Another Fine Example of Children's Programming in Gaza

Children's television in the United States features lovable (if sometimes grouchy) characters such as Benny Rabbit who complains when his name is mispronounced.


Children's programming in Gaza features lovable characters such as Assud the rabbit who threatens to "kill and eat Jews."


From the Mail Online:

An Islamic TV station using a Bugs Bunny lookalike to preach hatred to children has been slammed by religious leaders in the UK who fear it could brainwash vulnerable British children.

Assud the rabbit, who vows to 'kill and eat Jews' and glorifies the maiming of 'infidels' appears on Palestinian children's show, Tomorrow's Pioneers.

The rabbit is a number of characters who is punished by viewer's vote when he breaches Sharia law.

In one episode, Assud admits stealing money and is seen begging for mercy after young viewers and parents phone in demanding his hands are cut off as punishment.

Assud the rabbit is threatened with punishment for stealing on Palestinian children's show Tomorrow's Pioneers

At that point the 11-year-old presenter intervenes - and rules that the bunny should only have his ears severed because he has repented.
All cultures are not created equal.
