Hamas children´s
propaganda film
reinforces illusion of war victory
by Itamar Marcus and Barbara

On the first day of its ceasefire with Israel, Hamas has
added a new element to its propaganda campaign claiming that it won
the war in Gaza. An animated film for children on Hamas TV
depicts Israeli soldiers as cowards who are afraid to enter Gaza.
They cry, "Mommy, Mommy," as they head into battle, where they are
all killed by Hamas gunfire. 
The video ends with an Israeli soldier´s blood splattered on the
screen, accompanied by a caption that reads, "Whoever dares, let him
come! Gaza is his certain death."
Observers have reported that hundreds of Hamas fighters were
killed in the conflict, while Israel lost 10 soldiers in combat and
three civilians in rocket attacks. However, in the attempt to present
this war as a victory, Hamas TV reported today that Hamas lost only
48 fighters and killed 80 Israelis, including 49 soldiers.
This film aims to reinforce the victory myth that Hamas is
trying to sell to its people.
