PA Schoolgirl: Oct. 7 atrocities were "a beautiful dream"
Student at PA school: "That day went down in history (i.e., Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel)... We woke up to the sounds of laughter. There are those among us who thought he was dreaming, but it is a beautiful dream that he never wants to wake up from... On Saturday [October 7], the people who resist returned to their land ... It was impossible to express the emotions in our hearts, and we never imagined such pride in our people on our faces. The sense of honor that we felt is indescribable."

PA Schoolgirl: "Welcome, October, you are the month of blood"
"October, month of blood, you have arrived, welcome.
October, do not leave easily.
October, teach them a lesson to be delivered by teachers of revenge; justice has witnesses.
We came to you (i.e., Israel) in multitudes,
Open your door, we are death.
We will let you taste eternity in fire [of hell].
Oh, world! What do you want the response to be? Candles, prayers, and flowers?
We will respond to blood with blood and remove the dust of oppressive history with black gunpowder.
Only blood do we see as an ally,
And we will cool the fire in our heart with the body parts and screams of soldiers.
Open your door, we are death, or close it – we will get to you, the target is identified."[Shweikeh Mixed Elementary School, Facebook, November 5, 2023]

PA Schoolgirl: Israelis pretend to be brave but are all rats
"Allahu Akbar! This is the [Al-Aqsa] Flood. Long live the lions [of Hamas] and down with tyranny.
Today, we raid them [Israelis], and they don't raid us. Nothing will stop [us] if faith calls...
We long for Martyrdom, and our enemy fears the encounter. He is surrounded by walls.
They [Israelis] pretend to be brave, but when they see the faces of the lions – they are all rats."[Askelan Mixed Elementary School, Facebook, October 16, 2023]
