'Children’s TV Shows for a New Generation of Terrorists

April 2nd, 2008 – 7:52 AM

A young boy enters the White House and accosts President Bush. He accuses the President of killing his dad in the Iraq War, and joining with “the criminal Zionists” to kill his mom in Lebanon and his brothers “in the Gaza holocaust.” Then, drying his tears, the child laughs as he informs Bush that he and “thousands of children” have turned the White House into a “great mosque for the nation of Islam.”

The show ends with the boy repeatedly plunging a sword into the President, who convulses, screams and dies.

A sick fantasy? Sick, yes, but it’s a sickness broadcast to thousands of Palestinian children across Gaza. The episode above is from last weekend’s kids’ programming on Al Aksa, the Hamas television station that broadcasts to Gaza’s 1.5 million inhabitants.'
