A Palestinian boy featured on a children's program on a Hamas-owned television channel declared that he wants to be an engineer when he grows up so that he can "blow up the Jews," thus wresting Israeli control of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
The woman who hosted the show began by asking the boy, fully clad in military fatigues, to recite a poem he liked. The boy, named Muhammad, said that the poem he chose to recite was taught to him by his mother, according to Breitbart.
Muhammad recited the poem, saying, "Oh Jerusalem, I shall redeem you with my soul and my blood. I shall liberate you from the Jews by means of the Al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of Hamas), of course. I bring glad tidings to our prisoners: Salvation is near."
The host then asked what Muhammad wanted to be when he grows up.
He responded by saying that he wanted to become a member of the al-Qassam brigades, a U.S.-listed terror group named after Sheikh Izz al din al-Qassem, a Syrian terrorist who led small groups of guerrilla bands collectively known as the Black Hand in the 1930's, Snapshots reported.
The host, seemingly pleased with Muhammad's goal, then turned to another boy, named Zakariya, and asked him the same question.
Zakariya responded that he wanted to become an engineer.
Somewhat dissastisfied with the response, the woman asked why he wanted to become an engineer, according to The Blaze.
He then went into further detail, explaining that he wants to become an engineer so he could "blow up the jews."
Relieved, the woman corrected him, saying that it's not Jews he'd be "blowing up" but Zionists. She then prompted another child to offer advice to the children.
"Keep waging Jihad, and Allah willing, when you grow up, you will wage resistance against the Jews," he said.
