Hamas to Children: Drink Your Milk, Eat Your Jews
For those of you following the saga of the Palestinian animal heroes (and their subsequent deaths), the Hamas children's program "Pioneers of Tomorrow" has killed off the second of its cartoon jihadists and introduced a third - a rabbit promising to "eat up the Jews."
Hamas TV shows such as the one above are monitored by Palestinian Media Watch, whose director has called the program a "horrific manipulation of children. Their childhood is being taken from them...they are using attractive characters to promote death."
The rabbit proclaims: "I, Assud, will get rid of the Jews, Allah willing, and I will eat them up."
This is a culture of death which is brainwashing a generation of young Muslims. These children could grow to be intelligent, capable, morally committed individuals. Instead they are one step closer to strapping a bomb to their waist...one step closer down the "the path of martyrdom; the path of the Jihad warriors."
"We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland. We will sacrifice our souls and everything we own for the homeland," says Saraa, the program's host.
It isn't as if there is a shortage of impressionable minds either. The median age in the Gaza Strip is a mere 15 years old. Now let's compare Saraa's rhetoric with that of another well-known Muslim:
"They will lose because they worship life, whereas we will win because we worship death."
No, this isn't from a Bush speechwriter; it's straight from the mouth of one Osama Bin Laden. The program ends with a song containing the words "We will never recognize Israel."
But don't tell Condi.
