Westerners love to criticize hamas for telling children militaristic messages about resistance and self defense, but they have no problem with the brutal israeli military occupation which has condemned generations of palestinian children to a life of misery, humiliation, and sometimes, premature death. They have absolutely no concern about the palestinian children when people are bombing them, throwing rocks at them, spitting on them, or randomly shooting them, but suddenly they become mother theresa if palestinians decide to join hamas, put on a mickey mouse costume and tell their own children that their side is right and that they're going to win. Well, I have to say that I'm underwhelmed by the moral force of that particular argument.

Hamas may not be perfect, but one thing that they have over us is that they are palestinian. It's their own children that they are preaching to, and that we are murdering. They actually care about those children, and we don't. In fact, when those children grow up, we'll be doing our damnedest to kill every single one of them, and we'll be dehumanizing them and claiming that they want THEIR children to die. We'll be driving them out of their homes so that white people can shack up in them, we'll be building walls around them and stopping them at check points (well we already are). Here is the video in question, you can judge for yourself which is more extreme, the words of "mickey mouse" or the response by the good white people:
