PBS Lesson Plan Teaches Kids to Sympathize with Muslim Suicide Bombers

We, the American taxpayer, subsidize this poison. It is an outrage. We need a revolution of the mind. Why should we underwrite anti-freedom, anti-American, antisemitic propaganda? There are a thousand channels; let these elite destroyers compete in the marketplace like the rest of us.

The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is home to Big Bird, Frontline, and other “programing made possible by viewers like you,” including lesson plans instructing teachers how to show kids to be more sympathetic to radical Islamic suicide bombers in Palestine.

“Dying to be a Martyr.” That’s the name of a lesson plan offered to students and teachers at no cost by the Public Broadcasting Service, a taxpayer-funded nonprofit, and some of the material seems to encourage students to learn to sympathize with radical Islamic terrorists.

[the_ad id=”90673″]

The “Dying to be a Martyr” lesson plan is offered through PBS’ LearningMedia website, “a media-on-demand service offering educators access to the best of public media and delivers research-based, classroom-ready digital learning experiences,” according to the PBS website.

The stated “objectives” for the lesson plan, which is designed for use by students in grades nine through 12, include analyzing “why the Middle East conflict began and continues today,” discussing “how religions can unite or divide people” and explaining “why individuals and groups sometimes turn to tactics of terrorism, and evaluate how terrorism affects the world we live in.”

It’s in “Part 3” the lesson plan takes a disturbing turn. First, students watch a video of 18-year-old Mohanned Abu Tayyoun, a Palestinian terrorist “who entered Israel carrying a bag of explosives with the intention of carrying out a suicide bombing.” Mohanned “wavered, however, and returned home without carrying out the mission.”

In the video, which is called by the lesson plan the “Martyrdom” video, Mohanned is interviewed from a jail cell in Israel, where he is asked why he wanted to be a suicide bomber.

Mohanned responds, “It was my decision. Martyrdom leads us to God. I don’t want this life. When you become a martyr, your prize for carrying out the operation is going to heaven. … We Palestinians prefer to die, just kill ourselves, rather than live this worthless life. Our lives are worthless. We are hollow bodies living a pointless life.”

“Israelis enjoy their life,” Mohanned continued. “They go out at night. They have cafes and nightclubs. They travel all over the world. They go to America and Britain. We can’t even leave Palestine.”

Teachers are then instructed, “Check for understanding by asking students to respond to the focus question. (Mohanned feels he would rather die and by a martyr than live his life, sees his life as hollow—in contrast he sees Israelis as happy, going out, having fun, traveling.) Ask your students why Mohanned may feel that way (Answers may include: Palestinians have less land, fewer privileges, cannot come and go as they please.)”

Nothing in the instructions tells teachers to denounce Mohanned’s claims or radical Islamic views in general.

The final section of “Part 3” has students watch another video interview of Mohanned, this time where explains why he didn’t go through with the act. Teachers are instructed after the video ends, “Ask your students to share their thoughts on why Mohanned didn’t carry out the plan. (Mohanned felt that not all Jews were guilty of being against him, and that God wanted him to continue to live.)”

In Part 4, students are asked to watch a third video interview of an Islamic terrorist. This time, the video includes a terrorist who actually was involved in a suicide bombing. According to the lesson plan, “this is taken from an interview with 25-year-old Majdi Amer, who in March 2003 built a bomb and prepared a suicide bomber for a bus bombing in Haifa that killed 17 people and wounded 50.”

In the interview, Majdi is asked why he believes it’s acceptable to kill women and children, to which he explains, “If the Israelis kill a child in Gaza, I’m ready to kill one in Tel Aviv. If they destroy houses in Gaza, I’ll do it in Tel Aviv. If they give me security in my land, then there’s no problem.”

After students watch the interview, teachers are expected to ask students to explain “how Majdi and Mohanned’s opinions differ from one another, even though they are both Palestinians involved in suicide bombing plots. (Majdi feels that Islam calls for him to defend his land any way he can, he does not recognize the Jewish state, he will kill an Israeli for every Palestinian killed. Mohanned did not see every Jew as an enemy, did not want to kill innocent people, felt that God wanted him to live.)”

No instructions are provided telling teachers to denounce the radical claims made by Majdi, and there are no other lesson plans describing the conflict from the point of view of the Israelis.

