Egyptian TV: Jewish children 'do disgusting things'
Documents have been uncovered just in recent days describing how al-Qaida recruits children as young as 14 for suicide missions, and now a report has been released revealing Muslims using television to indoctrinate even toddlers and school-age children into a culture of death.
The new report comes from the Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors media in the Middle East, translating reports and offers a commentary perspective on the meanings.
Its new report, released today, is about a recent broadcast to children on Egypt's Al-Khaleejiyah Television. The organization has posted a video clip of the comments.
According to MEMRI's excerpts of the "Ammo Alaa" children's show, which aired on Dec. 29, 2010, the host said, "Let's see how we should answer the disgusting Jews, who say that Jerusalem belongs to them. What proof do we have that Jerusalem is Islamic? We tell our friends that ... Am I making you fall asleep, Mr. Sa'd, or what? Wake up Sa'd ... Have a carrot ... First of all, we tell the Jews that the Arabs lived in the blessed city of Jerusalem, more than 2,000 years before the first Jew settled in there."
His monologue continues, "Two thousand is a very big number. Not one year, not two, not 10, not 100 – 2,000 years. That's the first thing. We tell them that the Arabs lived in Jerusalem 2,000 years before the first Jew set foot in it. Okay? Okay!"
Then he tells his audience Jews are teaching "disgusting" practices and advocating for the deaths of Muslims.
"The disgusting Jews are getting ready, and they let their little children do many disgusting things, so that they will hate Islam, and kill all our Muslim brothers there," he said. "My advice to you is to place Jerusalem inside our hearts, learn and be smart. When we take exams, we must kill ourselves memorizing. We must do well and be very good Muslims, so we can use our knowledge to liberate Jerusalem."
He said, "Scientists know how to make weapons and things that serve Islam. They can make the Muslims have a strong state, and make a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb, and all those things that make [the Jews] stronger than us."
