Hamas Kids' TV teaches a healthy diet: Don't eat a Danish, Eat a Dane!

Something rotten in a state-that-will-never-be for a people that never misses a chance to miss a chance to show the world how undeserving it is of existence.
 
Hamas children's TV dedicated a program to hatred of Denmark, the West and Israel, climaxing with a statement about the West by the co-host, a giant rabbit character named Assud: "If they repeat it we will kill them ... I will bite them and eat them!"

The program focuses on the demand to boycott Danish and Israeli products. Denmark and the West are targeted because of the cartoons featuring Muhammad that first appeared in a Danish newspaper. Israel is targeted because it exists. Saraa, the young TV hostess, describes the publication of the Muhammad cartoons as "the West's attack against the Messenger [Muhammad]."



Palestinian children phone into the program to condemn the "cowardly infidels" and vow to fight them.

The children's program, Tomorrow's Pioneers, has used its previous animal character co-hosts, the Mickey Mouse lookalike Farfur and the bee Nahul, to champion violence, promote hatred of Israel and preach about world Islamic supremacy. To further reinforce its anti-Israel message, Hamas has killed off both characters and blamed Israel.

Following is the transcript:

Saraa: Did you see the West's attack against the Messenger [Muhammad]?
What do you have to say about this?
Amaani, 10 year old girl by phone: I say to the cowardly infidels...
Assud: Criminals.
Amaani: Criminals.
Assud: Do you boycott Israeli and Danish products?
Amaani: Yes
Assud: You don't eat them at all?
Amaan: I don't eat them at all.
Assud: Great! Keep it up!
Saraa: We will all boycott Danish products, and Israeli products first.

Saraa: What can we do for the Messenger?
Inaas, 10 year old girl by phone: We can fight them because
they cursed Allah's Messenger.
Saraa: 'Tomorrow's Pioneers' army will redeem the Messenger,
with their possessions and their blood, Assud,
and will not let them repeat this attack.
Assud: If they repeat it we will kill them, by Allah.
Saraa: In His will.
Assud: I will bite them and eat them!
