I feel like I understand the existence of this show more when I think about the children who have to see their friends and neighbors murdered by colonists. Even the host herself was injured in a bombing. They were striving to do what every children's show does: Help children navigate an often difficult and confusing reality.

I'll accept your colonist line once your white ass leaves my continent that you stole

Both of these things were atrocious, I agree

Programming fundamentalism into kids should be criminal like this show. Kids need to learn critical thinking and emotional intelligence.

You know what else is illegal? Evicting people from their own land, then carpet bombing them when they refuse to leave.

How does one thing excuse the other?

As a woman I feel obligated to point out that, although palestinias are indeed being victimized they are also extremist muslins. So yeah, they are all (muslins, jewish, christians, hindu...whatever) fucked in the head. Just not the kids, the kids can still be saved from religious fuckers. Religion is the root of all evil

Would you say the same about Zionist indoctrination?

This comment section is likely to be a huge shitshow. I'm just glad I was able to get in early.

I want to add to this that Nick Crowley covers this topic pretty well on youtube.

Seems the link presents a debate not unlike (or even noticeably apart from) the Israel/Hamas one.
Is a costumed character grooming little Jihadists, or letting them express their feelings about their reality?
Not creepy; political
Edit: not trying to wade into the debate
