Well, as you only ever seem to highlight one side of the conflict (bad old jews!!) you might want to pay attention rather than mock.

Why should LD be more objective, when even our own media isnt? (they're happy to show Jihad Mickey over and over again, but how often do we get tos ee the footage of drunken jews harassing palestines, or settlers' kids stoning palestinian kids?

I think we all have our own opinions on these matters, and we'll meet somewhere in the middle... discussing our views...

I've seen LD's cartoon now too.
Didn't really understand all of it (what was being said), but it looked like the little girl is just happy playing, then the next minute staring down the barrel of a tank at the start of the clip :( Then there's a politician (?) on TV talking, the little girl gets a doll from a shop.
And the reasons why Jihad Mickey is wrong would be pretty obvious I would have thought... of course, that doesnt make what Yi has highlighted on the "other side" (eg, Drunken Jews against Palestinians, kids throwing rocks) any less "wrong", both sides hate each other. What's terrible is they are "encouraged" to hate.

Anyway, looks like Mickey's twin has been pulled....

Well... the problem with people being 'outraged' over this jihad-mickey thing, is that people are actually dumb enough to think that Jihad Mickey is CAUSING the hate.

Listen... when relatives have been shot by Israeli soldiers for no reason, your house/school has been bombed under the excuse of it harbouring potential terrorists. When you, as a kid, get stoned every day on your way to school, and when your parents cant seem to build a good future simply because palestinians are hindered tremendously by the israeli goverment to do business, etc etc... you really think kids are going to get their hatred from Jihad Mickey?
Hell no. They are better off being inside watching Jihad Mickey, instead of going outside and seeing the shit they have to live in, and potentially getting killed by the Israelis.
I doubt Jihad Mickey is saying anything to these kids they havent heard from their parents yet. If we were still occupied by germans and everyday we hear about people being humilated and stoned and laughed at and abused by Israeli's, I'm sure our Dutch programs, if we were still able to make those independently, would loathe the Germans and call for resistance.

If I would grow up being stoned on my way to school everyday, you can be damn sure I'll grow up with a tremendous hate in my heart against those responsible. I dont need Jihad Mickey to teach me that.

Instead of being outraged about this show, why dont we just ask ourselfs WHY that show can exist? There must be something fueling those ideas and feeling of hate, right?

If Israeli's stopped being such dicks, and gave back all the land they stole and stopped harassing the palestinians and limiting their economy etc... maybe they could live peacefully together. but I doubt it.

Too many innocents have already died on both side, and both sides are so full of hate over this 50+ year conflict, that there will never be peace there. Never. It's a fantasy to think these two people will ever be able to get along. Not in my lifetime at least.

Some good points :)

Good point and exactly! That's probably what I was trying to say when posting this thread, I dont mean to suggest pulling Jihad Mickey from TV will make everything "OK".

Even in that Israel Sesame Street I posted, its a step in the right direction, kids are enouraged respect and friendship etc, but its interesting reading how the Jewish and Arab kids are shown in the show

I recommend a book called "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict" which happens to be written by a Jew. Among a lot of other things he explains how in the Israeli school books of history lesson it says that when the Jews came to settle in the area of Palestine in 1948, it was only a desert with no Arabs living there and that they settled down there without their permission.

LOL, if I was an Israeli kid and someone would tell me the truth (that my history book is lying), I would laugh at him and continue "hating Arabs who are here and bomb us, although they don't even have the right to be here."

Finkelstein compared the Israeli methods of treating the Palestinians with those of the Gestapo. Jewish organisations called him an anti-Semit, whereupon Finkelstein referred to an Israeli commanding officer who said that when escalading densely populated refugee camps one has to take lessons from the methods of the national socialists, for instance in regards to the Warsaw ghetto.

It's also absurd how they call him an anti-Semit although he is a Jew and the son of concentration camp survivors.

Any politician who talks against the politics of Israel will be bashed in the media as anti-Semit, because most of the media is controlled by Jews. Nobody wants to be known as the bad anti-Semit to the public, so almost no politicians talk against Israel's war politics.

LOL, even I, someone a lot of people here would refer to as a foreigner, was called a Nazi by a Jewish kid when I criticised Israel for their treatment of Palestinians. He kept calling me Nazi until he felt my "Nazi"-fist in his face.

But that's the truth. A lot of people in Europe are scared to criticise anything that is even in the slightest Jewish for fear of being put into the nazi pot.

Thanks for the book recommedation, although TBH I doubt I'll ever read it. I'm not a big reader, havent even finished my Kurosawa book I bought almost 2 years orso ago... ;) I wish I was a huge reader, but between, movies, tv, gaming and the internet, I hardly have the time. And that's with me not evenhaving a job due to my current health-issues! So imagine how little time I would have left if I also had a 40 hours- a day job :)

Reminds me of that Homer Simpson joke: "It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day"

Anyway, back on topic: Yeah, it's fucking hilarious that people bitch and moan about the Japanese not having their historybooks straight... and rightly so... but no-one mentions anything about Israeli children being misinformed.
There was a discussion on a Dutch site about this Mickey Jihad issue, and some guy said:'before the jewish came there, it was just a useless sandbox... so I dont mind the jews getting that land and fixing it up and making something pretty out of it.' To which obviously i replied:' so when you dont clean your room for 3 or 4 weeks, you'll be ok if I take it over? Ow... any of your familymembers who might consider protesting at me moving in... I'm going to have to give them a little warning shot to the face, with my bazooka... purely out of selfdefence obviously...'

And yeah, I agree with the point that everytime you stick up for the palestinians, and disagree with the Israelis, someone will bring up the holocaust or play the nazi card, or say I obviously approve of suicide bombers killing innocent civilians etc. Hell... they'll call me a terrorist-friend, or sometime seven a 'terrorist'.

To me, the holocaust isnt related to what is going on NOW with the Palestinians. Just because many jews suffered from the Holocaust, which was wrong, doesnt mean the jews have a right to now steal land and how they treat the palestinian people so badly.

I believe right now, Israel is spreading more hate against the jewish people, than Hitler ever managed to accomplish with his propaganda. Their reality of how they are treating palestinians is causing half the world to hate Israel, and thus the jews.

I not really scared to share my views on stuff. If people wanna call me a 'nazi' or a terrorist-friend, or whatever, so be it. The smarter people will actually get into a debate about the issue. I pretty much stand by my opinions, but that doesnt mean I approve of suicide bombers etc... (but I do understand what motivates them to do such a horrible crime)
If someone takes away everything I have and love... I'm pretty sure I would want revenge as well. Even if it means giving my own life, and even if it means hurting not the ones directly responsible, but maybe their loved ones. I'm pretty sure my heart would be so full of dark hatred and pain, that I would just not care anymore about THEM. 'They dont seem to care about my loss either, do they!?'

That's simply not true. For those who don't read, like Yi, ( :D ), may YouTube be your source :D :
