This is the kind of disgusting human behavior I had to face this morning. As you may know, Palestinian television regularly not only glorifies terrorists and encouragesof hatred of Israel and the Jews (they’re not the same, you know), but also does that to children. It’s pure indoctrination of young minds to hate those who are different. Here, for example is one children’s show, described to me by Malgorzata (one of Hili’s staff and co-publisher of the rationalist site Listy ):

This is a daily children’s program in Gaza Strip in Hamas’ TV. Nahul is a puppet who talks to kids, and the presenters are a bit older kids. The Internet is full of those films. There were different animal-puppets over the years. Some were “killed by Jews”. You can just type into google “Hamas TV for children”. I made quite a lot of Polish subtitles to those films. In this episode, two young girls are indoctrinated by the moderator and a giant plush bee to say that they want to “kill all the Jews”:

And here’s another one, explained by MEMRI

MEMRI TV brings you the latest death cult children’s propaganda from Hamas, the episode of Pioneers of Tomorrow in which the evil killer bee Nahoul dies, because Israel prevented him from getting treatment for some unspecified giant bee disease. This leads to his replacement by Assud, the giant Jew-eating rabbit.

That’s not an exaggeration; watch the bit for yourself:

These clips were from a kids’ show called “Tomorrow’s Pioneers“,which apparently ended in 2009 (before that, Disney forced them to stop using a Mickey-Mouse character who egged on terrorists). But the damage is done, and, as I’ve shown before, there are similar programs indoctrinating children still being shown throughout the Middle East. Here’s one of them—an equally odious children’s show from April of last year:

Want more? Here are two small girls (they can’t be more than six), reciting a poem of hatred on Palestinian t.v.

A bit of it:

“Oh Sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations

Oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs,” Now this is the Muslim equivalent of what misguided people call Islamophobia. But this is true “Judeo-phobia,” (also known as anti-Semitism), expressed not as hatred of religious doctrine, but hatred of people—Jewish ones. To try to be even-handed, I asked Malgorzata if there was equivalent propaganda on Israeli t.v. Her response was this: Nothing even close to it. On Israeli TV, Arabs are presented as normal people. There is a collection of videos from Palestinian and Israeli TV showing the difference in presentation with a reward for anybody who could show a program from Israeli TV which is as hateful as those from Palestinian TV and vice versa. Nobody came for the reward. There just isn’t. This is reprehensible, and I’d claim that anyone who thinks this kind of indoctrination is okay is also reprehensible. I need hardly say, for I’ve said it before, that Israel shoulders its share of blame for the failure to achieve peace in the Middle East. But what you can’t say is that Israel use the organs of government to teach children religiously-based hatred and a suicide death cult. This indoctrination just propagates the hatred that makes peace impossible. Remember, too, that Hamas’s charter mandates the complete elimination of Israel. If this kind of program wsas shown on American t.v., say on children’s shows urging kids to kill Muslims, or Christians, or Jews, or Russians, or anybody else, there would be a huge uproar, and people would demand its cessation. It would be deemed child abuse and the promulgation of unremitting hatred. Imagine if Barney the Purple Dinosaur got little kids to say not only that they wanted to “kill all the Jews,” but that they were eager to do so, replacing other “martyrs”! So why the silence when these things are inculcated in Muslim children? he double standard, of course. If Islam is largely a “death cult,” it’s this kind of stuff, straight from the Qur’an, that creates it.
