ok so based on your logic .. how much longer do you think we should wait before we “deal with it” and give iraq to the americans?

btw ..
1- 60 years is nothing .. several countries fought longer than that and gained their independence in the end .. some are still fighting for it

2- some call it “moderation” .. others call it “selling out”

3- glad to see you find this amusing

p.s. you didn’t answer my question .. if jordan was occupied would you still be speaking this way?

I don’t know if you can call this moderation or what but, you have to accept the truth that, after almost 60 years, it’s gonna be hard to get rid of Israel.
I would imagine the Native Americans still hoping Whites are going to get out of America some time

to make benefit of occupation???

the occupation happened, deal with it???

so tomorrow if jordan gets occupied .. i assume you will go around telling people to make benefit of the occupation and to just deal with it?
so is this what it means to be an arab defeatist .. sorry i mean an arab moderate.

History is history, the occupation happened, deal with it.. Hanna,,,
It seems to me you not only swallowed the propaganda but ate also.
you see Hanna,, history to us is our lives,our reality and our struggle ,unfortunately ,people like you are so tranquilized you will never be able to distinguish what right whats wrong.

ok alurdunialhurr,

I need you to explain to me how I got apples mixed with oranges? I don’t really see what you mean by that. IF you meant that my Sajida example didn’t make any sense, then PLEASE go back and read the news..

And with the propaganda portion of your comment, and although I might sound like some ignorant self-centered big sh!t, I hardly fall for any propaganda.. I analyze the news, I don’t swallow it!

ok sorry I’m taking this a bit at a time but that’s the only way I say everything I want to say..

The occupation part: dude, that’s history.. to make benefit of it, we need to learn our mistake and not lament it. History is history, the occupation happened, deal with it..

someone always has to resort to the typical slogans jama3et zeit uw za3tar and jama3et izra3 igla3 beitenjan and jama3it il di77iyeh and jama3et el gallabat….i think we have our own hate issues to work on…….

they won’t axe the show but the content will be revised .. that was what i read on CNN website .. anyway you can all go back to sleep now .. until the next “mickey mouse” story surfaces and then you can start pretending to care about palestine all over again.

By: mo

mo — Fri, 11 May 2007 07:45:34 +0000

can we stop being so melodramatic .. as if this show is what is going to cause palestinian kids to become violent .. aslan how many kids watch this show .. believe me palestinian kids don’t need this show to know the meaning of violence.

and again i’ll repeat what i said earlier .. it hurts me when i see how some ARAB blogs never say a word about palestine .. but when hamas bans a book or mickey mouse comes on the air they jump all over it 2u biseeru yitshammatu .. it’s a shame really.

Ok this video is low quality and really nothing to write home about, I would rather not have it shown to kids, but nowhere does it teach kids to hate jews,unless of course your arabic is weak, and all you did was read the subtitled translation by an Israeli Colonel non the less.

Hate will never get us anywhere on both side of the equasion, and My nada, zilch(whatever that means), zero comment is just to show double standards and how long did they stick up to what is “right”..Jama3et el zet wal za3tar(Thats their new name) is nothing but cause traders..
Good luck to palastine and alurdun!!

Hanna ,I gusse,you have believed their propaganda.
To diagnose any problem,we have to look at root cause and not the symptoms ,if there was not occupation of Palestine, Hammas or PLO would not even exist ,don’t you agree??

Markus — Fri, 11 May 2007 03:34:24 +0000

I know people in Jordan are afraid to speak up when it comes to Hamas, its ok I understand, Hamas is not well liked there, and thats why no one can get into a direct discussion about it, people are just blind when it comes to it. Look im not a Hamas supporter, heck im not even Muslim, so dont give me any flak about ok. But I have noticed none of you addressed the issue directly you are dancing around the subject very carefully trying to say the right things well thats fine and dandy. And back to Hamas, II dont like what they do and I dont agree with their polcicies outside Palestine, but the issue here is not about hamas, its about resistance, and the right to resist, do you people know that it is a human right protected by conventions to resist, it is pathetic the level of brainwashing that you see especially in Jordan these days, anyone agaisnt the so called damned peace process is considered a dangerous person, so you all fall in line and conform like good citizens, you want to build not destroy yada yada yada, pre fabricated scripts that you have been taught in school nd even in university, your living in a pink dream, enjoy it while it lasts. And before any of you jump up and acuse me of being a Hamas support id like to say im not a hamas supporter, and i dont liek them much, heck I repeat Im not even Muslim so save urslf this argument.

