Teaching Chilren to Hate... Palestinian Mickey Mouse 'Marytred"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19509117/

(snip)
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A Mickey Mouse lookalike who preached Islamic domination on a Hamas-affiliated children's television program was beaten to death in the show's final episode Friday.

In the final skit, Farfour was killed by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy Farfour's land. At one point, the mouse called the Israeli a "terrorist."

"Farfour was martyred while defending his land," said Sara, the teen presenter. He was killed "by the killers of children," she added.

1. Oh, that's so sad.

It seems as if the extremists around the world have a great deal of influence anymore (including the hardright religious zealots in the U.S.).

3. I hate to say this but what makes this any different than the

NeoCon Christians teaching their children that Gays, Liberals and anyone that doesn't believe in their chosen God should die?

They are all one in the same using a God Figure or a comic figure to preach their hate.

Just askin...

7. When it is on PBS and paid for by your tax money

then your comparison will be correct. The issue here is that a government entity is fomenting hate and bigotry using the government air ways.

8. Teaching Children to Hate . . . State-Sanctioned Nationalism Supports Theory of American Moral

Superiority Taught in Our Nation's Schools

marginalized kids taught its their own fault they can't succeed, xenophobes stoke the flames of racist hatred by waving flags, pledging allegiance, and creating generalized FEAR of brown "Other."

school teaches children the pilgrims saved the indians and that's why we have thanksgiving.

film at 11.
