UNICEF, Gaza children & Mickey Mouse Lookalike

You only have to read the UNICEF Mission Statement to know that clearly, they are a complete failure in their mission to the children of Gaza. I know you saw the Mickey Mouse lookalike on Gaza children's TV network in recent weeks. Just when we thought the world had shamed the leadership sufficiently to pull the program, Hamas put their star back on TV. "Farfur" the Hamas Mickey Mouse encourages Gaza children with songs of jihad martyrdom, each verse spewing Islamic intentions towards their Jewish neighbhors.

Here's my concern: Hamas demonstrates a clear hatred of the children they have birthed, as well as the women in their communities. This so-called democratically elected governmental body in Gaza and the West Bank should be caring for their millions of poor households and strengthening communities with thriving families through education and charity. Instead they pour their energies into "metal foundaries" (that's what news media calls their bomb making factories), build expansive tunnels for gun running from Egypt to Gaza, run programs of recruitment for suicide bombers, and training camps for their "fighters." They sponsor jihadi "summer camps" for the children, teaching them how to take up arms against their Jewish neighbhors.

Having raised 3 children into adulthood in this city, I am horrified at the mothering instincts I see demonstrated in my neighbhors in Gaza. They willingly send their children to these Hamas-sponsored summer camps which only fuel the hatred in their children. The photos tell the real story.

Save the Children, Stop the Recruiters
I want to know what the international children protection organizations like UNICEF or SAVE THE CHILDREN are really doing these days. Are they just busy with the job of fund raising programs? Have they taken notice that Islamic groups are recruiting children for their suicide missions? Where is the world-wide outcry against the education of Islamic children that advocates hate against Jews, Israel, Christians and the West? Why are these same children's organizations not coming into "refugee" camps and protesting against groups like Islamic Jihad that target 10-year olds, encouraging them to grow up and strap belts of explosives to their waists so that they can kill Jewish children?

ISLAMIC CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
Islamic clerics and community leaders and terror recruiters of children should be brought to justice by international courts. These recruited and indoctrinated children have been convinced in their hearts and minds that what they are doing is good and righteous, and that they are pleasing their god Allah. Some political leaders and Islamic clerics have tried to convince the international public through the media that these terrorists are not Islamic! The fact is, these children grew up in Islamic homes, heard the anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish rhetoric by Islamic religious clerics from the pulpit of their local Mosque every Friday, read the Koran and Hadith and believed its teachings, while their terror group leaders promised them all the Islamic rewards of eternity - if they would just blow themselves up and kill some Israeli's in the process.

Yasser Arafat was one of those recruiters. He used his political weight to convince his people . . . I heard his speeches while my children were yet young. He once pleaded with Palestinian Mothers in a public speech over a decade ago, "Give me your children for the Palestinian cause..." They did. They dedicated their toddlers, sent them to terror summer camps in Gaza, and faithfully taught them how to give themselves to the "Palestinian cause."

There is even a Palestinian girls summer camp. Does anyone wonder why we now have girl suicide bombers? As a mother of three children and a grandmother of two, I am outraged at these actions.

CHILDREN BELIEVE THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIFE
Children have a deep loyalty to the roots of their family, community and faith. They see their older brothers and uncles in fatigues with masks and guns, reading, quoting and carrying their Koran, and want to grow up to be just like Uncle Mahmoud. These same children participate in public rallies on a regular basis, raising their voices, their fists, throwing rocks upon command. Below is a video in Gaza where the indoctrinated children dress up and put on a typical Hamas rally . . . see for yourself:

You can't tell me that these children did not believe in Allah or have a deep sense that they were pleasing him according to all they had been taught since childhood. They have a need to please their families and to prove their loyalties to Allah. Disillusioned or shamed girls are easy prey by these terror leaders to send them out on suicide missions. And therein is the Islamic crimes against humanity. Don't attach "extremism" to the word Islamic, as if to categorize them separately, thereby making it more palatable, because in light of the actions of recent years, no one believes it. None of these children that have blown themselves up and killed others were extreme. They were just children. One of these children recruited and sent to kill Israeli's in recent years was a mentally retarded teen. Thankfully, he was caught in time by astute Israeli border guards. Israeli Jews saved his life, I might add. Islamic clerics, UNICEF, SAVE THE CHILDREN, or even his mother were no where around to save his life. Now that's a crime . . . and my concern.

Save the children. . . please.
