lgf: Hamas Child Star: 'Every Palestinian Hopes to Be a Martyr':

lgf: Hamas Child Star: 'Every Palestinian Hopes to Be a Martyr':

"GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Saraa Barhoum picked at the buttons on her pink bellbottom jeans as she twisted on a chair inside the bustling new Hamas television headquarters. The afternoon light bounced off the sparkly outlines of butterflies on her frilly top, and a colorful hijab framed her 11-year-old face. Saraa wants to be a doctor. If she can’t, the young star of Hamas television’s best-known children’s show said, she’d be proud to become a martyr. Saraa says little Jewish girls should be forced from their homes in Israel so that Palestinians can return to their land."

If this is the enemy we face, how do you win a war against 11 year old girls that want to die, that wants to be a martyr. What kind of sickness encourages her to be a martyr and not a doctor.
