A Hamas video broadcast on the militant group's Al-Aqsa television station includes a simulated abduction of an Israel Defense Forces soldier.

The video, which was released online by Palestinian Media Watch, shows the explosion of a mock IDF tank, after which Hamas fighters practice snatching a soldier from inside the tank and escape.

Last month, Al-Aqsa TV aired a documentary that claimed that the "satanic Jews" planned and perpetrated the Holocaust in order to rid themselves of the "burden" of the weak and disabled.

The accompanying commentary claims David Ben Gurion, the first prime minister of Israel, said that "the disabled and handicapped are a heavy burden on the state."

That movie also claimes that the "Jews thought up an evil plot to be rid of the burden of the disabled and handicapped in twisted criminal ways... They blame the Nazis or others in order to appear persecuted and to try and earn the sympathy of the international community."
