrdom and leave wills should they succeed in killing Jews (and dying in the process), instructing their parents and peers what to do and how to react upon their heroic death:
Teen terrorist Milad Al-Ra’i sent song to friend in chat:
Lyrics: “Be well, my mother,
I will achieve Martyrdom and I will anger the enemies
I will be an advocate [in Heaven] on the day of the meeting
To the pool of [heavenly] waters of true Prophet [Muhammad]”
Text messages with his friend follow the song:
Milad Al-Ra’i: “When I will have just died as a Martyr publish this.”
Friend: “Allah willing, my brother.”
Friend: “You want to leave me?”
Milad Al-Ra’i: “Just come to my grave and tell me whatever you want, think of me as listening to you, and I will be your advocate [on Judgement Day]. What do you want that is better than that?”

And, of course, it is important to note that the above took place before October 7. For evidence of Palestinians being taught to emulate and become “Martyrs” who die while attempting to kill Jewish civilians, click here.

The Jewish People Perform Another Miracle
JNS.org – This Oct. 7 will not only be an anniversary of tears, of pure contrition, even if the memory is burning as the people of Israel live. As to how, it wasn’t at all obvious. Our whole history is made of miracles—from the splitting of the sea to escape from the Egyptians to the Inquisition to the pogroms to the thousand other genocidal attacks to which the Jews have been subjected. In every case, the results are always incredible and surprising, especially for how we have emerged active, faithful to our Torah tradition and committed to the return to Jerusalem until we made it happen.
The War of Independence in 1948 was fought by concentration-camp veterans, yet we defeated all the Arab armies, united in hatred, who marched against us. Later, in 1967, 1973 wars were won by a hair’s breadth with miraculous strokes of imagination and leaders who gave birth to ideas that people would have expected. No one would have ever bet a euro, penny or shekel on the idea that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and his entire hierarchy could be eliminated, petrifying Iran, especially since we have already reduced its other favorite proxy, Hamas, to pieces. And now we have bombed Iran’s other proxy, the Houthis, some 2,000 kilometers away, destroying the airport from which they receive their weapons and aid from the ayatollahs. The Islamic Republic’s leader, Ali Khamenei, is reportedly hiding underground, the Iraqi and Syrian Shi’ites are waiting to see if they are next, and cities controlled by Tehran are shaking.
As President Joe Biden said, it is a measure of justice, but one that Israel has undertaken in an impossible fashion, defending its citizens amid a thousand prohibitions with determination and without fear. Only in this way can a 76-year-old young state, which has been attacked from all sides, defend itself. The country’s existence is the latest chapter in the history of a people born many millennia ago in the Land of Israel, who are finally back home and defending their state.
The war is certainly not over, as Hezbollah reportedly had 100,000 fighters. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows that he must see this fight through to the end, despite the international pressure to which Israel has been subjected for nearly a year. Israel’s leadership understands that its very existence is at definitive risk if there is no “new Middle East” in the aftermath of Oct. 7.
While previous generations and Israeli leaders hoped that peace agreements would establish peace in the region, today’s leaders know that there is also a need for battle to stop those who, dominated by absurd fanatical and religious beliefs, wish to kill you. (After all, what do the Houthi rebels in Yemen have to do with the Jews and Israel?)
This is the lesson of our time—not just for Israel and the Jewish people but for everyone. The Jewish people are writing a new page in history, one in which the free world must write and fight alongside them, as it is a battle for the survival of Western ideals. Israel has eliminated the two most dangerous terrorist groups in the world—Hamas and Hezbollah—with operations that will set a precedent for decades. And it challenges Iran. I would like to hear the applause, please.
