Well, Hamas hadn't done anything truly despicable for a few days, so they had to keep their average up. Unbelievable. It would be laughable if it weren't so awful.
I have to say, though, that Daily Mail looks like kind of a rag.

Wow, that's actually pretty smart the way they brainwash: Create a character, get kids to fall in love with him, and then have him 'killed off' by Israelis. Replace him with another cute character who vows vengence. It's a vicious cycle that kinda parrallels what happens with real Hamas leaders.
Can you imagine watching sesame street and suddenly big bird is offed by commies? That would have screwed me up for life.

I think Sesame Street was written by commies. Or hippies, anyway.
They probably would have had Big Bird get offed by Nixon. But the effect would be the same.

Ahh, this is no different than from Popeye or G.I. Joe, among other pro-American cartoon creations designed to motivate and conserva-tize the younger generations.
You want to see a really racially-shocking cartoon? Look up the Popeye episode "You're a Sap, Mr. Jap", and you're jaw will be dropping faster than you can say 'Spinach.'

The whole thing just smacks of crazy moral relativism.

Yeah, I guess a rabbit eating Jews isn't racially-shocking enough.
And G.I. Joe wasn't created to "conserva-tize" the youth, it was created to sell toys.

Hamas has ways of influencing their youth, the US and almost every other country in this world has ways of doing it to their own. What's your point?
Would you expect Hamas to be proudly waving an American flag, or the Star of David for that matter? Nope.

Watch the episode. Popeye blowing the crap out of Japanese soldiers who are obviously portrayed as primates is just as bad. Believe me.

If you can't tell the moral difference between a Jew-eating rabbit on a program created by Hamas and Captain America, you have some serious personal questions you should get around to answering.

When Israel turns off your power the only reasonable response is to create a bunny who eats Jews...

Hahaha....Oh my. You are quite the fragile person, aren't you?
All I'm saying is that there are other parties in this world who are guilty for the same influencing techniques as Hamas is. It should be nothing new.
I have no personal questions about myself. I stand by what I say.

Haha, I'm not fragile at all. I just am beginning to know the difference between a free state and one that is governed by a tyranny.
There are elements of jingoism in all states, true. And the propaganda films made by Warner Bros. etc... during World Wars are pretty disgusting. However, to direct this at children and manipulate their emotions in such a way that encourages them to commit their lives to a cause that they don't understand. It's disgusting.
Things like this just swing me fully back to the Israeli side.

really? i think its just perspective.
Jews are villians in Palestine. Just as we view Arabs as villians in our tv programs. When they see us doing that, they probably have the same view that how dare we stereotype them.
It does create a viscious circle, but even as a jewish person, the character doesnt really offend me. I just feel sorry for the population who dont know any better.
