Despicable. Diane what is the context -- from whence does this come?

Disturbingly high production values (right: I know this is the least of what's disturbing about the video, but it's the one area that surprises me the most). I was expecting more of a yellow-subtitles-on-magenta-background kind of aesthetic.

Slipshod propaganda. At least Goebbels could put on a show.

Trace, this from the Israeli news site Haaretz (which seems to be down at the time of this posting):

Wow.
It's ironic that you should post this the same day that this Weekly Standard article claims the U.S. will work with the OIC to criminalize defamation of Islam.

Similarly, I'm most disturbed by the fact that it's a beautiful sounding song. A more pathetic effort would be easier to laugh at. Very, very creepy.

Creepy indeed. The melody has been stuck in my head all afternoon. I suppose that helps explains why the song has become such a hit in the Arab world.

It sounds like the kind of music they play at the college pizza shops (while showing soccer on the tv).

Sniff. I'm all verklempt (oo, maybe the wrong word)
And here I thought the meaning of childhood was Watership Down. Or those nifty Gaza-sourced kid's shows with the furry guys getting plugged by Zionist operatives. Ooh, ow, bam, zowie, Give Bee-Dude CPR, stat.

Every culture passes its values down to its children; and at times, exploits those same children for agendas beyond their understanding. Is it the message of the video that offends our sensibilities, or its use of children to convey the message?
For me, both offend, and leave me sad.
