Children's show encourages terrorism

GAZA, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- A Hamas children's television show produced in Gaza, has introduced a Bugs Bunny-like star character who vows, "I will eat the Jews," a report said.

The TV show, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," was condemned in 2007 for featuring a Micky Mouse-like character who advocated terrorist attacks aimed at Israelis, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

This time around, a rabbit named Assud reportedly has become the new lead character of the show, which is produced by the Hamas-led TV station Al-Aqsa.

"This program is telling us that they see children as tools in their propaganda and their war," Palestinian Media Watch Director Itamar Marcus told the British newspaper.

The show reportedly ends with a song called, "We will never recognize Israel," and is broadcast via satellite throughout Arab-speaking countries.

Mexico City offers women's only buses

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- A women's only bus service in Mexico City has become popular with female travelers, a report said.

"We're not just talking about sexual harassment, about rapes or about incidents of violence. But also about touching, staring, which is what generally occurs on public transport," Network of Passengers' Transportation for the Government of the Federal District Director Ariadna Montiel said.

Some women using the bus service reportedly said it made their daily trips more enjoyable, CNN reported.

A woman said the bus service was, "excellent -- more comfortable too because it doesn't make as many stops and we go super well."
