Hope From Muppets
This is just good news. Thought I would share. It is from JTA.
Tolerance is still the word on revamped ‘Sesame Street’ (JTA)
Sunny days are sweeping the clouds away in the Middle East — with the help of a few furry neighbors.
Even as it emerges that Hamas has been using a Mickey Mouse lookalike to indoctrinate young children for war against Israel, “Sesame Street” is returning to Israeli and Palestinian televisions. New Muppets are joining veteran characters to empower children amid new social and political realities in their respective societies.
“Rechov Sumsum,” a co-production of Sesame Workshop and the Israeli cable channel Hop!, returned last December at Chanukah time. The new Palestinian version of the show, “Shara’a Simsim,” will air on the independent Palestinian Ma’an network starting May 15.

What a shame these Arab kids in Gaza are brainwashed in hatred instead of something like “Shara’a Simsim†on Ma’an network which gives hope for future.
Kinda like the kids in the IDF.
