Arab world's "Perfect Mother" is the wife, mother of terrorists

From Al Monitor:

Aisha Abu Shannab, or Om Hassan, a woman in her 50s from the Gaza Strip, was awarded the Mother of the Year prize on Feb. 28. She received the honor from the Ex-Warriors Association, a local chapter affiliated with the Arab League.

Om Hassan is also the widow of late Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shannab...

"My husband Ismail left us for his final rest in 2003, and since then, I have been taking care of our seven children, including two little daughters. Besides being a widow and mother, I began taking care of this association since 2004,” she told Al-Monitor at the office of her non-profit organization in Gaza City, Lighting Candles.

"Abu Hassan (Ismail) was such a great husband and his greatness also showed in several life experiences, particularly when the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority would arrest him. Once I shouted some prayers against those who came to arrest him, but he responded by telling me: ‘Please do not pray against them, but rather pray for them, so that they could get better.’ He was such a great educator and a man of tolerance,” Om Hassan recalled.

She was once again struck with agony during Israel’s Cast Lead offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip in 2008-2009, when an Israeli airstrike targeting the Jawazzat police compound killed her eldest son, Hassan.

It was not the first time Om Hassan was tasked to care for her children alone. Ismail also served seven years in Israeli jails after being arrested in 1989 during the first intifada.

With Ismail behind bars, the family no longer received his salary from UNRWA, where he was employed. Om Hassan raised her children for those seven years on regular stipends by the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which set aside funds for families of Palestinian prisoners in Israel.

Here's what the Al Monitor article doesn't say:

Ismail Abu Shannab, her husband, was a top Hamas leader second only to Sheikh Yassin.

Her son was also a Hamas Al Qassam Brigades member, and apparently part of a music group meant to "be a blow in the heart of the enemy." Here's one of his promotional photos:

The "Perfect Mother," as her title is named in Arabic, also was interviewed by the Hamas "Palestine Times" where she says that an ideal mother should educate her sons on is "love of jihad and martyrdom".

So the "ideal mother" of the entire Arab world is an enthusiastic supporter of Islamist terror.
