Hamas Cartoon

Some people are upset that Hamas is using a lion in their latest children's political cartoon.  I watched the clip and don't see the resemblance to Simba or the Disney's The Lion King.  From a standpoint of using images to motivate the audience, this is along the same lines as the LBJ "Daisy Girl" video

Here, though, I did find two very interesting things.  See if you can find them.

 

 The first interesting thing was the targeting of the mosque.  I don't know enough about it to know if the mosque was the Dome of the Rock mosque on the temple mount or not, but that's what I thought of.  Many have said that the mosque will eventually go so that the next Jewish temple can be built there.  I didn't think that one Muslim group would blame another for attempting to attack it.  But seeing this video, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hamas attack it and then blame it on Fatah.

The second interesting thing I saw was that Israel was pictured as a dry (cracked) bone that the lion of Hamas shoves out of the way to deal with the new problem of Fatah.  Ezekiel 37 anyone?
