Hundreds of children as young as seven are being taught to handle automatic weapons and to celebrate the killers of Israeli Jews at a Palestinian summer camp being held in the hills near Hebron in the West Bank.

Run by Fatah, the party founded by the late Yasser Arafat that controls the Palestinian Authority (PA), the “Buds of Construction and Liberation” camp features “training in military order and discipline” from commanders of PA security forces.

Photos posted on Palestinian social media show hundreds of children who have gone through the camp holding Kalashnikov rifles in front of a banner depicting Arafat and his successor as Fatah’s leader, the PA’s president Mahmoud Abbas.

A video on the official Facebook page of the Fatah Commission of Information and Culture explains that the camp is necessary because “our battle with the sons of dogs [in other words, Israelis] is long and we need a young generation”.
