This week, "Al-Mutamyazoon," the weekly children's show on Hamas' Al-Aqsa
TV, included a segment showing puppets Kuku, a bird, and Fufu, a chick,
discussing the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel. The puppets
repeatedly declared that the Palestinians will "return as victors" to Tel
Aviv, Haifa, Acre, Jaffa, Ashdod, and other Israeli cities.
The following are excerpts from the show, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on May
2, 2008.

"We Will Return to Jaffa, Acre, Lydda, Ramle, and Ashdod"
Kuku: "We will persevere, Allah willing, and we will return to our land,
Allah willing. We will return to Jaffa, Acre, Lydda, Ramle, and Ashdod. We
will return to all these cities, Allah willing."

Fufu: "Kuku, where are you from?"

Kuku: "I am from Tel Rabi'a, which they have named Tel Aviv. Allah is our
support. I say that we must return to our homes, and to our lands, God
willing."

[...]

Fufu: "What's now, Kuku? Are we done for? Will we never return to our
cities, Kuku?"

Kuku: "What are you saying, Fufu? We must never say such things. We must
return to our land, Allah willing. We will return to Jaffa, Tel Al-Rabi',
Lydda, and Ramle. All those who emigrated to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon,
Iraq, and America will come to their country with their heads held high."

"These Years Have Made It Clear To Us that We Must Return to Our Lands...
and that We Must Defeat the Enemies of Allah"

Kuku: "These years have made it clear to us that we must return to our
lands, Allah willing, and that we must defeat the enemies of Allah."

Fufu: "What are you saying, Kuku? We will return to our land?"

Kuku: "Of course, Fufu."

Fufu: "Will we go to Haifa, Jaffa, Acre, and Tiberias as well, Kuku?"

Kuku: "We will return to Jaffa, Acre, and Tiberias, Fufu. We will go there
and play in the sand. We will play with everything. Once again we will
harvest, build, and everything."

Fufu: "Will we also eat the fruit of the trees in our orchards, Kuku?"

Kuku: "Yes, yes. By now, the trees have grown, but alas, the Zionists have
built settlements on some of the lands."

Fufu: "Don't worry, Kuku. Allah willing, we will sow the lands once again
with our own hands. But Kuku, you haven't told me yet when we will return to
our land."

Kuku: "We will return to our land when we unite, when we adhere to our faith
and to the Koran." [...]

"Let's Unite, and Return to Our Country Tomorrow as Victors"

Fufu: "Okay, Kuku. Put your hand in mine, so we can unite and return
victoriously to our country tomorrow, Allah willing - to Haifa, Jaffa, and
Acre. My hand is now in yours, Kuku. Let's unite, and return to our country
tomorrow as victors."
