Hamas children's TV program again calls for the 'slaughter of Jews'

A popular Hamas children's program that usually gives advice to youngsters, such as instructing them to listen to their parents, aired a call for the "slaughter" of Jews in Israel late last month, according to Palestinian Media Watch.

All Jews must be "erased from our land," Nassur, a stuffed bear who hosts the weekly program, Tomorrow's Pioneers, on Hamas's Al-Aksa television, explained to a child who called in to a September 22 show. "We want to slaughter them, Saraa, so they will be expelled from our land... we'll have to by slaughter."

Nan Jacques Zilberdik, an analyst at Palestinian Media Watch, which translated the program and regularly monitors Palestinian media, said Tomorrow's Pioneers, which comes out of the Gaza Strip, is available via satellite around the world. The program often blends pragmatic advice with hate, she said.

"Generally the program also transmits good messages to kids like drinking milk or asking parents permission to do something, but we also find these very problematic messages like the call to kill Jews," she said.

Check out the Hamas Founding Charter, which has never been renounced by Hamas. Everytime I post it verbatim on DU it gets removed (which I don't understand since it's just a historical document), so you'll have to Google it yourself.

its evil in words.

But be serious - if Israel had wanted to destroy their neighbors, they could have done so long ago.

agree to freeze settlements.

That step did not seem to have any peaceful repercussions.

Because Hamas has no interest in peace.

Israeli Army Leaves Gaza

(AP) Flames shot skyward from four abandoned synagogues in the Gaza Strip on Monday, as thousands of celebrating Palestinians thronged through former Jewish settlements and headed straight for the only buildings left standing.

At Neve Dekalim, gunman from several militant factions stormed through after Israeli soldiers left Monday morning, completing the Gaza pullout. Some Palestinians planted a flag from the ruling Fatah movement on the roof of a rabbinical college for Jewish settlers, as others set a fire inside.

The synagogue in the isolated settlement of Morag in southern Gaza was set ablaze minutes after hundreds of Palestinians stormed in.

"They (Israelis) destroyed our homes and our mosques," said a man who gave his name only as Abu Ahmed. "Today it is our turn to destroy theirs."

The synagogues were a focus of Palestinian anger after 38 years of Israeli occupation, primarily because they were among the only buildings left standing. Shortly after removing the last of the settlers two weeks ago, Israel sent in bulldozers to level the houses, leaving only a few public buildings and the synagogues.

"Now, instead of looking for an apartment and a job and security, these expectations and ambitions have increased. They are trying to get a bigger piece of the cake," says Ziad Abu Amr, a Gaza City representative to the Palestinian legislative council and author of several books on Islamic militants in Gaza. "The PA seems to be paralyzed and unable to establish the rule of law, so they figure they can get away with things and get concessions."

from the moment uncoordinatated withdrawl was bandied about?

Over the past few days, the PCRF staff in southern Gaza has provided thousands of at-risk children in the southern Gaza areas of Rafah and Khan Younis free milk in an effort to ensure that they get proper nutrition during the time of war and siege in Gaza. These distributions included not only the refugee camps and isolated villages in the south of Gaza, which were badly damaged in the war, but also the pediatric department of Nasser Hospital. Malnutrition is a serious problem in Gaza and many humanitarian organizations are working hard to help address this man-made disaster. The PCRF is also sending injured children out of Gaza this week for treatment, as well as running other humanitarian programs on the ground, including medicine distributions and a shipment of wheelchairs that will be entering Gaza soon.

PCRF is a very well-respected organization - you may want to consider making a donation.

They continue to provide milk to schoolchildren in Gaza. Since the conflict ended, they have been even more succesful in these efforts.

The whole thing is fishy.

But, Oberliner, I know it's your mission to post as much negative stuff about Palestinians that you can... since you're all about peace and a two-state solution and all.

...about Palestinians that you can"....since you're all about peace...etc

Ken Burch accused BTA of this and now PM.

Does the same apply to the other side who posts as much negative stuff about Israel as possible?

And, incidentally, my mission is to reach an end to this long standing conflict and for peace to come finally to the Israeli and Palestinian people.

Hamas is one of the many forces standing in the way of that mission and I will make no apology for any posting that helps to shine light on that sometimes overlooked fact.

I cannot imagine any who calls themselves a "Progressive Muslim" not wanting to help in that cause.

Seems to me your single goal is create as much antipathy as possible to Palestinians and Muslims.

Seems that you are the one generating antipathy towards Palestinians and Muslims.

I love how you "progressives" love the Palestinian quislings.

You used that expletive to describe the man that a sizable percentage of Palestinians currently support as their leader.

And yet you have the gall to accuse me of "creating antipathy towards Palestinians" when I post something critical of Hamas?

Absolutely ridiculous.

You think your lack of calling out Abbas is something to be proud of?

What a bunch of BS. JPost should be ashamed.

Abbas overtakes Haniyeh in Palestinian survey

RAMALLAH, West Bank, June 9 (Reuters) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's popularity rebounded in a survey released on Monday after he renewed his call for dialogue with the Hamas Islamists who control the Gaza Strip.

The poll, conducted by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research, suggested that Abbas would win 52 percent of the vote against 40 percent for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh if a presidential election were held in the Palestinian territories now.

Nice that you call the man who has the support of about half the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza a "piece of excrement."

tions... we'll never know, will we?

Kind of ironic actually.

Left hand... video...
Right hand.... 300 kids' corpses courtesy of the IDF...

Hmm.......

did you see it? I sure didn't.

Hamas leaders want them to grow to be martyrs.

Sickening hate. :puke:

Too bad that they don't see building their own society as more important than teaching hate and raising terrorists.

There are some positive messages being spread to Palestinian children, just not by Hamas.

not slaughter the Israelis, which would include Arabs, but Jews.

What kind of crazy world is it where the empty words of the victims are more horrific than the ACTUAL SLAUGHTER of the perpetrators?

And how long should Hamas keep using Palestinian civilians to draw IDF fire (not deter it) before you condemn such repulsive behavior?

Some posters think violence and resistance is just fine (and using human shields)

I always laugh whenever any of the usual suspects use that word.
