Children's Cartoon trains Suicide Bombers

Hi All,

The following link is to a children's cartoon shown on Iranian (state run) TV on October 28th. It shows the story of how a young Palestinian boy decided to become a Martyr in order to avenge the death of his family, who are graphically slaughtered by laughing Israeli thugs, and to drive the "illegitimate atheists" from their holy land.

Some of the stirring dialogue from the movie:

Teen Martyr: "We must not allow these Bloodthirsty Zionists to take even one inch of our holy land. If necessary, we will die this way."

Resistance Leader: "Well said! I applaud your deep faith."

Mother of one of the boys: "Farewell my dear ones. God willing you'll be successful"

Teen Martyr: "I trust in God! Allahu Akbar!"

I don't think Red Dawn targeted toddlers, and kids to age 10, and I'm quite sure South Park is written for adults.

I could be totally wrong about this... but I don't think Matt or Trey have ever advocated children with semtex belts... or jihad at all for that matter.

Sesame Street taught kids how to become junkies.

Snuffalustudmuffinus and Cookie Monster weren't examples of people living a clean life.

And Bert and Ernie... shortly thereafter coming out of the closet became popular.

This wouldn't be by Memri by any chance, would it?

Memri is the largest clearing house of translated versions of Middle Eastern media.

Here is their profile:

About Us

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) explores the Middle East through the region's media. MEMRI bridges the language gap which exists between the West and the Middle East, providing timely translations of Arabic and Farsi media, as well as original analysis of political, ideological, intellectual, social, cultural, and religious trends in the Middle East.

Founded in February 1998 to inform the debate over U.S. policy in the Middle East, MEMRI is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501 (c)3 organization. MEMRI's headquarters is located in Washington, DC with branch offices in Berlin, London, Jerusalem, and Baghdad, and has a project active in Sweden. MEMRI research is translated to English, German, Hebrew, Italian, French, Spanish, and occasionally Turkish and Russian.

MEMRI TV Monitor Project
MEMRI's TV monitoring center operates 16 hours per day, overseeing every major Arab channel. The center has the in-house capability to translate, subtitle and distribute the segments from Arab TV in real time to Western news channels across the world, effectively "Bridging the Language Gap Between the Middle East and the West."

MEMRI's TV monitoring center focuses on political, cultural, religious, and other developments and debates in the Arab and Muslim world and in Iran.

Memri is an orginisation set up by a group of right wing Israelis to diseminate their own translations of carefully selected Islamic media.

The two founders were Meyrav Wurmser and Yigal Carmon

Carmon was a colonel in Israeli intelligence, he served as the acting head of the Israeli occupation civil administration in the West Bank and Gaza, then went on to serve as Yitzhak Shamir's advisor on terrorism (as if Shamir needed an advisor ;) ).

Meyrav Wurmser is an Israeli neo-con, married to David Wurmser, who is one of John Bolton's advisers. Together with Richard Pearle they heldped co-author a report on securing the future of Israel, which you can read here: http://www.israeleconomy.org/strat1.htm

Memri no longer says who it's staff members are, but of the inital 6, 3 were ex members of Israeli intelligence, another served in the Israeli army.

In short, Memri has a very clear agenda, and they chose their translations to fit that agenda. (It was Memri, and only Memri, who interpreted Bin Laden's speech as meaning he would launch terrorist attacks against those US states which voted for Bush in the 2004 election)

Memri used to claim it also provided translations of Hebrew media, but it did so very rarely, if ever. I've never seen a translation of one of Ovadia Yosef's speeches put out by Memri, for example. (His blaming of Bush for bringing down God's wrath on New Orleans would be a good example)
