Source: Online Platforms

Animated videos posted on the Internet encourage children to hate Jews. The videos were produced as educational software for "Boys and Girls," the children's section of the Qatari government-owned Internet portal Islamweb.net. A large number of the portal's educational videos were posted on various YouTube accounts. In one video, called "Palestine Is Free," animated figures of children discuss the Jews and their characteristics. "The Jews are cowards," one boy says. "I hate the Jews so much because they cursed Allah." The girl concurs that the Jews are "cowards," adding that they "killed many prophets." After the children vow to fight and vanquish the Jews, the viewers are invited in engage in an activity of identifying Jewish characteristics. In another video, titled "Our Duty towards Gaza," the children are told that the Jews are "criminals," who mercilessly kill Muslims in Gaza. The animated characters recommend praying for Allah to wreak vengeance upon the Jews. At the end of the video, the children are asked to engage in an activity of identifying ways to support Gaza. Both videos were posted on the Internet on December 17, 2015.

"Palestine Is Free" Educational Software by Qatar's Islamweb.net Posted on YouTube on December 17, 2015

 

A cartoon featuring a young girl, Salma, wearing a hijab painting on easel, a boy wearing a keffiyeh walks into the room. The easel is revealed to show a map of Palestine

 

 

Young boy, Muhannad: What are you painting, Salma?

 

 

Salma: I am painting a map of the beloved Palestine. Take a look, Muhannad.

 

 

Muhannad: Allah, it is beautiful. But why are you highlighting all these areas?

 

 

Salma: These are the areas that are under occupation by the Jews.

 

 

Muhannad: Wow, what vast areas! Even though the Jews are very cowardly.

 

 

Salma: Yes, they are cowards, but the Muslims have been remiss in taking care of matters of their religion, and therefore, the Jews occupied the Muslims' country very easily.

 

 

Muhannad: I hate the Jews so much, because they cursed Allah.

 

 

Salma: They also killed many prophets.

 

 

Muhannad: And they tried to kill the Prophet Muhammad.

 

 

Salma: Now they are occupying the land of Palestine.

 

 

Muhannad: I have heard, Salma, that they want to take over other countries as well.

 

 

Salma: They can dream on!

 

 

Muhannad: We will not be weak. We will fight and vanquish them, Allah willing.

 

 

Voice over: Try to help Salma draw the map of Free Palestine, by dragging the correct information onto the map.

 

 

A blank map of Palestine appears on the left of the screen. On the right are various sayings:

 

 

"I Love Palestine"

 

 

"The Jews Love the Muslims"

 

 

"The Jews Are the Slayers of the Prophets"

 

 

"The Jews Are Trustworthy"

 

 

"The Jews Are Cowards"

 

 

"The Jews Violate Agreements"

 

 

"The Jews Keep Their Promises"

 

 

All the antisemitic sayings are moved onto the blank map coloring regions of Palestine green

 

 

The map is entirely colored in green with the statement "Palestine is Free" emblazoned on the completed map.

"Our Duty towards Gaza" Educational Software by Qatar's Islamweb.net Posted on YouTube on December 17, 2015

 

 

Fighter jets fire bombs at a Muslim city in flames – these images are revealed to be shown on TV. The voice of a child singing and a baby crying is heard among sounds of fire and battle.

 

 

Young boy, Omar : Muhannad, Muhannad, have you heard what the Jews are doing to our Muslim brothers in Gaza?

 

 

Muhannad: The Jews are criminals. They are killing them mercilessly. But is there anything we can do for our brothers in Palestine?

 

 

Young boy, Omar: Of course there is. You can pray for Allah to support them, and to wreak vengeance upon the Jews.

 

 

Muhannad: Oh Allah, support our brothers in Gaza, and destroy the Jews.

 

 

Young boy, Omar : In addition, you must not buy the products of the enemies, and you can donate money or clothes to your brothers in Gaza. You should be interested in the news about them, and spread it among your schoolmates and friends.

 

 

Muhannad: Allah willing, Omar, I will do all that.

 

 

"My duty towards Gaza."

 

 

"Omar loves his Muslim brothers in Gaza."

 

 

"He is very sad at what the Jews are doing to the Muslims there."

 

 

"So he wrote an essay about what he'd do to support his brothers in Gaza, in order to put it on his school bulletin board."

 

 

"Help Omar write his essay by dragging the proper conduct to the bulletin board."

 

 

Various sayings surround a square with an image of a notepad with Hamar Al-Sharif in the background

 

 

"pray for Gaza"

 

 

"Pray only for myself"

 

 

"Donate food"

 

 

"Boycott enemy products"

 

 

"Buy enemy products"

 

 

"Donate clothes"

 

 

I'm not sad about Gaza"

"Encourage friends to donate"

 

 

I don't care about news from gaza"

 

 

"I don't pray for Gaza"

 

 

"Donate money"

 

 

"Follow news from Gaza"

 

 

The correct sayings are removed to the notepad.
