At the zoo

Charles Levinson unearths this disturbing-but-funny-but-disturbing MEMRI clip from Hamas TV about getting children to behave better with animals. It is truly bizarre, but I wouldn't draw any wider conclusions from it aside from wondering whether there can be a worse place for animals than Gaza zoo (look at how small the lion's cage is), which is not surprising considering Gaza itself has been turned into an open-air prison for humans.



Update: PETA is shocked, shocked at how animals are treated in a place where humans receive worse treatment.
