I stumbled upon this while I was looking up youtube clips in giving a presentation of "what not to do while presenting" to my students this summer, under the search term "evil Hamas," for my composition course on terrorism and globalization. I was previously using a video entitled "Hamas eats kittens," that's been taken down for whatever reason but both worked for me as specious examples of "useful evidence" for making particular kinds of arguments, e.g. a terrorist organization is "evil" which is a metaphysical claim that can't necessarily be proven in a 6-9 page essay.
Note: I have no idea how accurate the translations are on here, but I'm waiting for Juan Cole to get back to me on this.
