Arabic Anti-Semitic Websites Just for Kids

If you go to the Egyptian-based Muslim Brotherhood’s website for kids at Awladnaa.net, you won′t find Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse, or Bugs Bunny. Instead, you′ll see the most vicious kind of anti-Semitic cartoons aimed squarely at Muslim children.

The homepage displays a seemingly harmless Flash menu screen with colorful cartoons of flowers, rainbows, and smiling children. Once the viewers are lured into the site, they are exposed to drawings of sinister Jewish characters wielding blood-soaked knives and Israeli gunmen terrorizing Palestinians.

Awladnaa, meaning Our Children, is clearly intended to perpetuate lies and slanders to young minds and continue the long-standing anti-Semitic myths swirling in the Middle East. Young readers can absorb hateful lies in a section entitled, Did You Know? Some examples of such statements are:

• Jews slaughtered 25 prophets of Allah and ritually kill children
• Jews are responsible for all the world’s corruption and deviance
• Jews who now occupy Palestine plan to take over the entire Middle East

The website displays anti-American propaganda as well. In a section titled, My Great Homeland, it mentions that Afghanistan is "currently under the oppressive American occupation that is now aspiring to control the Muslim world. (This occupation) began with Afghanistan, and then (moved on) to our beloved land Iraq; and lo, it now threatens Syria and so on. (President Bush) has declared a Crusade against the Muslim world, and our role is to prepare ourselves for jihad against the enemies of Allah."
