From Palestinian Media Watch (in full -- not yet online):
Hamas puppet: I declare war on the Zionists
After having three puppet hosts, the Mickey Mouse look-alike, the bee and the rabbit, all die on TV, Hamas children's television has introduced a fourth puppet host. The new one, a bear named Nassur, appeared Friday on Hamas TV promising to be a Jihad fighter, and declaring war on the Zionists.
[Update: The video has been pulled for "copyright reasons." I sense a new posting coming up on that issue. In the mean time, Atlas has posted the video, also at YouTube, here. We'll see if that one lasts.
Update 2: The original video is now back up. Still looking for back story...]
Below is the full transcript of the video:
Nassur: "I will join the ranks of the Izz A-Din Al-Qassam [Hamas'] Brigades. I will be a Jihad fighter with them and I will carry a rifle. Do you know why, Saraa?"
Saraa: "Why?"
Nassur: "To defend the children of Palestine, the children who were killed, the children who were wounded, the orphaned children. That's why, from this moment, I declare war on the criminal Zionists. Not only me, me and you. You are ready, right, Saraa?"
Saraa: "We are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for our homeland!" [Al-Aqsa TV, Feb. 13, 2009]
