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?
