attacked by Israel By Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) on Thursday condemned Israel for bombing the Hizbullah TV station Al-Manar, saying, "The bombing of Al-Manar is a clear demonstration that Israel has a policy of using violence to silence media it does not agree with." [IFJ General Secretary Aidan White, July 14, 2006, IFJ Web site] To clarify to PMW subscribers, Al Manar television broadcasts not only material that Israel "does not agree with," but some of the most loathsome hate broadcasting in the world, which we are surprised the IFJ would condone. This has included using cartoons to encourage children to seek death as Martyrs, presenting Jews using Christian children's blood for Matzah as factual, and presenting the killing of Israel's Jews as God's will. Click below to see these examples from Al Manar TV broadcasts:  1. Cartoons brainwashing children to die as Shahids (Martyrs for Allah).
 2. A drama, presented as historical fact, in which Jews slit the throat of a Christian child to get blood for Passover Matzah.
 3. Religious leader presenting the conquering and killing of the Jews of Israel by Muslims as God's goal.

The following are the full transcripts: 1. Cartoons brainwashing children to die as Shahids (Martyrs for Allah): Enemies harm us
Oh children, cry Allah Akbar
You are the aim and the concern,
let your stone pour out blood
Your land is your honor and is what matters
It is your promise and your friend
My book has turned into a stone.
With it I repel the treacherous
My book has turned into a stone
With it I repel the treacherous
It is small like (the boy)
But its effect is great.
Purify yourself,
Pray and set out
Your blood perfumes that soil of your land
Your name will be engraved on heaven’s door
I swear my loyalty to you, Al Aqsa
I swear my loyalty to you, Jerusalem
I may miss a lesson
But my love for you itself is a lesson
Come out of every tunnel, window and door
Join your stone to mine.
Shooting doesn’t scare us
[child falls to the ground]
The dear (child) has fulfilled his desire,
Achieving the honor of Martyrdom,
He is not considered dead
He who dies for his country 2. A drama, presented as historical fact, in which Jews slit the throat of a Christian child to get blood for Passover Matzah. The blood of Christian child for Passover Matzah
Scene I:
Two men talking.
Rabbi (speaking to a young man seated next to him): We have a task from the leadership. We need the blood of a Christian child before Passover for matza.
Scene II:
Dimly lit hallway. Rabbi with young man behind him. A third man enters dragging a child.
Christian child: Nathan save me!
Nathan: Don't be afraid.
Rabbi nods to the young man who nods to Nathan. Nathan forces the child down onto the floor and cuts his throat. Someone catches the blood in a bowl.
Scene III:
Rabbi and young man standing eating matzo. While chewing they nod to one another as if to say, We have done what we need to do. 3. Religious leader presenting the conquering and killing of the Jews of Israel by Muslims as God's goal. Muhammad Ali Deputy Director of the Palestinian Clerics Association in Lebanon, Al-Manar, Aug. 19, 2005:
"The Prophet [Muhammad] foretold:
'The Resurrection will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them, and the stone and tree will say: 'Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew. It means of course the occupying Zionist Jew: 'there is a Jew behind me,come and kill him'. We will enter [Israel] as conquerors Allah willing, and will enter as liberators, not through negotiations, but through Jihad and resistance [terror], because the Hadith goes: 'The Muslims will kill them' - there is a killing operation."
