  Why not? At least 90% of the characters on the show are puppets, so there

    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.
 

In the back of my mind, I've wondered for years if telling time was something they still taught in schools but I told myself that they *couldn't* stop that because everyone needed to be able to tell time. Given the millions of analog clocks and watches still in use, I thought they had MUST still be teaching how to read those too. Apparently, I was wrong, at least in some jurisdictions....
Now you've got me wondering if velcro closures mean that kids don't learn to tie their own shoes any more.
But I'll bet that any kid that's been through the school system in the last 20 years knows ALL 147 of the genders that have been discovered so far and is convinced that Columbus and Churchill are tied for the worst people ever with Donald Trump emerging as a major contender.
