Hamas Website Encourages Kids to Become Martyrs

My question to the world is this:
Where are the human rights organizations and their outcry against this form of child abuse? Why are they so silent?

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - A new Hamas website for children encourages them to become suicide bombers.
The homepage of Al-Fateh.net shows a cartoon of a girl using a slingshot to throw rocks, presumably against Israelis, and the website also offers stories about "martyrs," said Palestinian Media Watch, an independent Israeli media watchdog.
In "Stories of the Shahids (martyrs)," the website on Tuesday mentioned Naseem Al Ja'abari, one of two suicide bombers who killed 16 people on public buses in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba in August 2004.
According to a translation provided by Palestinian Media Watch, Naseem's mother describes her son's merits and says when she heard of his death she "went to buy dates and candies for the people who came to congratulate [us]." She also sends her greetings to everyone who wants to become a martyr, Palestinian Media Watch said.
Hamas, which has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings that have left hundreds of Israelis and several Americans dead and wounded over the last 12 years, is set to take control of the Palestinian Authority government after sweeping wins in recent parliamentary elections.
Khaled Mashaal, the head of Hamas' political bureau, said in an interview earlier this week that Hamas' military wing" would not take part in the new Palestinian government, but instead would continue the struggle against Israel.
Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz has said that no Hamas leader is immune to Israeli targeted strikes, not even Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Ismail Haniyeh.
"The moment Hamas chooses the path of terror, there is no question here of political or non-political [leadership]," Mofaz said in a radio interview on Tuesday. "This would be a terrorist leadership, and therefore none of its members would be immune," he said.
Haniyeh, in response, said there is nothing new in the threats and that Palestinians would "rise above them."
Two years ago, Israel killed Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in a targeted strike, and a month later his successor Abdul Aziz Rantissi was killed in a similar attack. Haniyeh escaped an earlier Israeli attempt to wipe out the entire Hamas leadership.
On Feb. 24, prime ministerial advisor Dr. Ra'anan Gissin told Cybercast News Service that Hamas parliamentarians would not be immune to counter-terror operations if they persisted in organizing terror attacks.
"It does not matter if someone has a political position or a VIP card, if he is involved in instigating, inciting or planning terror attacks -- he can consider himself a target."
Gissin spoke after Avi Dichter, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet internal security services, said that Haniyeh could be a target.
"I see no situation in which Haniyeh enjoys immunity just because he is the prime minister," Dichter said last month.
"In my eyes he was and remains a terrorist, whatever he does ... If there is a terror attack and Israel decides to reply with a targeted assassination, Haniyeh will be a legitimate target, because Hamas cannot carry out an attack without the leadership's consent," Dichter was quoted as saying in an interview with the Hebrew daily Yediot Aharonot.
