"If you liked Farfour the Mouse and the other quality shows brought to you on "Tomorrow's Pioneers," man and sub-men aka women, segregated in society and the buraq and in theater by law, we are proud to present to you the new film, brought to you by as Fathi Hamad, Gaza's Hamas interior minister says "It's Hamaswood instead of Hollywood," the new film, about which
The movie tells the story of Emad Akel, commander of the Hamas military wing, who was killed in a firefight with Israeli troops in Gaza in 1993.
Akel, 23 at the time, was known as "the ghost" for his many disguises, including dressing up as a Jewish settler with a skullcap. In the early 1990s, he topped Israel's wanted list for his suspected role in killing 11 Israeli soldiers, an Israeli civilian and four Palestinian informers in a series of attacks.
presenting....MORE HATEFUL VIOLENCE INCITEMENT PROPAGANDAAAAAAA! Enjoy, and remember, if you badmouth the film because it lacks romance, just remember that doing so is 'un-Islamic'
Fathi Hamad, Gaza's Hamas interior minister, said after the film's first showing Friday evening at Gaza City's Islamic University. "We are trying to make quality art that is Islamic and about the resistance, without provocative (sexual) scenes."

==============================
And Hamas says it wants peace. We cannot have peace with more glorification of hate and violence in the media. No, making a hero about a political martyr from an hateful and genocidal group who is killed is not acceptable. This isn't anything new. Now after Cast Lead, I also wanna see peace. We don't need anymore rockets ruining Israeli lives and threatening them by the daily. But Hamas has no plans to quit:

have been stifled by the blockade. And Hamas', the REAL obstacle to peace popularity is down. Now Abbas really needs to take advantage of this. We will not have peace as long as Hamas, not repudiating terrorism and recognizing Israel is on the scene. Propaganda is no way to achieve this.
(and please, if you're gonna talk about the Haredim and how they treat women, I'll remind you their "rules" are not laws, they are a fringe in Israel's society unlike Hamas in Gaza and among too may Palestinians, and Israel as acting against their outbursts, as we have seen. So please, no false equivalences here. Haredim, unlike Hamas in much of the Territories, are seen as an existence threat to Israel's survival if they grow in numbers, according to Michael Oren, their ambassador.)
