Fatah hosts a Palestinian jihad camp for future terrorists

While kids around the globe are playing soccer, making friendship bracelets, and roasting marshmallows at summer camps, the Palestinian Authority has a different kind of summer fun in mind. Over in the "Fatah Army" camp, they're not teaching kids to tie knots or sing campfire songs. No, they're handing out military uniforms and parading armed PA Security Forces (PASF) members in front of children, grooming them to be the next generation of terrorists.

Don't take my word for it, Fatah's own people spelled it out at the camp's closing ceremony. They told the kids the goal was to create a generation that will "continue the path of the Martyrs and prisoners." Translation: follow in the footsteps of dead and jailed terrorists. Here’s the exact brag from their Facebook post:

"The Fatah Nablus Branch concluded the activities of the 'Fatah Army' summer camp, which lasted three days and included more than two hundred male and female campers … Fatah Nablus Branch Secretary-General Muhammad [aka Mo] Hamdan emphasized that the 'Fatah Army' camp is part of the effort to prepare a national generation that will carry the message, adhere to the basic principles of its people, and continue the path of the Martyrs and prisoners [i.e., terrorists] towards freedom and independence." [Fatah Movement – Nablus Branch, Facebook page, Aug. 4, 2025]

The post came with pictures, because apparently Fatah’s so proud of this they couldn’t resist showing off. Boys and girls decked out in military gear, marching alongside a female PASF member in full uniform. Another shot? Three PASF guys, decked out in flak jackets, clutching Kalashnikovs, chilling with the kids like it’s just another day at camp.

And if you're wondering why the PASF's so cozy with these kids, Fatah isn't shy about it. They've bragged that most of their recent "martyrs" (read: dead terrorists) came from their own ranks or the PASF. So, naturally, they're the perfect role models to teach these kids how to “continue the path."

Let's call it what it is: brainwashing kids into becoming child soldiers. It’s not just messed up, it’s a straight-up violation of international humanitarian law. But does that stop Fatah, the PA's ruling party, bankrolled by international donors? Not even one iota.
 little.

This isn't a one-off, either. Flash back to 2023: Fatah and PASF ran a camp where young boys were drilling with assault rifles. Another one had kids learning how to strip down and reassemble Kalashnikovs, plus some hand-to-hand combat for good measure. In 2022, they let hundreds of kids pose with PASF rifles like they were toys. And at another camp that year, Fatah and PASF gave weapons training to kids, explicitly to fight Israelis, who, by the way, a Fatah rep called "the sons of dogs." 

This is part of a bigger, uglier picture. The PA and Fatah have a whole strategy to turn Palestinian kids into soldiers. Palestinian Media Watch laid it bare in their 2022 UN World Children's Day report, and it's still going strong. Case in point: this January, at an event celebrating Fatah's 60th anniversary of its first terror attack, they had a girl recite a poem urging kids to turn everyday items into weapons against Israel:

"Students of the Gaza Strip, teach us a bit of what you know, for we have forgotten. Teach us how to be men, for we have men who have turned into dough. Teach us how the stone becomes a precious diamond in the hands of the children. How the child’s bicycle turns into a mine and the silk ribbon turns into an ambush. How the spout of the baby bottle, when placed under arrest, turns into a knife."

Bicycles into mines? Baby bottles into knives? This isn't summer camp, it's a masterclass in child abuse, courtesy of Fatah. And the world's still writing checks to keep this show running.

And if you want to Buy Me A Coffee, I wouldn't stop you--it supports my work and I really appreciate it. But no pressure.