Mo ,,”and yes we should be teaching our kids to hate israel .. nothing wrong with that .. doesnâ€™t mean they will grow up and bomb weddings like some people suggested.” RIGHT ON MAn
Who would avocate to love racist State such as Isrealhell??.

Sorry Hanna,good try ,you are mixing apple with oranges and trying to confuse the subject.
We are discussing the show that was aired on Hammas TV.
Mohanned,,What is the value of your comment??,zero zilch, nada.

i love how it’s only stories like these from palestine that get attention .. we’ve gotten so used to everything else that happens there that we don’t pay any attention to it .. wall, death, arrests, home destructions, al aqsa, incursions, all that .. who cares .. but mickey mouse .. WHOA HOLD THE PHONE STOP THE PRESSES.

ok i am not defending the show here or hamas or anything .. but it really pisses me off how some people don’t care about palestine but when a book gets banned or mickey mouse comes on tv all of a sudden they are up in arms and they start lecturing the palestinians on what they should or shouldn’t do .. from the comfort of their seat behind their monitor.

and yes we should be teaching our kids to hate israel .. nothing wrong with that .. doesn’t mean they will grow up and bomb weddings like some people suggested.

alurdunialhurr,

I’m sorry but I don’t know how old you are and if you are married or not, but I would like to see how you would change your mind when in 10 years or so, on of those children who were watching that show would come and bomb your wedding party.
Last November, it was Sajida from Iraq and with this kind of dirty propaganda, it’s gonna be one of those children in your wedding (God forbid, that is :p)

Try to look at it from that angle and tell me what you think..

Mohanned — Thu, 10 May 2007 18:16:49 +0000

Just some breaking news! It was all over the networks here in the US and hamas issued a statment somehow apologizing and taking the show off the air, so cheer up hamas supporters, they didn’t stand to their ideals!!

Most of you are worrying about how Hammas use it’s own TV to advance the Palestinians struggle,but you never cared about how many children killed and murdered in gold blood by the IDF,just today ,the Israeli Army shot a pregnant women and killed her baby in Nablus,and this has been a routine and daily practices of the IDF.

By: alurdunialhurr

alurdunialhurr — Thu, 10 May 2007 15:46:51 +0000

I just can’t believe of the amount of brained washed people in Jordan and the Arab World and how they always blame Hammas for this human tragedy.
Palestinians have all the rights to use anything and everything to get rid of this Zionist racist entity.

Hi Nas,
Thought I’d let you know that NBC’s Morning Show ran a piece about it this morning. This is really sad!

While peace is a utopian right that all human beings dream of, but rarely ever achieve as proven throughout history, Peace is not the main objective for Palestinains, freedom, safety and justice at this stage are much higher priorities. think about this for a moment. No one is calling for Palestinians to go out in mass and fight, every society has its politicians, builders, criminals as well as its fighters.

Mr. Desktop Warriors ,

Who would you rather your son or daughter be ?? A Mahmood Darwish , Sameeh AL Qasem , Amal Dunqol , Fadwa Toqan , Azmi Bshara , Ahmad El Teibe ….. Or one of the hundreds of Palastinians who they call Suicide Bombers and we call martyrs ???

I remember hearing “Fighting and war is easy . It’s changing yourself and the people that is hard” … it has a similar one in Arabic about Jihad.

and When did violence bring peace ?? and how many people know the good cause of the palestinian people through peaceful ways ? and how many knows it through the martyrs ?

I rest my case.

This is absolutely a crime against childhood, how dare you teach children to kill innocent civilans, I’m an arab too and this brainwashing must stop.

when there is a conflict of interests, one side will accuse the other side of vile things. Just because the other side does not totally agree with yours, that doesnt necessarily make them an enemy, so if people hate Hamas for one reason or the other, fine, but as arabs dont forget the saying (loosly translated) ” Me and my brother against my cousin, and me and my cousin against the stranger” so this tendancy to condemn hamas and blame them for the ills of palestinain society in addition to other matters that cross the borderes literally and figurativly is ok in a certain arena but to condemn hamas even when it is confronting an enemy, now thats peculiar, to say the least, unless of course, I’v got the brother and cousin designations all mixed up.

“modest simple production with a genuine message”

Genuine alright..

“Now itâ€™s not like Palestinian kids watch Hamas TV 24/7?”

Just the idea that even one childe is watching that program is sad enough!

“the clip is obvoisly edited to project a certain image”

No matter what editing they put into that clip, the message is still obvious.

“I really dont see anything wrong with this video .ABSOLUTELY nothing.”

That’s why we’re a damned nation and tha’s also why we’ll always be..

I leave those comments with you guys feeling the worst ever. For the first time ever, sadly enough, I wish I was not an Arab..
