"Re: "Israeli columnist Gideon Levy told Roth, "A child in Gaza does not need a cartoon in order to hate the occupation, to hate Israel. He opens his eyes in the morning and he sees reality around him."

The Israelis, too, have people who always blame their own country first for all of the world's problems. Gideon Levy would probably change his tune quickly if he were the victim of a kidnapping, suicide bombing, or looking at the barrel of a Palestinia gun.

Despite a rival Palestinian faction's effort to censor the show, a Hamas official insisted, "It's our right to tell our children what we want."


That sentiment is fully in keeping with that of most people in the u.s.. It is ESPECIALLY prevalent among those who openly bray of their "christian" convictions.

It is and has been a guarantor of the perpetuation of ignorance, hatred, and the complete denial of reasoned open discourse in human societies since time immemorial.

What is the basis for "the right to indoctrinate children"?

REMINDER: In June of this year the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza will be 40 years old.
REMINDER: The reason this brutal occupation just goes on and on and on is because the Palestinians have been unable to satisfy the demands made by Israel to prove to the Israelis the Palestinians are worthy of the same rights everyone else in the world are born into.
In the meantime, Israelis have used this as a pretext to confiscate land, demolish homes, use Palestinians for target practice, emprison them and torture them, and empty machine guns in the guts of 13 year old kids whenever an Israeli soldier is having a bad day.
Israel claims International Law doesn't apply to the Palestinians, nor do Israeli laws apply to them either. Therefore, Palestinians are fair game for any and all Israelis who want them dead, or want the Palestinians' land.
So whatever the Palestinians do, whatever they say JUST DOESN'T MATTER. It only matters as far as it can be used for propaganda purposes against the Palestinians.
So, you see, the fake Mickey Mouse is the least of the problems here.

Boo707Shay,

I gotta go, so I don't have time to complete this conversation.

I think everyone in the Middle East should choose up sides, declare war, and winner take all. I'm tired of hearing about the Middle East.

When you talk about the Chinese and giving back the US to the Indians; they are not Palestinian lands, how many people have claimed the Middle East as "theirs?" the Palestians are just the latest to claim the land.

Gotta go.

The Palestinians murder innocent people, Israelis and their own, yet believe they should be treated as the civilized people they aren't. What fluff! When will they build better futures for their children? Instead, teach them murder and hate. The Palestinians can't even make it in their own territory.