On the lesson plan’s website, under the “Credits” section, JP Morgan Chase and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are listed as the sources of funding. CPB is funded by the U.S. federal government, and it was first created by an act of Congress in 1967, under the leadership of Democratic Party President Lyndon Johnson.

A review of the LearningMedia website by The Blaze found at least six lengthy lesson plans focused on teaching students about various aspects of Islam, including “The Five Pillars of Islam,” “The Haj: Journey to Mecca” and “Salat: Prayer in Muslim Life.” However, no similar lesson plans covering other religious groups—including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism or Hinduism—were discovered on the website.


Read it all and contact your elected officials to stop taxpayer money from funding Islamic propaganda being pushed on young Americans.

Very simply, PBS needs to be de-funded. American tax dollars should not be funding, nor associated with apologizing for Islam’s death cult, or martyr-ism.

Mattis believes in the two-state “solution” for Israel. He also said the Islamic State has nothing to do with islum. He can go to hell.

Unfortunately Mattis has to play nice with politicians, both sane and insane.
Most successful Generals have degrees in political science and will say what their civilian masters want to hear, yet keep their true intentions to themselves. I believe the 23,000lb MOAB dropped on ISIS heads, is proof.

So, you’re saying Mattis is lying and that’s why I should trust him?
If the Islamic State disappeared right this second, islamic terrorism wouldn’t stop and the millions of slaves in Mauritania and the Sudan? They would still be enslaved.

The 23,000 lb. bomb should’ve been dropped on: Iran, Soddy Barbaria or Pakistain. It’s not like the dirtbags in Afghanistain have access to WMD’s…yet.

In case you’re wondering why PBS would push this bullshit you have to understand the liberal mindset.
To true libs they consider themselves champions of the downtrodden. And they look upon muslims in general and “Palestinians” in particular as among the downtrodden. Don’t ask me why.
That muslims are all mentally-challenged-to use the parlance of the day-hasn’t quite dawned on them.
And that muslims would kill them as well as look at them only shows how f+++ing stupid libs are.

Its unappropiate. Insensitive to victims. But in a way it is more than most can handle, because , the believers – simetimes refered to as radicals – dont see themseĺves as radicals. They se themselves as pious believers. When you yourself are not a believer it makes absolutely no sence what they say. Why force anybody to watch something that incomprehendable. On the other hand when you believe, it would be completely normal to comply to society norms. Just think of isis. The feel themselves pious believers , doing what isis ( koran) demands.killing slaying bombing beheading . All utterly in line. When you are a believer. Its appropriate to subject these teachings to kids aware off the above. Scary. Zombiemovie scary.

“radical islamic terrorists” it is to laugh. It wasn’t nazis that were the problem in WW2 — it was the radical nazi terrorists. Angola is looking better and better all the time…

This is the horrifying epitome of Leftist moral relativism, and a deliberate attempt to persuade naive students to identify with Muslim suicide bombers at the expense of their victims – it is monstrous. The Left is determined to destroy every shred of morality established by the Judeo-Christian values that built America. Once the Left succeeds in obliterating any remaining sense of right and wrong they can legitimize and substitute their own left-wing liberal narrative of political correctness, moral relativism, and historical revisionism – America will be George Orwell’s dystopian 1984. The Left-wing liberal lemmings who allow their children to be indoctrinated in this particularly vile and destructive manner are participating in dehumanizing, desensitizing, and destabilizing of their own children. PBS is guilty of propagandizing and indoctrinating their viewers – the vile hypocrisy of their programming’s anti-Israel anti-semitic position must be exposed. Why does PBS provide lesson plans instructing teachers how to show kids to be more sympathetic to radical Islamic suicide bombers in Palestine? Where is the Jewish point of view? Where is the ACCURATE history of the area? Students were not assigned to expand their minds and consider the relative merits of exterminating blacks, exterminating Muslims, or exterminating homosexuals or transgenders – only exterminating Jews. No amount of art and music outweighs the insidious left-wing liberal anti-semitic propaganda PBS promotes – PBS should be defunded.

At the end of WW2 there were 20m refugees in Europe – in five years there were virtually none. The Gulf and Arab states could have settled the “Palestinians” by 1950 if they wanted to. They – Arab states – love the camps b/c it gives them a permanent issue to use against the West. w/ out having to spend a nickel on their brother Muslims. The Gulf states could have purchased every “refugee” a Rolls and a private island in Micronesia if the wanted to.
