Is 11-year-old Saraa Barhoum (pictured) the kind of role model you want your kids to learn from? The host of the controversial Hamas TV show, Tomorrow’s Pioneers, told McClatchy News she really does want to be a martyr:
With her jarring mix of innocent charm and militant rhetoric, Saraa is at the center of the militant Islamist group’s increasingly sophisticated campaign to become the dominant force in Palestinian politics….
Asked if she hoped one day to be a martyr, Saraa instinctively nodded her head.
“Of course,” Saraa said. “It’s something to be proud of. Every Palestinian citizen hopes to be a martyr.”
