Posted by YouTube user encryptedreality0 and – perhaps surprisingly, perhaps otherwise – not the most venomous video clip on his channel. It barely breaks the top 5 actually. The first 2 minutes and 40 seconds are this delightful cherub reciting capital cities from across the Middle East and around the world. Then daddy Ali throws him a curve ball about the capital of Israel. But you can’t fool little Hassan:
Not as slick as some other Lebanese child videos…
… but still charming in its own way.
On the plus side, should these lambs ever want to join a formal political party and really put their shoulders into eliminating the Jewish State, they’ll find Israel’s partners in peace to be a good fit:
[JPost] discusses the Fifth Fatah Revolutionary Council held over the weekend, and which “derogatorily rejected recognition of ‘the so-called Jewish state’ or any ‘racist state based on religion.” Additionally, “It reasserted the ‘right of return’ which, if implemented, would facilitate the end of a Jewish majority within the pre-1967 Green Line by allowing about four million Palestinian refugees and their offspring to settle in Israel proper… Fatah essentially articulated its intent to do everything short of relaunching an armed struggle to undermine the existence of the Jewish state.” The editor points out that the vast majority of local and international news outlets have so far refrained from reporting at all on Fatah’s hard-line declarations.
Strange that there should be so little media coverage of Fatah’s eliminationist declarations. The Middle East is usually such a hotbed of journalism.
