頑張れパレスチナ！（第２版）

The Islamic bloc also put out a campaign leaflet for students, “Voice of the Islamic Bloc” espousing its political platform. According to the Intelligence and Terror Information Center at the Center for Special Studies, a think-tank devoted to exposing what’s happening inside the PA the world press, the leaflet said that the strategic goal of Hamas is to establish an Islamic Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River.

The leaflet also attacked PA chief Mahmoud Abbas, depicting him in a photograph shaking the hand of Ariel Sharon and asking, “Are you shaking the hand of my murderer?”

Another leaflet handed out to students on campus purports to be “the last letter” of Khalil al-Sharif, a student suicide bomber who carried out an attack on Ben Yehuda St. in Jerusalem on September 4, 1997, “in which 5 Zionists were killed and more than 200 others were wounded.”

The letter recounts the student’s decision to leave the Fatah student movement at Bir Zeit University, north of Ramallah, to join the Islamic Bloc following the Oslo accords. The leaflet ends off praising al-Sharif for joining the Iz a-Din al-Qassam Martyrs Brigade (the military wing of Hamas). “Allah strengthened him [by allowing him to join] to join the jihad and conferred upon him the honor of martyrdom,” the leaflet stresses.

Not to be outdone by the Hamas dominated Hebron University, Abbas has become personally involved in stirring up anti-Israel incitement at Bir Zeit University, al-Sharif’s alma mater. In a speech on April 14 to the student body following the surprise victory of Abbas’ Fatah faction in the student council elections after years of a Hamas majority, Abbas told students that this achievement would be followed by other successes.

“I hope Allah will unite our victory with Jerusalem,” proclaimed Abbas. His words were followed by thousands of Bir Zeit students chanting, “Millions of Shahids (terrorist martyrs) marching on Jerusalem.”

Hamas couldn’t have done a better job.
