Ah, summer again, and time for those educational summer camps that help to inspire impressionable youth with the correct values to live by.

Here's what they learn at Islamic Jihad Gaza Summer Camp:

The MEMRI summary:

A teen camper, participating in the Islamic Jihad “Sword of Jerusalem” summer camp, said: “We did not come here to enjoy ourselves or play,” rather he said campers came to sacrifice themselves for the sake of Palestine and their people. He made these remarks in a news report about the camp that aired on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Islamic Jihad – Gaza) on June 29, 2021. The teen boy said that Hitler left some Jews alive to show how wicked they are. He threatened that the PIJ will tear the Jews’ bodies apart with their rockets, and said: “Scram into the shelters, you mice, you sons of Jews!” Ahmad Al-Ra’I, spokesman for the “The Sword of Jerusalem” summer camps, said that the camps are run by trainers and commanders with the Al-Quds Brigades and that they instill military knowledge and skills in the boys, which will enable them to confront the enemy in the “next stage.” “Abu Omar,” a PIJ commander in charge of training at the “Sword of Jerusalem” summer camp said that the commanders are training the campers so they can follow in the footsteps of their fathers. He said that the children will sacrifice their blood and their body parts on behalf of the Arab and Islamic nations, “who stay silent regarding our cause.”
