Honest Reporting/Backspin
05 January '10
I grew up on cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Superfriends and the Flintstones. Bugs sometimes had an edge, but it was all innocent fun.
This Palestinian cartoon flagged by Memri is very disturbing. If it were "only" satire for adult audiences, it would be bad enough, but Hamas aired this cartoon for Gaza's children.
Hamas doesn't portray the PA any better. After years of PA television demonizing the Jews, the chickens have come home to roost.

The PA is depicted as a collaborator with Israel. The truth is just the exact opposite. But the Hamas cartoon does illustrate in the Arab mind that, any moderation, compromise or friendship with the Jews is tantamount to an act of treason.
ReplyDeleteThe chickens have indeed come home to roost.
Generally I would object to feeding propaganda to children irrespective of the concept behind it
ReplyDeleteIn the same way I object to putting toy adverts in children's programmes
