（单词翻译）

For half an hour on Friday afternoons, the character is familiar and comforting the context is anything but. From a studio in Gaza on a TV station run by the militants¹ of HAMAS. This weekly children's program stars a Mickey Mouse look-alike with a young co-host, named Sara telling Palestinian children to drink their milk, pray five times a day and resist what they call the oppressive Zionist occupation.
The mouse preaches contempt for Israel and America. He adds we'll liberate² Iraq and the Muslim countries invaded by murderers.
We're tomorrow's pioneers, says Sara, we don't surrender. And miming³ a tune⁴ sung by a caller on the phone, the mouse fires an imaginary gun.
Israel has called the program an outrage⁵. An Israeli group that monitors Palestinian media says: It's also a tragedy.
The children through this lovable image are receiving poisonous messages and they don't even realize they are being poisoned.
Not just by TV, a colorful HAMAS website tells a fable⁶ about a girl who guides Israeli soldiers over a roadside bomb to their death, a martyr's fairy tale. Some say the problem isn't just what's put on TV or the Internet, it's real life.
A child in Gaza does not need a cartoon in order to hate the occupation, to hate Israel. He opens his eyes in the morning, can he sees reality around him.
Despite a rival faction's effort to censor⁷ the show, a HAMAS official insisted it's our right to tell our children what we want and no surprise we try to reach them with an image that's familiar.
