Tho i agree with Hamas in that they had been elected then overthrown by u.s.
and israel,and that this should not just be accepted and let go, and what
i've seen of the show, it does not so much instill hate as it reaches out to
kids who've seen so much violence are in the Midst of violence and tells
them resistance is their right. I don't see them saying Kill anyone, but
resist. Know that you stand in truth when you stand for justice. I think
this is an appropriate nonviolent means to educate and resist the
injustices.
I see Hamas saying they don't recognize Israel as a state, and i agree with
that, if the Indiginous peoples of U.S. of A. came forward in the 5 tribes
with this righteousness and seek for justice, how different would our
country, our world look?
Here is what i put in response on the blog, tho i wasn't able to navigate
the registration for cbs in order to post it.
Responding to a post saying they're telling kids to kill,
>>
Where on the video does it show that?
What the realm of this video does is teach to kids already living amidst
Great violence and in a country which was having an election, the envy of
our lack of integrity in our elections, duly elected the Hamas govt., who
was then overthrown by our own govt. and Israel!
I agree there are Better ways than violence, but telling children in an
occupied country that they've a Right to resist, a duty to stand up to the
greed and the occupation as well as the injustices they see on a daily basis
is a Nonviolent form of education. I object to violence, yet when efforts
such as this fafou is forced out, it leaves less and less avenues to dealing
with the occupation and subjugation of a people.
I applaud Hamas's efforts in this show to further the education, Except if
they're promoting Violence. Resistance except if they're promoting Hate.
>From the little i've seen they've not done either, yet the media and the
willfully ignorant insist this is what they've done.
I for one will explore this further as i feel they were onto something good
here.
Peace through Justice through Truth,
Needed Nowhere so much as here in the U.S. of A.<<<<
For those who had jumped to conclusions as did i at first, please check out
the video with an open mind and then read some of the blog comment responses
on the site.
It reiterates for me more than ever that we are standing for truth and
justice when we stand behind prop 190.
O.k. Aimee, now my crisis is this, i realize that this proposition 190 is
calling for withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian lands, that we as two
members of gpax feel that we're complicit in the turmoil in that it is our
govt. perpetuating the injustice.
My crisis is How do we approach this from this standpoint of promoting
nonviolence and resistance, here in our own country, in response? I'm
reading the screenplay of Gandhi, the movie that starred Ben Kinsley and am
getting Many ideas and thoughts, but none quite jelling.
Peace,

A Mickey <http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3419244,00.html#n>
Mouse lookalike who preached Islamic domination on a Hamas-affiliated
children's television program was the victim of a pretend beating death in
the show's final episode Friday.
In the final skit, the "Farfur" character was killed by an actor posing as
an Israeli official trying to buy Farfur's land. At one point, the mouse
called the Israeli a "terrorist."
Criticism
Disney's daughter slams Hamas' Mickey / Yaakov Lappin
(VIDEO) Diane Disney says Palestinian group is 'pure evil' for using
character to incite children to violence
Full <http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3397982,00.html> story
"Farfur was martyred while defending his land," said Sara, the teen
presenter. He was killed "by the killers of children," she added.
The weekly show, featuring a giant black-and-white rodent with a
high-pitched voice, had attracted worldwide attention because the character
urged Palestinian children to fight Israel
<http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3419244,00.html#n> . It was
broadcast on Hamas-affiliated al-Aqsa TV.
Station officials said Friday that Farfour was taken off the air to make
room for new programs. Station manager Mohammed Bilal said he did not know
what would be shown instead.
Israeli officials have denounced the program, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," as
incendiary and outrageous. The program was also opposed by the state-run
Palestinian Broadcasting Corp., which is controlled by Fatah, Hamas' rival.
Hamas vows to fight multinational force in Gaza
Hamas armed wing says it will regard any foreign forces deployed in Gaza as
occupying forces, and will greet them with 'rockets and shells'
Ali Waked
Published: 06.30.07, 12:58 / Israel News
<http://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-3082,00.html>
Hamas reiterated Saturday that it would forcefully resist the deployment of
a multi-national force in the Gaza Strip.
The group's armed wing, the Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said in a
statement that they would regard "any foreign force as an occupying force,
and we will respond decisively."
Hamas issued similar warnings when the proposal to deploy a multinational
force was initially made after Hamas' takeover of the Gaza Strip a few weeks
ago.
