Iran: Children's TV show instructs toddlers to wage jihad against Israel and embrace "martyrdom"

For example, one of the ways the female host of the show indoctrinated the children was to assert, "I am willing to sacrifice myself. I am willing to sacrifice my arms, my legs, and all my limbs, my family, and my property, in order to achieve my goals."

"Iranians urge kids to fight 'evil' Israel," from WorldNetDaily, January 3:

Children's TV program embraces 'martyrdom' amid Gaza conflict.

Amid Israel's counteroffensive in Gaza to stop rocket attacks against its civilian population, an Iranian children's TV show taught toddlers to embrace "martyrdom" and hate their Jewish "enemies."

"We all loathe those enemies. We all loathe them. We are furious at them. We identify with the Palestinian children," said the female host of the program on Iran's Channel 1 Monday, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI

The host, noting the children were wearing traditional Palestinian kaffiyeh scarves as a sign of solidarity, said the "enemy" was turning "the oppressed children of Gaza into martyrs."[...]

Israel has maintained it is targeting only Hamas sites and leaders tied to the rocket attacks. But the terrorist group has placed its operations within residential areas, resulting in unintentional civilian casualties. Hamas, on the other hand, is aiming its missiles at Israeli population centers.

The TV host asked the Iranian children what they would do if they were in the place of the Palestinian children, "Would we surrender, or would we fight back?"

The children replied in unison: "Fight back."

A child chimed in: "We would all get together so we could fight. ..."

The TV host finished the child's sentence: " ... the enemies and the bad people. That's right, we would struggle against them and fight them."

The host declared she is willing to be a martyr for Islam.

"I am willing to sacrifice myself. I am willing to sacrifice my arms, my legs, and all my limbs, my family, and my property, in order to achieve my goals," she said.

Hamas, through it's Al-Aqsa TV, has aired similar programs for children in the Palestinian territories. One program featured a Mickey Mouse-knockoff who taught children to fight for Israel's destruction and Islam's domination over the world.

In the show's final episode, the mouse was "martyred" by Israel "while defending his land," a teen TV hostess declared.

As WND reported, Hamas launched a children's website in 2002, encouraging kids to follow the example of terrorist suicide bombers.

WND also reported the children's website featured comic strips encouraging hatred of Israelis, who are defined as "evil Zionists."

I wonder if she'll be ready to give up her clitoris, if and when she's asked to do so.

This just the sorted type of propaganda that is so hateful to me. Urging children to hate and die for a people who care nothing for them.

Democrats and liberals should be made to watch this and then see what they say. It may not help but they should get a better picture of everyones enemy,Islam.

Gotta love how things that are traditionally Arabic are now called "traditional Palestinian".

There is no way these people can get any more depraved than they already are.

This is what happens when Islam and Sharia are in charge...extreme depravity, even toddlers are not
excluded from this evil, but brought right into the middle of it, to be fed a diet of hate and discontent. Allah and the Prophet are in the thick of it...

Islam never passes up an opportunity to show the world it's depravity...that can't be hidden, it's part of Allah's basic nature...

Islam is child abuse.

Islam deceives minds and souls. Only those who know and believe the Bible as the Word of God can escape deception. The Bible teaches that the body should be presented as a "living sacrifice". Rom.12:1
Islam teaches that the sacrifice which is acceptable is death. Only God's truth as revealed in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is able to deliver the souls of those who are being deceived by the evil of Islam. Pity the poor Muslim children-their minds are in bondage to that evil.
When will Americans who say they are followers of Jesus Christ courageously call evil evil?

Decent people do everything possible to protect children from violence. Only the worst of the worst deliberately inculcate this kind of violence into innocent little children--kidnappers turning kids into child soldiers, the Hitler Youth, and, of course, Islam.

"I am willing to sacrifice myself. I am willing to sacrifice my arms, my legs, and all my limbs...

Is this woman some kind of octopoid mutant?

ZenaWarriorPrincess: They are being controlled by SATAN. In biblical prophecy it is stated this would happen. People would be easily deceived by Satan. "He goes round like a roaring lion to see who he may deceive!"
It states in the BIBLE this would intensify in the "END TIMES" which we know is now.
