Palestinian 'Sesame Street'

Jihad for Kids February 4, 2002

It’s a show that won't make the Saturday morning lineup on any American network. But it has had a prominent slot on Palestinian TV. The program lacks the same slick production value of an American children's show, but it's just as influential. It's called 'The Children's Club'...."

Here we have hosts encouraging children to toss the ball into the basket. Their kids are probably tossing grenades. While our kids play “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” theirs play “Bomb the Jews on the School Bus”. Our Sesame Street is brought to children by specific letters and numerals. Children’s Club is brought to them by the concepts “martyr”, “blood” and “blind hatred”.

Sick, vile, putrid, affront to God, new low in child abuse…No, I can’t find the proper terms to express my revulsion.

Oh, just great. “60 Minutes” is reporting on how North Korea is using “The Diary of Anne Frank” as a lesson to their children against American Nazi Warmongers.

Excerpt from previously posted Single Best article on the conflict ...
"Where Hatred Trumps Bread"
What does the Palestinian nation offer the world?

BY CYNTHIA OZICK

History, in Benedetto Croce's formulation, "is about the positive and not the negative." No one can refute the truth that the Palestinians have fashioned a culture peculiarly their own--but one so steeped in the negative as to have been turned into a kind of anti-history. In order to deprive Jews of their patrimony, Palestinians have fabricated a sectarian narrative alien to commonplace knowledge. Although the Arab invasion of Palestine did not occur until the seventh century, Palestinian Arabs are declared to be, according to activist Salah Jabr, "the descendants of civilizations that have lived in this land since the Stone Age." With equal absurdity, other such deniers of Jewish patrimony claim a Canaanite bloodline. By replacing history with fantasy, the Palestinians have invented a society unlike any other, where hatred trumps bread.
They have reared children unlike any other children, removed from ordinary norms and behaviors. And they have been assisted in these deviations by Arab rulers who for half a century have purposefully and pitilessly caged and stigmatized them as refugees, down to the fourth generation. Refugeeism, abetted also by the United Nations, has itself been joined to the Palestinian cult of anti-history. A people respectful of history, including its own above all, will work to fructify and invigorate life; it will not debase and vitiate it.

The salient attribute of any culture is originality and legacies.... Out of Israel came monotheism, out of Greece philosophy, out of Arab civilization science and poetry, out of England the Magna Carta, out of France the Enlightenment. What has been the genius of Palestinian originality, what has been the contribution of the evolving culture of Palestinian sectarianism? On the international scene: airplane hijackings and the murder of American diplomats in the 1970s, Olympic slaughterings and shipboard murders in the 1980s. And toward the Jews of the Holy Land, beginning in the 1920s and continuing until this morning, terror, terror..."

But the most ingeniously barbarous Palestinian societal invention, surpassing any other in imaginative novelty, is the recruiting of children to blow themselves up with the aim of destroying as many Jews as possible in the most crowded sites accessible. These are not so much acts of anti-history as they are, remarkably, instances of anti-instinct. The drive to live is inherent: The very mite crawling on this sheet as I write hastens to flee the point of my pen. The child who has been taught to die and to kill from kindergarten on, via song and slogan in praise of bloodletting, represents an inconceivable cultural ideal. And it is a cultural grotesquerie that Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a pediatrician entrusted by his vocation with the healing of children, is in fact a major recruiter of young suicide bombers. (When his wife was asked by a neighbor why her husband did not outfit his own teenage son in a bomber's vest, he instantly sent the boy abroad.)

Well, Abu, I would say that I wouldn't blame Israel mobilizing against their relentless enemies but for our own government's total apathy to the stealth Mexican invasion. In each case walls and aggressive defensive measures are warranted, but only Israel is seeing to it's self-preservation.

Much is being revealed now about the Saudis involvement in financing terrorism around the world, yet their crime of isolating and then raising the "Palestinians" like ganger Rottweilers is never addressed. The dogs of Al'Queda are returning to bite them. I hope the Palis get a few chunks before they have to be put down.

I was first made aware of this years ago. Do you know how long this type of thing has been happening? Not just the Children's Club, but the whole culture of glorified suicide? My guess is at least 20 years.

Sad that people would offer up their own children for the political race hatred of the PA. Just heartbreaking.

Wahabbism is near 200 years old with its founder Wahab. It is a staple in the Muslim world and the "Palistinians" are only doing what the madrassas have been teaching the violent, hateful, warring Wahabists since that time.

If one wants to overcome the hate, one has to destroy it at its source.

I saw a video of this about a year ago. It is absolutely sickening.

It is sad that with vile like this in the world, some activists are busy concerning themselves with denouncing "The Passion".

Like your post NewRome!

