Jihadass, The Children’s Show
Where was “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” when I had to sit with the kids watching all that Barney and Teletubbies and Sesame Street … all those decadent western shows with their “educational” messages and their “I love you, you love me.”
The latest on Hamas’ al-Aqsa TV. This is like “Jackass” for kids:
JERUSALEM - An animal rights group has slammed a controversial Hamas TV kids’ program in which a man swings cats by their tails and throws stones at lions in a zoo to teach children not to abuse animals.
“Tomorrow’s Pioneers” has recently featured a child star advocating martyrdom and a giant mouse who was beaten to death by a “Zionist.” The latest crazy episode features bizarre acts of cat-swinging and lion-teasing by a man in a bee costume named Nahoul. The show’s young host warns kids not to try it at home.
“They say this is supposed to be educational on how not to treat animals, but it is common knowledge that children will mimic the behavior they see,” said Martin Mersereau of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He said animal abuse can’t be ignored even where violence against humans is common. Hamas drew widespread criticsm for its bloody takeover of Gaza in June, when gunmen threw rivals off roofs and executed them.
“Teaching people to respect the most defenseless of animals helps people respect each other,” Mersereau said.
Really, PETA is being a little harsh, when you consider that this is a step forward from the usual exhortations to martyrdom and genocide, and a sincere effort by Hamas to teach kindness to animals in their own uniquely terroristic way. Let’s have a little multi-cultural understanding here, people!
Learn kindness to animals the Palestinian way here. I don’t know about you, but I was rooting for the lions, hoping the cage door might swing open and they’d get to claw a little feline justice on Nahoul’s stripey behind. Key difference between Hamas and “Jackass.” Johnny Knoxville would have been in the cage. And Steve-o would have been throwing himself off the rooftops. In the end I think I have to say I just don’t have much respect for Hamas.
Surber: “I question this tactic of trying to indocrinate kids with cartoons. Years of Romper Room failed to make baby boomers any less rude or self-centered. Captain Planet and the Planeteers have been tossed away. And Sesame Steet failed to have much effect upon inner city kids who took to crack and crime just as quickly as previous generations.”

In case you missed it last week, here’s the darling 11-year-old host of “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” expressing her dream to be a doctor or a martyr when she grows up, also, to run little Zionist girls out of their houses so little Palestinian girls may reclaim them.

[...] Jules Crittenden, meanwhile, poked fun at PeTA for protesting the Hamas children’s TV show for having a man who swings cats by their tales and throws stones at the lions at the zoo — to show kids not to abuse animals. Yes, save those stones for raped women and Jews. Crittenden’s post is here. [...]

I think that “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” segment demonstrates as clearly as anything has so far the state that Palestinian society is in today. They try to teach their kids not to abuse animals… and they don’t know how to do it except with brutality. How do you save a society that pathological?

Can you imagine Johnny Knoxville and Steve O and the rest of the Jackass gang going on that show?
Those kids would forgo jihad and attempt to zoom down Mt Ararat with a wobbly shopping cart - and then try to shoot over Israel with jerry-rigged rocket. Only one question: will Chris Pontius in a Speedo running through the Gaza strip be used for the November sweeps? Then the “leaders” will find themselves in all sorts of predicaments, many involving golf balls launched at private parts, and some eating forbidden food products.
Hey, if lowest-common-denominator comedy won’t bring peace and a state to Palestine, what will?
