PA TV to Palestinians: ‘Al-Aqsa is more precious than your children’

Among instances of inciting violence against Israelis, Palestinian Media Watch mentioned a song broadcast on official P.A. radio encouraging the sacrifice of children for a future state.


(April 23, 2020 / JNS) Palestinian Authority TV aired a clip that reinforces the P.A.’s message that Islamic holy places and the struggle for “Palestine” are worth the sacrifice of their children.

According to a new report by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) published on Wednesday, for decades, Palestinian leadership has promoted to its people the ideal of dying as “martyrs” for their battle against Israel. In the new filler, the P.A. teaches Palestinians that the Al-Aqsa Mosque is “more precious than my children and more precious than my family.”

The video, which ran on April 10 states: “Al-Aqsa—the lemon blossom, the olives. I will redeem you with my soul and my eyes.”

It continues, “Al-Aqsa is more precious than my children and more precious than my family—Al-Aqsa is my life, Al-Aqsa is my life … the whole world is with Palestine, and wherever you need us, we are with you.”Subscribe to The JNS Daily Syndicate by email and never miss our top stories

The lyrics state: “I love you Palestine from the bottom of my heart, I love you, my land. You are in [my] eyes and soul, And I will redeem you with my children.”

The song, “I Love You, Palestine, From the Bottom of My Heart” by Palestinian singer Ammar Hassan, was broadcast by the official P.A. radio station the Voice of Palestine on the following dates: Jan. 2, 5, 9, 10, 12, 22, 23; Feb. 12, 20, 22; March 2, 20; April 10, 14; May 1, 14, 17; June 4, 19; Aug. 15; Dec. 14, 28 2019; Jan. 8, 15, 17, 18, 29; Feb. 5, 12, 2020.
