MEMRI has more of the transcript (and video) of the Farfur snuff video: Farfour, Hamas' Mickey Mouse Character, Is 'Martyred' in the Final Episode of the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow' Children's Show on Hamas TV
Farfour's grandfather: "I want to give you something in trust before I die, and I want you to safeguard it, Farfour."
Farfour: "What is it this trust I am supposed to safeguard, grandpa?"
[...]
Farfour's grandfather: "This land, which was [occupied] in 1948, is the land I inherited from my fathers and forefathers. I want you to protect it. It is a beautiful land, all covered in flowers and olive and palm trees. I want you to protect it, Farfour."
Farfour: "What is this land called, grandpa?"
Farfour's grandfather: "The land is called Tel Al-Rabi'. But unfortunately, the Jews called it 'Tel Aviv' after they occupied it."...
This is interesting, since of course, Tel Aviv is one of those places which was built ground-up from desert, but anywhere Jews have built something...why hocus-pocus, guess what, there just happened to be an Arab village there first. An emailer explains:
The place called Tel-Aviv was established on sand dunes outside Jaffa.
When it grew north (about 8km), it reached two Arab villages called Sheikh Mounis and Jamousin ( a village established by people from Jordan) -- both are close to the Yarkon River in north of today's Tel-Aviv. There was also a small German colony called Sharona. There are clear historical records by General Allenby how his forces bombed Shiekh Mounis and conquered the village. There are aerial photos of the whole area taken by the Germans prior the British occupation in 1917 -- they show the sand dunes and emptiness. (Parts of Jamousin are in the edge of the photos.) I have seen those photos but don't have a link to them.
BTW, Arabs have never settled on sand dunes. This is why when the settlers came to Gaza they took the then-empty sand dunes area.
In any case there is a Palestinian urban legend that Tel-Aviv was established on an Arab village called Tel-Rabia. This carries no historical evidence so far. In fact the historical evidence as late as 1917 show there was nothing in most of the place where Tel-Aviv is now.
Yet this myth is widely belived and is now repeated by Hamas Farfour charater..
Let's give the show's host the last word:

[Trying again.]
Tel Aviv long ago expanded to include villages that existed before racist Eastern European Ashkenazim came to steal Palestine from the native population.
Tel-Aviv district includes Tel-Aviv-Jafo city, whose official name somewhat anomalously preserves the name of the pre-existing Arab city.
The Palestine Remembered web site provides copious information on the crimes of genocidal Zionists and the historical coverup in which their racist subversive ethnic Ashkenazi American allies are engaged (see http://www.palestineremembered.com/JaffaTownsSnapshot.html ) to the harm and detriment of the USA.
Thanks for sharing, Joachim. 1) If Tel Rabia existed, why did it fail to get on the website you cited? 2) How is it that you can accuse an entire ethnic group of racism without being a bigot yourself? It is one thing to oppose bigotry, it's another to slander an entire ethnic group. 3) Sing along with me: M-A-R-T-Y-R M-O-U-S-E.
Tel Rabia is just Tel Aviv translated into Arabic. Some Zionist propagandist probably mistranslated some perfectly reasonable comment about the Arab villages upon which Tel Rabia/Tel Aviv is constructed.
Calling Zionist Ashkenazim racist differs in no way from calling Nazi Germans racist. And of course many non-Zionist ethnic Ashkenazim like many non-Nazi Germans could be racist.
I am not calling all ethnic Ashkenazim racist, but I am indentifying a segment of ethnic Ashkenazim (the Zionists) that are racist by all normal dictionary usages of the term racist.
If you have a problem with my analysis, talk to the dictionaries.
For folks who don't know, Joachim Martillo:
A. Describes himself as an Ashkenazim.
B. Asserts that the Ashkenazi aren't really Jewish.
C. Challenges people to call him a self-hating Jew.
The problem is this: If the Ashkenazi aren't really Jews, then how can Joachim claim to be a Jew.
It's like Krusty the clown said when he found out he wasn't bar mitzvahed. "All these years I thought I was a self-hating Jew, when all I really am is a plain-old anti-Semite."
Joachim, a couple of questions if I may.
1) I always thought you were you born into a Jewish home...is that right?
2) I see Karin now has a paying gig for her (and your?) reporting. Who's supporting that? Who's paying the bills? I think full disclosure is appropriate in a reporting situation (and I will do the same if you're curious, though this is an opinion blog, not a news reporting source).
3) Didn't you used to have a poster with Abe Foxman on it that you were putting up in Somerville? I thought you had it on your blog but I don't see it now. Am I misremembering that?
(OK, that's 3)
Thanks.
Ethnic Ashkenazi vs. Religious Jewish
The Rabbinical Jewish religious identity more or less crystallized at the time of Saadyah Gaon. Yiddishists developed a secular Ashkenazi ethnic identity that corresponded to the Yiddish-speaking population and that excluded Jews of other ethnic groups.
Zionists cannibalized and reinterpreted the Yiddish-speaking ethnic group as the pan-Judaic ethnonational group as a bogus justification for stealing and ethnic cleansing Palestine.
Obviously, one can legitimately identify oneself as ethnic Ashkenazi (belonging to the Yiddish-speaking ethnic group) without being religiously Jewish, and one could be religiously Jewish without being ethnic Ashkenazi.
In truth the world would be a much better place if ethnic Ashkenazim were proud of their ethnic Ashkenazi heritage and renounced Israeli/Zionist delusions.
No answers, Joachim?
