   Perhaps this why USAID finances foreign versions of 'Sesame Street'.

   Instead of just over-dubbing the 40 years of shows we already have
 in Arabic
   and saving the taxpayers millions of dollars.

 
 I don't know that dubbed 40-year-old shows would appeal to Gazan kids.

 
 Why not? At least 90% of the characters on the show are puppets, so there
 wouldn't even be lip-synching issues.

 
 I suppose it's possible that those dubbed old shows happen to be exactly
 suited to today's Gazan kids, but I'm guessing we could do better.
 
 

 
Those 40 year old shows could teach them to read, count, tell time, or
countless other things that we (or our children) learned from those same
shows. Of course I'm speaking of shows like Sesame Street more than
superhero cartoons. But Palestinian leaders don't WANT to live in peace
with their neighbours: they blame all their problems on the Jews and
simply want to exterminate them. Teaching the newest generations to hate
is fundamental to them and the perpetuation of their ideas as it was to
Hitler or the various Communist dictators.
 
You use the incredibly lame "argument" that those shows are old, as if
that invalidates their message, as if learning to read, or count or tell
time isn't just as relevant as it was 40 years ago.

I recently read that a testing center had to take down all the clocks in the
examination rooms and replace them with digital clocks because so many of the
GenZers can't tell time on a traditional clock anymore.
