Hamas's "Hitler Youth" style movement prepares for jihad

Nearly 10,000 Palestinian schoolchildren have been receiving military training from Hamas, in order to prepare them for a new jihad against Israel, it has been reported.

Senior Hamas officials have said that some 9,000 school children have joined up to 36 camps throughout the Gaza Strip where they are to be taught how to use various types of weapons and handle explosives.

The camps have been named, Al Futuwwa, which was also the name of a Hitler Youth style pan Arab facsist nationalistic youth movement that existed in Iraq in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1938, the Al-Futuwwa youth organization sent a delegate to the Nuremberg Nazi party rally. In turn hosted the Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach.

Hamas says that the purpose of the camps is to prepare Palestinian children, both militarily and psychologically, for the “liberation of Palestine, from the Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea,” - reflecting the wishes of Hamas to eradicate the entirety of the Jewish state.
