A child stabs President George W. Bush to death and the White House becomes a grand mosque in a children's puppet show broadcast on the official television channel of Hamas, the ruling Palestinian Authority party.
In the Al-Aqsa TV skit, aired yesterday, the child confronts the US leader: "I have come to take revenge with this sword -- revenge for my mother and my sisters. You are a criminal, Bush! You are despicable. You made me an orphan! You took everything from me, Bush! I must take revenge on you, with this sword of Islam, the prophet's Al-Battar sword."
The Bush character tries to appease the child with food, toys and a visit to the White House but is rebuffed, as seen in a video clip translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
"You are impure, Bush, so you are not allowed inside the White House," the child figure says, because "it has been turned into a great mosque for the nation of Islam."
The child declares: "I will kill you just like Mu'az killed Abu Lahab (an enemy of Islam's prophet Muhammad). I will kill you, Bush, because that is your fate."
The child then stabs Bush repeatedly, and eventually smiles at his successful execution: "Ahhh, I killed him."
On previous al-Aksa kid's shows, various animals -- a bee, a mouse, a rabbit -- have advocated or performed killing, but this marks the first time a child is portrayed as murdering.
Pre-school kids have been interviewed approving of the killing of Jews as a commandment of Allah.
