Instilling young Palestinian children with their parents' ideals on Hamas children's tv. Instead of Sesame Street, this is what they get.
Watch a four-year-old girl sings about the glories of her mother, female suicide bomber Reem Riyashi.
Imagine coming from a culture where maternal self-sacrifice means not how much one's mother was prepared to do to to help her children; but, rather, that she considered taking care of her children of lesser importance than blowing herself up while killing a few enemies.
Now there's a life lesson no shrink will be able to overcome.
And there's a whole generation being trained up to think this way. These are now "Palestinian values."
Golda Meir's words are as relevant now as the day they were first spoken: “We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”
That goal is not yet in sight.
Palestinian Media Watch provides the translation of the song:
The following is the text of the song that Duha, Reem's daughter, sings to her mother:
[Daughter sees mother preparing explosives sticks]
"Mommy, what are you carrying in your arms instead of me?
[Mother turns to hide bomb]
A toy or a present for me?... Mommy Reem! Why did you put on your veil? Are you going out, Mommy?... Come back quickly, Mommy I can't sleep without you, unless you tell me and Ubaydah [her brother] a bedtime story.
[Daughter sees mother's picture and news story about bombing on PA TV]
My mother, my mother, Me and Ubaydah are awake and waiting for you to come to put us to sleep. Me and Ubaydah, oh Mommy, still need you to wipe our tears... Instead of me you carried a bomb in your hands. Only now, I know what was more precious than us... May your steps be blessed, and may you be flawless for Jerusalem. Me and Ubaydah wish we were there with you.
[Images of her mother's grave and the graves of other terrorists, including Aayat Al-Akhras, 17-year-old female suicide terrorist]
Send greetings to our Messenger [Muhammad] and tell him: 'Duha loves you.' My love will not be [merely] words. I am following Mommy in her steps.
[Finds explosives that mother left in her drawer, picks up stick of explosives]
Good for Canada, or at least one theater production company therein.
Toronto's Canadian Stage Company has decided not to stage My Name is Rachel Corrie, the controversial play about an American peace activist killed by an Israeli bulldozer.
It was a decision based on the play's merits, rather than the political controversy that dogs it, CanStage artistic producer Martin Bragg said in an interview with CBC.ca. "It was an artistic decision," said Bragg, who saw the play in New York. "It just didn't work on stage."
And this decision comes from someone originally interested in the play, and moved by reading it, deciding that the play did not work dramatically on the stage:
"If you cut through the hysteria around this play — which is being created by people who haven't read this play or gone to see it — the real problem was, no one went to see it," he said.
A dramatic failure. Good for him. Not everyone likes to pay for an evening of undiluted propaganda.
According to Israeli intelligence information, Hizbullah is smuggling cash into the Gaza Strip and paying "a number of unknown local splinter groups" for each attack.
Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) sources said the Islamist organization paid several thousand dollars for each attack, with the amount dependent on the number of Israelis killed or wounded.
"We know that Hizbullah is involved in funding terrorist activity in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank," a security official said.
So that is the Iranian backed Shi'ite army paying Sunnis in Gaza to fire Kassam missiles on Israel.
When the spirit so moves them, Sunnis and Shi'ites are capable of a unity of purpose.
In other news, during the last month - which was a period of ceasefire - 64 missiles fell on Israel. The good news is that is only a quarter of the usual amount.
In a new first, Fatima Omar Mahmud al-Najar, a Palestinian Grandmother, blew herself up in a suicide bombing on Thursday, November 23, killing herself and lightly wounding three Israeli soldiers.
The mother of nine and grandmother of 41 became the oldest Palestinian suicide bomber at the age of 57, approaching troops operating to curb daily rocket attacks, the army said.
"Troops saw a woman approaching them in a suspicious manner and identified her carrying an explosive device," a spokeswoman said of the incident in the northern town of Jabaliya.
"They then threw a stun grenade in her direction but she managed to blow herself up," the spokeswoman said, adding that three soldiers were lightly hurt.
This was obviously a very proud moment for Hamas for reaching and surpassing this hurdle, as the bombing was claimed within minutes.
Apparently, it was a proud moment for the entire family as well that their mother and grandmother reacted to the Israeli shelling at Beit Hanoun where faulty equipment led to the death of 19 civilians by blowing herself up to become a martyr.
Relatives said Najar had seven sons and two daughters, plus some 41 grandchildren, and that they were proud of her "martyrdom", which daughter Azhar said was a direct response to the Beit Hanun shelling.
"She did this operation in response to the Beit Hanun massacre. She was very moved by what happened," said Azhar, speaking from home in Jabaliya where relatives came to congratulate Najar's nearest and dearest.
Azhar also said her mother had taken part in a daring rescue operation, staged by Palestinian mothers and wives, who acted as human shields to free more than a dozen gunmen holed up in a Beit Hanun mosque on November 3.
Zuheir, Najar's 20-year-old son, told AFP from the family home: "We are really happy. It's a big operation. She told us last night that she would do a suicide operation. She prepared her clothes for that operation and we are proud.
"'I don't want anything, only to die a martyr.' That's what she said."
Lovely sentiment.
Another thing to be thankful is that we were not born into and propagandized by this death cult.
