Palestinian TV Teaches Kids the Way to "Jihad Street"
(Investigative Project on Terrorism) Abigail R. Esman - Every day, hundreds of millions of children in more than 120 countries settle in to watch their local versions of "Sesame Street." While in most countries the program is about how to be kind to others and to love, in Palestinian Gaza, the lessons from Hamas children's television are aimed at wanting to kill. "Pioneers of Tomorrow" has a fluffy talking bee who encourages viewers to "throw stones" at Jews, and a pretty young host who praises a little girl for her desire to be a police officer and "shoot Jews." For years, reports have emerged of children's programming in the Palestinian territories, whose shows often teach children not just to hate Americans and Jews, but to kill them.
