1. So palis have money for terrorists
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (01.08.12)
but don't have money for kids. Interesting. May be it is not US or Israel fault after all.
2. Sesame Street leads to dead-end. Long live Farfour!
Wissam ,   Palestine   (01.08.12)
3. this article makes me mad
nva ,   jerusalem   (01.08.12)
because for years the PA has produced Sesame Street and Barney & Friends "look alike" shows which promote jihad [against Israel] for children. Why wasn't this mentioned in this article? Why can't the PA TV monies fund the "real" Sesame Street instead of the terrorist variety?. I guess we all know the answer to this one.
4. Palestian Aid
larry Butler , ,   kibbutz Israel   (01.08.12)
And just how much aid have the Palestinians got from the Arab neighbors. not counting the rockets and guns and weapons of destruction "?
5. #2 Too late, farfour was martyred
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.08.12)
There's always nahoul, the giant bee that taught Palestinian children to hit animals. Surprised western influence Sesame Street wasn't removed by Hamas long ago.
6. Sesame Street put on hold due to funding
William ,   Israel   (01.08.12)
well, yeah...that and the producers of Sesame Street in the US aren't exactly enamored with the prospect of a kefiyeh-wearing big bird with a suicide belt, and Elmo screaming jihadist rhetoric.
7. "children shouldn't suffer"
William ,   Israel   (01.08.12)
"Palestinian" children have been suffering constantly...at the hands of their adults that keep feeding them hate and stealing away their innocence. There is nothing in Sesame Street that could reverse the constant barrage of hatred being directed at these kids on a daily basis from both the PA and Hamas. If the "Palestinians" care about their kids, then stop the damn war and start teaching them peace. Not one TV program, not one popular song, not one artistic endeavour from the "Palestinians" was ever created under the topic of peace. That speaks volumes.
8. "Palestinian" Sesame Street
Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (01.09.12)
Oscar the Grouch lives in "Palestine!" Oscar sits in his garbage can with a cover on his head. You can almost hear him sing, "I Love Trash."
9. Does not that shows how USA cares
SEE what the USA do ,   Toronto Canada   (01.09.12)
about people?
10. The "One of these kids is wearing a bomb belt" songs
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.10.12)
are really frowned upon by the Makers of Sesame Street. What is Sesame Street going to teach the kids in Gaza.....how to work together to build a bomb...to knock of some more Jews????
11. Brought to you by the letters...
Lauren ,   USA   (02.16.12)
"F" and "U". Why was the U.S. funding this show in the first place? Surely these high and mighty Palis can get funding from iran, saudi arabia, pakistan, etc.
