A
Summer Camp Designed in Hell

The World Court at The Hague
recently ruled that the Israeli government should raze the security barrier
it has been building along its pre-1967 border. The International Court of
Justice cited several reasons including violations of international and
humanitarian laws. While this decision, arguably mired in politically driven
ideology, is being rebuked by the Israeli government of Ariel Sharon – the
ICJ’s opinion is not binding – we are seeing an even more disturbing element
exposing its head in the Palestinian held territories: youth camps from
Hell.
It needs to be pointed out that where portions of the security barrier have
been completed the instances of terrorist activity have gone from 600 per
year to none. That’s right, zero. That statistic alone should elicit the
common sense thought from everyone around the world that the security
barrier works. It is saving lives. It is deterring terrorism. It thwarts
those who possess the mindset that would see them strap a pound of C4 to
one’s chest and target innocents trying to go about their lives. It deters
terrorists operating in the bastardized name of religion from violently
splattering themselves and unsuspecting innocents all over the walls, floors
and ceilings of privately owned establishments and on streets throughout
Israel. It is an effective tool against terrorism, at least for the time
being. 600 per year to zero. Think about it.
Recently, I was disgusted to read about a summer camp program for the youth
being raised in the Palestinian territories. This camp – a camp boasting a
compliment of children as young as 10-years old, where half attending are
under the age of 15 – offers a course syllabus on how to kidnap and slay
Jews. To be sure, a summer camp that even allowed children to read about
such things here in the United States would incite a fury of condemnations
from the general public and initiate a plethora of legal maneuvers that
would probably see the camps administration led away in handcuffs for
abusing children. Of course this wouldn’t apply in California, as it seems
they have a different sense of morality. This as witnessed at the UC Irvine
campus when graduating students wore armbands to show their support for
Palestinian terror groups.
This
"camp” sees young children donning military fatigues and AK-47 rifles, in
many cases bigger than they are. They are instructed on how to assemble
explosive devices not unlike the ones that target out soldiers in Iraq and
how to fire automatic weapons. They are required to complete an obstacle
course one might see at Camp Lejeune, complete with barbed wire, flaming
tires to crawl through and live ammunition being shot just feet above their
heads. But the coup de gras is a mock staging of a kidnapping and murder of
a Jewish settler.
This camp in the Nuseirat refugee camp near Gaza City is basically a
terrorist factory, a place where evil people brainwash young children. These
children should be learning how to read and write. These children should be
playing not only amongst themselves but with Jewish children as well so that
the barriers – including the security barrier – can be overcome. These
children should be encouraged to understand that we are all human beings,
that we are all people. Instead, a guide at this summer camp from hell says
the children are learning "the art of war and the jihad.” A more
contemptible thought I have never heard, destroying young minds with hate.
This camp is sponsored – if that can be the correct term – by the Popular
Resistance Committees, a group that has killed three Americans in Gaza and
countless more Israelis. And these merchants of death and hatred are
effective. As reported in the New York Post, "Some of the rabid youngsters
said they couldn't get enough of the pretend killing. One pint-sized recruit
named Mustafa, 10, said he hoped to one day soon destroy Israeli aircraft
and tanks.”
It is astounding that all of this is happening with the undeclared consent
of the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
The ICJ found that the course Israel has taken in building the barrier was
not necessary to attain its security objectives and that the existence of
the barrier infringes on the rights of the Palestinian people. It ruled that
the existence of the barrier violates international humanitarian law and
human rights instruments and that Israel should pay reparations to
Palestinians affected by the existence of the barrier. In the opinion of the
ICJ, Israel’s act of building a barrier between people who would sponsor
brainwashing camps that turn children into murdering demons violates
international law. This is the world opinion that John Kerry and the
Liberal-Left, the multiculturalists and globalists, the Bush-Haters would
have us curry favor with before we were allowed to defend ourselves. It is
madness to think that such an ideology can be embraced as serious.
These Palestinian summer camps of death are vaguely familiar. If I am
correct, a while back there was a similar movement that indoctrinated the
youth of a country, of a people. This movement taught – brainwashed – the
children that their culture was "superior,” that they were destined to rule
the world as a "master race.” They were taught to put their country and the
movement above even their Mothers and Fathers and to commit themselves to
the movement with their lives. This organization, this movement, produced
the Nazi Youth, children who believed the eradication of entire groups of
people – Jews, Gypsies, Catholics, Americans, British, Australians – was the
correct course of action. We are seeing the exact same thing happening
again.
People, please, let’s all wake up from this nightmare before it’s too late,
before we see more of a Holocaust – another Holocaust – than we are already
seeing. We need to make the correct choice in leadership in the upcoming
election. The world depends on it lest we find ourselves saying once more,
"Never again.”
