Teach your children well, Hezbollah style

My children are age 5 and 4. The videos we let them watch are Care Bears, Bambi, Fox and the Hound, Snow White, Veggie Tales, Country Mouse City Mouse, etc... Nothing very violent, always with an uplifting message. Focusing on whatsoever is good and pure, as the Good Book says.

MEMRI has video of an Egyptian children's claymation show from Al-Manar TV, which is affiliated with the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah. It shows Jews turning into apes and pigs and being washed away in the sea.

A translation, and a link to the actual video which you can view, are here.

An excerpt:

[While jumping up and down, Pinhas, Shamloun, Habakkuk, and others in the marketplace turn into apes. The boy and his grandfather open a door in the wall and step to the other side with some other villagers.]

Grandfather: "Look, my child, the young among them have turned into apes, and their elderly have become pigs."

Boy: "They should know that the Lord speaks the truth and punishes severely."

Grandfather: "Praise the Lord, who has saved us. They remained in this condition for three days, and then were annihilated. The wind has cast them into the sea."

[Music plays as the apes and pigs are cast into the sea.]

Such hatred of the Jews is commonplace among Muslims and Muslim media. Just in the last few days MEMRI has other examples.

From this page:

In an article titled "Israel's Lies" in the Egyptian government evening paper Al-Masaa, columnist Hisham Abd Al-Rauf wrote that there were no massacres of the Jews during World War II, and that the gas chambers were intended for disinfecting clothing. Hitler, he wrote, was not against the Jews, and had even permitted Jews to emigrate to Palestine during his first years in power.

Lebanon's Largest Government University Hosts Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV Symposium Calling to Wipe Israel Off The Map: ‘Just Like Hitler Fought The Jews…We Too Should Fight The Jews and Burn Them’

When Iranian President Ahmadinejad said Israel should be "wiped off the map", or when he said Israel should be established in Europe, he wasn't trying to introduce some radical new philosophy. He was simply saying things that were part and parcel of his everyday experience. His audience would understand such utterances to be as natural as discussing soccer scores.

(For something to relate to, imagine a group of far Leftys engaged in conversation, and one says "President Bush is evil and the greatest danger to the world today", and the others just nod in serious agreement.)

Such hatred is common in Israel's enemies. It is a brother to the hatred which drives terrorists to blow up weddings in Jordan, or children in Iraq, or trains in Madrid and London. This hatred will not be defeated by ingratiating, apologetic cooing words of understanding and sensitivity.

The rest of the world can hold up a mirror to it, and let it see its ugly reflection, but ultimately this hatred can only be killed.
