Boycott Israel, Denmark, the USA...dream of revenge and death for a Danish cartoonist...dream of martyrdom for the sake of Allah... Just another day on Hamas's Al Aqsa TV for kids with Assud the vorpal bunny. Imagine if the Mickey Mouse Club were being cultivated as a pool of martyrs. It's a direct analogy.
MEMRI TV (video): Hamas Bunny Assud Urges Boycott of Danish Goods and Threatens to Kill Danes over Muhammad Cartoons [Here are a couple of snips from the transcript. Watch the whole thing, though.]
In the February 22, 2008 episode of the Hamas children's show "The Pioneers of Tomorrow," on Al-Aqsa TV, program host Saraa Barhoum and bunny character Assud urge viewers to boycott Danish products and to avenge the insult of the Muhammad cartoons reprinted by Danish newspapers. They also express their hope that "all the borders will be opened" between Arab countries, and discuss their own "martyrdom."
...Amani [child caller]: "Our brothers, the Americans, have affronted the Prophet Muhammad..."
Assud: "They are not our brothers, they are criminals."
Amani: "What?"
Assud: "They are infidels, not our brothers."
Amani: "They are enemies of Allah, and they have affronted the Prophet Muhammad."...
...Saraa: "It's because the West has seen that we've moved away from the religion of Allah, and from the Sunna of our Prophet Muhammad. They have also seen that we have forsaken the religion of Allah, and therefore, they could affront the Prophet, because... We have done nothing to redeem the Prophet Muhammad. But I say to them: You haven't seen anything yet. Allah willing, the soldiers of the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow' will redeem the Prophet Muhammad with all that they possess, and even with their blood, Assud. They will not allow them to do this again."
Assud: "If they do it again, Saraa, we will kill them, right?"
Saraa: "Allah willing."
Assud: "I will bite them and eat them up."
Saraa: "Yes...
...Assud: "Allah willing, when I am martyred, a tiger will take my place... Allah willing, I will be the one to fix things, and there won't be any tiger. The "Pioneers of Tomorrow" and I will make this dream come true. [...]
"Allah Willing, There Are Thousands of Soldiers of the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow'"
"Who will host this show if you are martyred? Will 100,000 Saraas take your place?"
Saraa: "Allah willing, Assud."
Assud: "We'll take them from among the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow,' Allah willing."
Saraa: "Allah willing, there are thousands of soldiers of the 'Pioneers of Tomorrow.'"
Assud: "Martyrdom for the sake of Allah is what we hope for, right?"
Saraa: "Right, Assud."..
The MSM has never reported this stuff that I've seen. Never. Not once. I.e. nada, nil, zil, nihil.
One can only imagine the press coverage if the situation were reversed, if Israel - methodically, systematically, institutionally, as part of curricula, etc., and from the earliest years forward - were to engage in anything remotely like this.
