Kids jump for Jihad at European-funded dance competition: “Jihad is needed, Pull the trigger”

In keeping with the song’s theme of destroying Israel,the awards for the winning dancers were gold, silver, and bronze “maps of Palestine” that include all of Israel.

Norming savagery.And the West is paying for it. The Eurpeans think if they they throw the Jews under the bus, it will keep them safe. On the contrary, it doesn’t slake the bloodlust, it increases it. The Jews may be the canary in the coalmine, but they are coming for Europe and beyond.

Kids jump for Jihad at European-funded dance competition

Song at European-funded youth competition:
“Jihad is needed, Pull the trigger”

By Itamar Marcus, PMW, February 20, 2017:

Like many western cultural centers, the Yafa Cultural Center in Nablus recently hosted a folk dance competition for youth. But unlike their western counterparts, children at this competition danced to calls for violence and waltzed to words of war:

“We replaced bracelets with weapons

 We attacked the despicable [Zionists]…

Jihad is needed

 Pull the trigger.”

The Yafa Cultural Center, which receives funding from the German development agency GIZ, Norway, and the European Union, recently posted to its website photos from the first Yafa Folk Dance Competition. The gold prize winner danced to the song Pull the Trigger. The following is a longer excerpt from the song’s lyrics:

“The Zionists coveted [our] homeland,

compounding damage and enmity

But the popular revolution awaits [them]

The orchard called us to the struggle

We replaced bracelets with weapons

We attacked the despicable [Zionists]

We do not want [internal] strife or disputes

While this invading enemy is on the battlefield

This is the day that Jihad is needed

Pull the trigger.

We shall redeem Jerusalem, Nablus and the country.”

This song was previously broadcast on PA TV in 2010.

In keeping with the song’s theme of destroying Israel, the three top scoring dancers were awarded maps of “Palestine” replacing Israel. Palestinian Media Watch has documented that the PA and Fatah regularly disseminate maps that erase Israel from the map.

According to the financial report of the Yafa Cultural Center from late 2014, that year it received contributions from the German development agency GIZ (around 50,000 Israeli shekels), Norway (around 7,000 Israeli shekels), and the European Union (around 80,000 Israeli shekels).
