| Caption from the Hamas childrens' newspaper Al-fatah: "Suicide Bomber Zainab Abu Salem: Her head separated from her pure body, and her Ra'ala [Muslim headscarf] remains to decorate [her face]. Her place is in paradise, where in the highest heavens, Zainab ... sister [who has been raised to the level] of men." |

In September, I wrote of the Palestinian children's role model -- pretty 18 year-old suicide bomber and children's television presenter Zainab Ali Issa Abu Salem (article link at left).
The power of this image was not lost on the 'political and social services' wing of Hamas. The picture at left (with caption translated from the Arabic), appeared in issue 38 of the Hamas children's newspaper Alfatah of September 22, 2004.
The social and educational wing of Hamas, whose members UNRWA chief Peter Hansen employs without concern, know how to create the right educational environment for Palestinian children. The magazine has stories, poems and pictures attractive to children, so that they absorb the accompanying messages of hatred and encouragement to violence, terror and suicide.
