“On the old north shore at Blair Water on New Moon Farm, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain…”

OP’s right, do not watch this before going to sleep.

And one last of those dark and sinister posts before I am done with this all (because I have said all I felt I needed to say, and I want to move on back to the regular program)

I watched the video above one month ago or so, and I would have never believed I would have to share it today... But this very dark and disturbing documentary-video explores an infamous children television show that aired on Palestinian TV, on a channel known as "Al-Aqsa TV". This propaganda program designed to indoctrinate children into an antisemitic war against Israel became quite famous on the Internet later because it featured each season a mascot that would end up being killed somehow - and the first of those mascots was a rip-off of Mickey Mouse himself. This is all EXTREMELY disturbing, so do not watch before going to sleep... There are notably scenes of children singing songs about being ready to kill themselves to save their country.

If... But if you want to see what kind of stuff the Hamas were up to not so long ago, go watch this video, because Al-Aqsa TV is a channel run by the Hamas, and thus this program, "Tomorrow's Pioneers" is a reflection of what the Hamas ideology and plans were in the 2000s. Yes, the 2000s, this show aired from 2007 to 2009. Watch the video, and you'll see why it puts things in perspective.

Behold! The engine that's been rotting my brain for months, whose design I can now finally show off!

Meet Silver Pilot, the engine that pulls the Nebraska Zephyr at my local railway museum, the Illinois Railway Museum! He and Pioneer are penpals, both having worked for the CB&Q and now being preserved.

Let's Talk About Antisemitism

A video amalgam on the T r e e h o u s e // podcast of a couple posts on here as well as sourced information on Pioneers of Tomorrow, an antisemitic Palestinian children's show.

Details quotes from Hamas officials openly calling for the complete genocide of Jews in Israel and around the world. Also discusses the ICJ South Africa v Israel genocide case, and Holocaust inversion.

Did you know? There was a children's show put out by Hamas in the late 00s that tried to brainwash Palestinian children into hating Jews

[willowchild]

Why are you rbing people using memri tv as any evidence that Palestinians as a whole (already generalising) hate Jews? Memri is literally an American/israeli propaganda channel

What post is this even refering to?

I don't believe Palestinians as a whole hate Jews. And I don't think I promote a thinking like that. I think like in Israel there are extremists there and there's a lot of propaganda against Israelis and Jews in general BC of hamas. You can see it in the schoolbooks, TV shows, in the statistics of support for terrorism in different polls. I believe a different way is possible because while there are extremists on both sides, Gazans are being brainwashed into that hate. I don't get why it's wrong to acknowledge that. Ppl elevate extremist Israelis and claim it's all Israelis all the time, I don't do that and I think Gaza has a LOT of innocent people & people who can be de-radicalized. not to love Israel or anything but just not be bombarded with antisemitic propaganda

Friendly rivalry between alderpaw and needlepaw in an au where clans are friendly and collaborative with eachother.

I'm writing this preamble before writing the ficlet so I don't know how much of this is gonna reflect on it, but I do want it to be known that my immediate thought seeing this prompt was not to focus on the Needlepaw and Alderpaw of it all but rather on the aspect of the Clans being friendlier and more collaborative.

See, half because a while back my friend group got really into thinking about shipping dynamics based on Ursula K. Le-Guin short stories and half because that's what I was reading about for my class on anthropological theory I have thought about the idea of Clans as a type of moiety that evolved out of a gradual cooling of the political tensions at the creation of the Clans.

I usually group the four forest clans into two sets of two based on the alliances towards the end of TPB, LionClan with WindClan and ThunderClan and TigerClan with ShadowClan and RiverClan. I'll have to brainstorm a name for what the two larger Clans with ShadowClan and ThunderClan on one side and WindClan and RiverClan on the other as their halves would be.

(Want to see me overcomplicate your AU premise? Check my guidelines and give me your prompt! You may just be the one chosen next.)

“Alderpaw, come on!” Molewhisker stopped to encourage his panting apprentice. His trudging step and panting tongue betrayed right away how over-exerted he was from the exercise. Or it would if he didn’t look positively ragged, with fur sticking out everywhere and leaves and even bits of grass caught up all across his pelt.

His siter had convinced her own mentor and Molewhisker to make the trek to ShadowClan camp into a training exercise, though perhaps that’s too strong a word for how easily Cherryfall jumped on the idea. Alderpaw would be lying if he were to say he didn’t resent that about his sister just a little bit for how she had made a trip he was already dreading all the worse.

He understood, of course, the need to do so. It was as vital for a warrior of any Clan to get to know their sister Clan as it was to get to know their own territory and their own prey. But nothing he’d heard about their siblings from the other forest had been the least bit encouraging.

After every single gathering the senior warriors would return complaining about Consul Rowanclaw’s inability to keep the peace among his crowd, especially after the kits from their unusually fecund year had begun into apprenticeship. Most of ThunderClan held no particular love of his father but considering the alternative they dreaded the coming year when Consul Bramblestar would have to step back as Brambleclaw, letting Rowanstar enact his year of primary leadership.

When Alderpaw finally came to rest, almost collapsing without a care for the fact the floor was strewn with endless pine needes instead of the more familiar leaf litter, his peace was short-lived for he was soon faced with an unfamiliar silver-gray she-cat making faces at him. “This is a ThunderClan cat?” she said with an eyeroll as she turned around and slapped him across the face with her tail. “And I thought this was going to be a challenge.”

“The real challenge is going to be having to live with them,” another one jeered.

“They’re even worse at the gathering,” a third one of the apprentices piped up. “All goody two-paws trying oh so hard to impress their mentors. It’s sickening really.”

As they each took turns hurling insult after insult, Alderpaw could hear his sister swishing her tail across the pine needle cover. He knew that kind of look on her face, eager to jump to her own defense, and by extension that of her kin and Clan. But she also looked to her mentor who had not yet done anything about the insolent apprentices in spite of the authority conferred by her rank even over the youth of another Clan.

With a subtle eye signal from his sister and a tap of her foot, Molewhisker sprung into action, bringing the apprentice currently taking his turn at a jab under his grasp.

“Are we done with this distraction now?” The other apprentices tensed seeing the warrior currently grasping their friend but as Cherryfall flashed her claws they backed down.

Molewhisker released his grasp on the apprentice and soon enough Cherryfall was instructing everyone on the training exercise they would be performing together. “Don’t you think just because you have them to intimidate them that I’m going to go easy on you,” the silver-gray molly said to Alderpaw.

Just his luck that he had been paired with her of all possible cats...
