Hamas kiddie TV show encourages children to murder Jews
It's been a while since we've seen Hamas' 'Pioneers of Tomorrow' children's show (the one that brought us all those cartoon characters that whined about the Jooos. But now, they're back, and they're encouraging the kiddies to murder Jews.
Let's go to the videotape.
Aren't you glad that the 'Palestinian Authority' is making peace with them? Otherwise, they could become violent....

'Angry Arab' supports David Nachalawi
You might recall the story of the soldier who has become known as David Nachalawi, the IDF soldier who was dismissed from his unit by the IDF for
cocking his weapon because he felt endangered in Hebron. Thousands of IDF soldiers have come out in support of 'Nachalawi.' In fact, rumor has it that so has
President Obama.
Now, on Egyptian television, the 'Angry Arab' has also come out
in favor of Nachalawi.
You need to understand Hebrew to really appreciate this video.
The original broadcast is from a news show in Egypt, but some Israeli put in Hebrew subtitles that had all of us in the office rolling on the floor laughing. I tried to translate it into English, but I can’t stop laughing as I watch, so I gave up.
The comments are also funny. The Israelis don’t realize the subtitles aren’t real, and the Arabs are confused as to why some of the text doesn’t exactly match what he’s saying.
I am embedding the video below. But it turns out that what's funniest about this video is the fake translation. The real video is from July 2013 and features an Egyptian opposition activist going ballistic after a speech by then-President Morsi. I'm embedding the real video with the real English translation below the fake one.
Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip:
NY Nana).
And here's the real translation into English from MEMRI in July 2013.
Let's go to the videotape.
Kind of reminds of you of some of the fake '
last days of
Hitler' videos, doesn't it?

Video: Shock and awe in Beirut
On Friday morning, Mohammed Shattah, an adviser to former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri - who was assassinated himself in 2005 - was
assassinated in downtown Beirut.
MEMRI has posted video of the reaction during the morning television show of Future TV, whose studios are near the blast site. It's worth watching.
Let's go to the videotape.
Notice how she immediately assumes it was Israel's doing....

State Department gives MEMRI $200,000
MEMRI has received a
$200,000 grant from the US State Department.
“The Department of State’s Office of International Religious Freedom in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor awarded a $200,000 grant to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) to conduct a project that documents anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial and Holocaust glorification in the Middle East. This grant will enable MEMRI to expand its efforts to monitor the media, translate materials into ten languages, analyze trends in anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial and glorification, and increase distribution of materials through its website and other outlets.”
Hats off to the Department and especially to the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, Hannah Rosenthal. I must acknowledge a special interest here: I sit on MEMRI’s board, and am a member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. It is noteworthy that the grant, by referring to Holocaust denial, clarifies that this is a form of anti-Semitism. These topics are extremely sensitive, dealing as they do with Muslim anti-Semitism, and this helps explain why the U.S. Government has sometimes shied away from confronting the phenomenon.
For this reason as well, the new grant announced by Ms. Rosenthal deserves notice and commendation.
As someone who has been critical of Rosenthal, I agree with Elliott Abrams (who posted this to his blog). Hats off to her indeed. This is great.
