In 2010, Toyor al-Janah released the music video “When We Die as Martyrs” (لما نستشهد بنروح الجنة), with then-ten-year-old Dima Bashar and her older brother Muhammad Bashar as the main singers. The song's lyrics addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a Palestinian perspective – both the singers and the channel's founder are Palestinian – where the children sang lines such as “When we die as martyrs, we go to heaven” and “There is no childhood without Palestine.” Additionally, they recited a prayer: “Oh God, grant victory to Islam and the Muslims. Oh God, help the children of Palestine.” The video also depicted battle scenes with children dressed as Israeli soldiers, who are shot at the end after having previously shot Palestinian children. The song was viewed millions of times and made headlines in both Israel and the Arab world. Saudi journalist Fawzia Nasir al-Na’im sharply criticized the video, calling it an indoctrination of children. The video is no longer available on Toyor al-Janah's YouTube channel, but copies exist on YouTube. A few months later, Toyor al-Janah performed during a three-day visit to the Gaza Strip. == Toyor Al-Janah Singer ==
