Hamas TV cartoon for kids: Jews endanger Al-Aqsa mosque by digging under it

This cartoon for children, broadcast on Hamas TV, spreads the libel that the Jews want to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque and are attempting to destroy its foundations. Transcript: [Opening scene: An Arab naps in the plaza facing the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The scene moves underground, directly beneath Al-Aqsa, to reveal two stereotyped religious Jews and an Israeli soldier.] Jew 1 [digging]: “Dig! Dig!“ Jew 2: “Keep digging, but slowly, so the Arabs and Muslims won’t wake up.“ Israeli soldier [laughing]: “What Arabs? They’re asleep. The Arabs and Muslims are all asleep. Keep digging, pal, don’t worry.“ Jew 1: “True. What Arabs? They’re asleep. [The religious Jews swings his pick axe and resumes digging] Dig!“ [The digging causes an enormous crack in the ground, which travels all the way up to sleeping Arab and awakens him.] Text on screen: “Al-Aqsa is in danger“ [Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), Aug. 28, 2008, broadcast repeatedly since Dec. 2007]
