As far as I could gather the "annihilate the jews" comment was made by a girl who phoned into the show not by the mickey mouse! The little girl hardly represents the islamic world does it?

As far as the mickey mouse comments:

I have heard evangelical christians say far worse. I have heard Zionist Jews say even worse still. Yet of course its the muslims the media has to pick up on.

I disagree with the whole point of this show. Children should not be exposed to the problems we have created for them. By the way Hamas TV agreed to a Palestinian Government request to pull this show off the air.

Yes it is very difficult to convince people we are peaceful people when they are so easily given into western media propaganda.

The Palestinians are one of the most oppressed nations of the world. Their children have all sorts of ideas because of what has happened to their families. I wonder what your attitude would be if you grew up in a refugee camp or in gaza which is constantly under fire? If you saw your brothers get shot at because they threw a few rocks at a tank? You get the idea?

Karbala, the point here is the irony of using Mickey Mouse - a US symbol and copyrighted character to start a show to teach children to fight using guns and talk about politics. I do not care how many Jews or Christians or Saints talk nearly bad the same things because the point here is does not make this show right in any degree. To try and defend this is the same as saying... we hate so let us teach our children hate.

Yes, it was a girl on the phone who made that statement. As a matter of fact, based on this phone "conversation" I assume the phone call was fake and set up, Mickey Mouse did not stop her but continued to encourage her statements.

I wasn't defending the show. This show was sick. They managed to turn mickey the mouse into mickey the rat. It was your (JB) comments about doubting the peaceful intentions of muslims I was answering. This show has been pulled off the air. Even the Palestinians didn't agree with the show.

I totally disagree with bringing hate politics to children. But if you were to ask me whether I would be willing to be a martyr for the liberation of Al-Aqsa I would have to say yes.

That is a bit paranoid no? The questions asked to the girl were focusing on Al-Aqsa. Most muslims in the world including me are ready to die for the sake of AL-Aqsa.

Paranoid? Maybe, maybe not...we do not know for sure, sounds like fake to me after all we are talking about a Mickey Mouse character supporting murder on television. What can be worst?

Actually, I started the comment about peace. This was a childrens show that aired in Gaza and that is particularly why I mentioned the connection with the peace process. The government has pulled Mickey and his Hamas Friends from the airwaves, which is an encouraging sign that they too saw an issue here.

This was not propaganda. It is easy to say that because it doesn't put a particularly nice light on who made the show and instead of blamming them, we can blame western propaganda. Propaganda is misinformation or half truths. There was nothing misinformed or half truths about the rebroadcast of this show on CNN. This is why the government is pulling the show.

George Bush gets picked on my the media relentlessly, but it is not propaganda. Most of what they say is the actual truth and there was no intent on distributing missinformation, which is what propaganda is... Does the media enjoy showing his screwups...YOU BET...but it isn't propaganda. It is simply capitalizing on the unfortunate truths.

Should somewhere in that telecast, Mickey blessed the Jewish people and that was not reported in the story, THEN we have propaganda by western media. However, there has to be intent on misleading or only presenting half truths.

Propoganda is any bias with an agenda. Doesn't necessary have to be misinformation. An anti-semitic remark or a threat anywhere in the muslim world is immediately picked up. However the same remark made elsewhere about muslims will be confined to the backpages of the local press. Is that not propoganda?

Propaganda is a type of message aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of people. Often, instead of impartially providing information.

Just to clear the air on that meaning.

All I know is the the topic on the show was not appropriate for children. I also have no doubts that the producers were flavouring the topic and trying to get the children to buy into their political views.

Yes Canadians do it to, as we use children shows to push good manners counting reading ect to a social norm of the time. I remember when KFC first advertised their chicken as finger licking good. The was an enormous out cry because licking your fingers after eating is unacceptable. (my point being just yes every thing we read or watch is not just a here are they fact you make your own conclusion, it is done to get a point or view point across.)
