Gilad Hamas Cartoon
Hamas TV in Gaza has broadcast a short animated movie mocking Gilad Shalit - the Israeli soldier captured by the terrorist Islamic group three years ago.
The Israeli media played excerpts from the movie on Monday.
The film depicts the 22-year-old Israel Defense Forces Sgt. chained to a jail cell wall, pleading with a Palestinian boy to be set free. The boy refuses, saying he has relatives in Israeli prisons.
Gaza terrorists captured the soldier in June 2006 after tunneling into Israel. Two other soldiers were killed in the attack. Shalit has not been seen since, and Hamas has prevented the Red Cross from visiting him.
Egypt has been mediating attempts to arrange a prisoner exchange in which Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Shalit.
Hamas Airs Shalit Propaganda Cartoon
(IsraelNN.com) Hamas launched a propaganda cartoon of Gilad Shalit on Monday, playing it repeatedly on its Al Aksa television station, as well as on internet forums. In the film an unshaven Shalit is calling for his mother when visited in his cell by a Gaza boy who tells him that Israel does not care about him.
During the three-minute film, additional Hamas messages include how it would be betrayal by the boy to free Shalit, especially with many of the boy's relatives in Israeli jails. Israel is portrayed as being only a collection of people from Western countries, and Shalit's only hope is for Hamas to kidnap another soldier to make Israel agree to Hamas's terms and discourage Israelis from joining the army.
