Assud the Jew-eating rabbit to have his hand amputated?
In case anyone missed it yesterday, MEMRI released a translation of Hamas' Jihadi Television's 'kids show,' Tomorrow's Pioneers, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on Friday, July 11, 2008. In the 'episode,' Assud the Jew-eating rabbit is Tempted by Satan to steal and is sentenced by children viewers to have his hand chopped off.Let's go to the videotape. A transcript follows and I'll have a comment at the end.
Assud the bunny: In the name of Allah, I hope my dad doesn't see me. God, make him go on sleeping, while I take one or two bills. There's his stash of money... Man, there is so much money here... No, I must put it back. Stealing is forbidden.Note that when asked whether Saraa should have her hand chopped off if she were caught stealing, the child says no. That is also characteristic of 'Palestinian' society. You will never find the children of the people in charge - say Ismail Haniyeh or Mahmoud Zahar (the two main Hamas leaders in Gaza) - acting as suicide bombers. Years ago, the IDF intercepted a phone conversation in which the wife of a Hamas leader (sorry, I forget who it was) was asked to send her son to commit a suicide bombing. She refused and said that was for the lesser people to do and not for her son. The tape was broadcast on Israel Radio so that we would all see that the 'Palestinians' are not so willing to 'sacrifice' their own children - only the children of others.
Satan: No, no... What are you doing, Assud? No, Assud, I promised you that nobody would see you or know about this. Take one or two bills. Don't be afraid, Assud.
Assud: Okay, I'll just take one... Actually, I'll take two.
Satan: No, take three.

Voice of girl: Assud, you were wrong to follow Satan, who is the source of all problems. In addition, you caused problems between your parents. You have no right to cause such a great problem. Don't you know that stealing leads to Hell. The Prophet Muhammad said: "If my daughter Fatima had stolen, I would have chopped off her hand." If you were in Saudi Arabia now, they would chop off your hand. Allah said in the Koran: "As for a thief, male or female, cut off their hands: A punishment by example, for their crime."

Child TV host Saraa: What do you think about what Assud did?
Asmaa: It was wrong, because "as for a thief, male or female, cut of their hands."
Assud: Oh my God! You say that my hand should be chopped off, Asmaa?
Asmaa: Yes.
Assud: You think my hand should be chopped off?
Asmaa: What?
Assud: You want my hand to be chopped off?
Asmaa: Yes.
[...]
Nur: The Prophet Muhammad said: "If my daughter Fatima had stolen, I would have chopped off her hand.
Assud: So if Saraa were to steal, her hand should be chopped off, right?
Nur: No.
Assud: When you were little, didn't you ever steal a shekel or something?
Nur: No, because Allah is watching me.
Saraa: Nur, do you think we should go ahead and chop off Assud's hand now?
Assud: No, no. Saraa, I'm begging you...
Nur: Saraa, he has repented and promised never to do it again, then that's it.
Saraa: Well, if we don't chop off his hand, maybe we should chop off his ear?
Assud: No, please, no, I'm begging you...

The terrorist leaders never sacrifice their lives - just that of their deluded followers. And oh, yes - you may infer from the exchange on the Hamas' children's show that stealing is a far worse crime than murdering a Jew! Property is sacred; the Jew is expendable.
Demotix- The Citizen Wire
Dear Carl,
You're site is fantastic. We hope you might see a cross over with what we're launching!
Demotix is a website for user-generated news, and a citizen ‘wire’ service. Think of it like Flickr or YouTube, but only for original photo/video news. You tell us what is going on, we tell the worldwide web and the world’s mainstream media. As of now, www.demotix.com is live.
Why are we doing it?
We believe citizen journalism – well-managed – can be a tremendous force in political participation, civil society, and freedom of speech around the world. And we believe the media needs rescuing.
• Only four US newspapers have foreign news desks (the NY Times, LA Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal), and there are only 141 US foreign correspondents currently working today (in print and broadcast media)
• In the UK, a 2006 study of the broadsheets showed that more than 50% of the news was directly attributable to press releases
• The world’s media (over 90%) relies on the wire services – the Associated Press and Reuters – for their news. But some 80 countries, or 40% of the world’s nations, have no bureau from either agency.
The news is shrinking daily. We hope Demotix can plug that gap, and more.
We hope to be giving a megaphone to the man and woman in the street with a story to tell. We hope to be able to change the news map – bringing real, raw, original information from countries and about issues the mainstream media haven’t touched in years.
Eventually we hope that Demotix will be THE place where anyone in the world can go, in safety, to upload news – major, minor, local, cultural, political, social... We already have agreements with the Daily Telegraph, Newsweek, La Repubblica, Prospect and others – and will now supply them with a daily wire and picture feed of 'citizen' news. We have also built partnerships with Amnesty, Reporters Sans Frontieres, Witness and many others.
But we need your help. We want to do in pictures/video what you do for text. If you think there is a cross-over and you like us, please write about us, link to us, spread the news. We're nothing without contributors, and your readers are exactly whom we want to be reaching out to. We can get their news out to the world, and in the process change what news is reported. And we'll charge the mainstream media for anything they use, splitting the fees 50:50 with our contributors.
Please be in touch! Are there other ways we might collaborate?
With all thanks
Turi
