                               RESOLUTION


 
 Condemning the use of television programming by Hamas to indoctrinate 
hatred, violence, and anti-Semitism toward Israel in young Palestinian 
                               children.

Whereas Hamas uses their television network, Al-Aqsa TV, to air a children's 
        show ``Tomorrow's Pioneers'' to breed new terrorists through hatred for 
        Israel and Western nations;
Whereas in April 2008, Hamas introduced a new puppet show that depicted the 
        murder of the President of the United States;
Whereas in February 2008, Hamas used a Bugs Bunny look-alike to indoctrinate 
        children by inciting them toward hatred and violence by telling children 
        that he, ``will finish off the Jews and eat them'';
Whereas in May 2007, Hamas used a Mickey Mouse look-alike in the same children's 
        program to teach terrorist doctrines to children;
Whereas Hamas continues to refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist and 
        renounce the use of violence;
Whereas Hamas continues to use terrorism to destabilize the region;
Whereas Hamas continues to be a major obstacle for a peaceful settlement of 
        Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and
Whereas achieving Israeli-Palestinian peace could have a significant positive 
        impact on security and stability in the region: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns Hamas for using a children's television 
        program to incite hatred, violence, and anti-Semitism toward 
        Israel; and
            (2) demands that--
                    (A) Hamas immediately suspend all television 
                programming that incites hatred, violence, and anti-
                Semitism toward Israel; and
                    (B) Hamas recognize the State of Israel's right to 
                exist, renounce the use of violence and terrorism as 
                political goals, and accept all past peace agreements 
                with the State of Israel.
