On a scale of 10 this is an 11

The Middle East Media Research Institute (www.memri.org) has translated a short Hamas film that can be seen here. It is set during the second intifada and is perhaps one of the more disturbing things I've ever seen. It glorifies the rock-slinging child martyr and is heavy on anti-Israeli propoganda. I don't think anyone can say that Israel's handling of the Palestinian situation is without fault, but it is hard to come to defense of the Palestinian cause when they produce such films.
