WTF? Hamas Terrorists To Teach Hebrew (But Dishonor Treaties)


The militant Islamic movement Hamas, which has imposed a strict Islamic regime on the Gaza Strip, and which is considered a terrorist organization by most western countries, has announced that it is planning on offering Hebrew language lessons to students in the schools under its control.

Imagine Osama Bin Laden having sponsored public swing dancing lessons and you can begin to understand the bemusement with which most Israelis view Hamas’ announcement. Hebrew is the language of Israel, a country which Hamas has vowed to destroy.

In fact, rival Palestinian faction Fatah, which dominates the West Bank’s Palestinian Authority, has deemed the teaching of Hebrew as unacceptable, strangely resulting in Hamas’ Education Minister Muhammad Abu Zeid stating that “there shouldn’t be any opposition to teaching Hebrew.”

Given Hamas’ record of opposition to negotiations with Israelis and its educational curriculum that glorifies the murder of Jews, this is indeed an unexpected development.

Readers may remember Hamas’ children’s show a la 2007 featuring Farfour the mouse, a Micky Mouse knock off who incited children to take up the armed struggle for the destruction of Israel. As Hamas’ number two recently told the Jewish newspaper the Forward that Hamas would not honor any treaties with Israel, it seems that the teaching of Hebrew will be utilized in training future terrorists to better understand their opponent, the “Zionist entity.”

In his interview with the Forward, senior Hamas figure Mousa Abu Marzook stated that Hamas “will not recognize Israel as a state.”

He further stated, the newspaper reported, that “his group would view an agreement between Israel and the P.A. — even one ratified by a referendum of all Palestinians — as a hudna, or cease-fire, rather than as a peace treaty. In power, he said, Hamas would feel free to shift away from those provisions of the agreement that define it as a peace treaty and move instead toward a relationship of armed truce.”