Some points tho.. The Mexicans aren't suicde bombers bent on destroying us, they are economic immigrants who just want to work... and do carry do the USA some economic Benefits for the country.
They are however ILLEGAL immigrants and should be stopped.

In fact, I believe we need to virtually stop all immigration to this country (except hardship cases)Until we get a better handle it, and re-evaluate what policies and which immigrants would be most beneficial to us.. taking into consideration some that also wouldn't, but is in keeping with our humanitarian tradition.

As for the Saudis?
They are NOTHING but TALIBAN WITH OIL and have done more damage financing Madrassas and Mosques (Including here) than one can imagine. Their Vile Wahab legacy and radicalism already in the pipeline will continue for another 20 years even if we Stopped them today.

more later

I don’t know if you are aware of my views on Islam. While the majority of its followers wish to get along peacefully in this world my readings into the Holy books lead me to believe that they are bad Muslims.

Muhammad’s definition of holiness seems to fly to wherever it was convenient at the time. Unlike Jesus, he indulged in a wide range of heinous behavior that I’m certain you are aware of. One follower was killed before his peers because he hesitated to kill a Jew fast enough to please him, despite a record of unstinting obedience before that.

The recorded quotes of Allah sound far more like the angel cast down by God than a God of equal or greater standing. Allah dwells on killing, revenge and demands of absolute subservience, endlessly repeated like a human plagued with an incurable lack of self-esteem.

I wondered at this until learning that the vast majority of Islam’s followers were illiterate. That they are dependant on the fey interpretations of a corrupt priesthood that are able to hide behind the facade of “involuntary leadership” cements my opinion that the whole setup is based on deception and lies.

The only character in my Judeo-Christian learning that would benefit from that is
Lucifer, Lord of Light, Master of Deception, consigned to the Pit and challenged to gather as many souls as it can before the final trumpet sounds.

Call me simplistic, but I can not imagine any better way to gather over a billion souls for damnation than this. That is the large game according to unrelated writings, just as the great flood and the destruction of a sinful city are common themes between totally unconnected civilizations.

Help me out if I’m wrong on any of this.

I just wanted to be up front about being a misanthropic redneck Christian fanatic who sees conspiracies everywhere. But I’m not killing people nor have any desire to.

You are doing excellent work exposing CAIR, by the way. Good luck in your endeavors.

'SHOCKING' OMISSION BY AP

Dear HonestReporting Subscriber,

On Feb. 26, the IDF arrested three Palestinian boys ¯ aged 12, 13, and 15 ¯ armed with homemade weapons and attempting to infiltrate Israel from the West Bank. The boys told police that they were trying to reach the Israeli town of Afula, where they were planning to open fire on civilians, then die as "martyrs."

No observer of Palestinian society could be surprised by this event. Besides being regularly used as guinea pigs by terrorist groups, Palestinian children are raised in a culture that glamorizes violence at every turn, encouraging active participation in suicide terror from the youngest age.

Yet in covering the arrest of these three young boys, Associated Press includes no reference whatsoever to Palestinian cultural encouragement of child terrorism ¯ and actually goes a step further, describing the boys' act as "sparking horror" and "shock" among Palestinians that such a thing could occur:

In an article headlined "Use of Young Recruits Upsets Palestinians," AP reports that

[13-year old] Tarek's parents were outraged and criticized Islamic Jihad for recruiting youngsters for an attack that would likely lead to their deaths... the ages of the Tubas youths was especially shocking for many... [they] found it hard to reconcile their image of their children with that of militants.

Then AP quotes the official PA position:

"That's absolutely unacceptable," said Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat. "Our children should have hope and a future and should not be suicide bombers. We want them to be doctors and engineers."

Does AP seriously believe that an intelligent reader is convinced that Palestinian parents and officials are "shocked" by child violence?

While American kids collect baseball cards, Palestinian kids eagerly collect "terrorist cards." MEMRI documents regular PA sermons urging children to blow themselves up while "plunging into the midst of the Jews." And Itamar Marcus recently testified to the US Senate on the systematic indoctrination of young Palestinian children ¯ through official PA schoolbooks, public events, television, and even music videos ¯ to become suicide terrorists "for the sake of Allah."

What conclusion can be drawn? Perhaps AP is woefully ignorant of the constant brainwashing of Palestinian children to seek religious "martyrdom" through suicide terror. Alternatively, AP's complete omission of key context ¯ while presenting the child violence as a shocking surprise for Palestinian parents and officials ¯ is a blatant violation of media objectivity, effectively covering up for Palestinian society's appalling mistreatment of children.

Interesting, isn't it, that on the wall of the home of the 12-year old arrested in this incident were posters glorifying armed Palestinian thugs:
