(Washington Free Beacon) -- The closing celebration for a Palestinian Authority summer camp featured children wearing military uniforms and posing with automatic weapons, according to images aired on Palestinian television in June and republished by an Israeli watchdog group on Monday.
More than 150 children attended the summer camp hosted by the Palestinian Authority. The program is for the children of individuals who are considered “martyrs and prisoners” by the West Bank government.
The camp was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority National Security Forces and a youth movement created by Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority’s president, called “the Lion Cubs and Flowers of Palestine.”
