The program focuses on the demand to boycott Danish and Israeli products. Denmark and the West are targeted because of the cartoons featuring Muhammad that first appeared in a Danish newspaper. Israel is targeted because it exists. Saraa, the young TV hostess, describes the publication of the Muhammad cartoons as "the West's attack against the Messenger [Muhammad]."
Palestinian children phone into the program to condemn the "cowardly infidels" and vow to fight them.
The children's program, Tomorrow's Pioneers, has used its previous animal character co-hosts, the Mickey Mouse lookalike Farfur and the bee Nahul, to champion violence, promote hatred of Israel and preach about world Islamic supremacy. To further reinforce its anti-Israel message, Hamas has killed off both characters and blamed Israel.

What do you have to say about this?

Saraa: What can we do for the Messenger?
Inaas: 10 year old girl by phone: We can fight them because
they cursed Allah's Messenger.
Saraa: 'Tomorrow's Pioneers' army will redeem the Messenger,
with their possessions and their blood, Assud,
and will not let them repeat this attack.
Assud: If they repeat it we will kill them, by Allah.
Saraa: In His will.
Assud: I will bite them and eat them!
