[Music] man man December 29th 2008 the Gaza War had just begun but already Israeli missiles were raining down on the Gaza Strip annihilating police buildings military bases and anything they deemed to be a threat it was Carnage on the streets as residents in the strip were left helplessly waiting to see what Target Israel would choose next though that day when the missiles again fell from the sky they would strike a rather strange Target a small little known TV station called haloa TV and to that day it was Israel's sole intention to end their broadcast forever though when the smoke cleared the broadcast somehow remained with content comparable to the public access Channel you might think this is a odd site to attack especially when it's revealed that the attacks didn't even end there in 2014 aloa TV's headquarters would again be bombed and destroyed as well as in 2018 and even as recently as 2021 oh my God yes yes yes I need to go down if we're going to direct the camera now towards towards the explosion though through it all their broadcast has stayed on the air and you might be right this would be a bizarre Target had alaxa TV been like any other station in reality the content played on their Airwaves featured propaganda the like of which we have never really seen in the Modern Age and at the heart of it all was one program that stood Above the Rest as rather than focusing on the adults in the region it was instead aimed at the youth the future of the country the pioneers of Tomorrow culminating into what can only be described as the darkest children show ever created tomorrow's Pioneers a weekly children it looks like Mickey Mouse it sounds like Mickey Mouse but do you think Mickey Mouse would ever tell kids to fight Americans and the Jews before we fall down this Rabbit Hole I want to first thank today's sponsor Babel Babel is the number one language learning site in the world with programs designed to teach you real life practical conversation skills in just about any language you can think of for me it's always been my dream to travel to Italy and visit some Vineyards and eat some amazing food but without knowing at least some of the language I knew I would be completely lost So lately I've been doing Babel's quick 10-minute Italian lessons each day which have been perfect for my busy schedule and these lessons are so interactive that Babel actually uses speech recognition to help perfect my pronunciations and my accent and of all my attempts at trying to learn new languages in my life this has by far produced the fastest results and because of this I highly recommend Babble for anyone who has big travel plans this summer as it really is the perfect way to prepare for trips abroad so if this sounds like something you're interested Ed in you can click the link in the description where you'll receive 65% off your very own Babel subscription to start learning a new language today tomorrow's Pioneers it's a TV show that premiered in Palestine over a decade ago that today is rarely if ever spoken of and when it is mentioned it's often brought up in a comedic way as some of its scenes are so ridiculous that it can be undeniably hilarious at times with some of its more iconic moment turning into well-known memes across the web but we'll get more into that soon as though it is funny at times the truth is that its premise and the effects that it likely had on the children of the region is horrifying to say the least the show premiered back in 2007 a year after the Inception of alaxa TV the channel it would air on with the station itself being run by a group known as Hamas considered here in the US and in many other countries to be a terrorist organization Hamas are known for their unwavering desire to reclaim the land that they believe was taken from them by Israel years ago and in an extremely oversimplified version of events since the year 1948 Palestine has lost roughly 85% of what once was their land to the hands of Israel causing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to become displaced with many being forced to cram into a small area known as the Gaza Strip unsurprisingly This has led to NeverEnding conflict between the two sides as many Palestinians feel they had their land stolen from them and No One Believes this more strongly than Hamas this military party has goals of reclaiming their land by using any means necessary with their most infamous tactic being the use of suicide bombing which they promote heavily within their group as a means of marrom by 2006 the group would gain control over the Gaza Strip immediately making them the most powerful political organization in all of Palestine and with this came the creation of alaxa TV Hamas wanted to assure that the rest of the country was as angry and willing to fight against Israel as they were and so they created this network with the sole purpose of spreading hatred and promoting violence against their enemies which included any supporters of Israel like the United States and they were anything but subtle with how they approached this leading to most of their programs looking something like this but even if you believe that hamas's anger is Justified considering what was taken from them what they chose to do next is a lot harder to excuse as they began gearing this same type of content toward towards the children of Palestine as after all children are the most impressionable members of our society and if they could expose them to this type of content at a young age they could essentially breed loyal Hamas soldiers who would share their same hatred with Israel and thus tomorrow's Pioneers was born the show began its run back in April of 2007 and would proceed from there with four confirmed seasons and roughly 21 we archived episodes with many more currently missing as unfortunately given how obscure the show was most of it stands today as lost media but thankfully the majority of the program's most shocking moments have been archived as well as some of the actual transcripts from other episodes and with these we can piece together a good chunk of what the show was and ultimately come to a conclusion as to why exactly it was made the episodes would feature a reoccurring host named Sarah who at the time of the first episode's release was just 8 years old and she would be joined by her animal co-host the first of which being a large mouse named farfor and if this character looks familiar well it's because it's literally just a man in a cheap Mickey Mouse costume accounting for What Would by far become the show's most infamous character together the pair would talk about issues happening throughout Palestine while performing skits singing songs and featuring call-in sections where the young viewers could talk to the hosts in order to seek advice or guidance and though this may seem like any other kid show at the time where it really stands out is with its subject matter as due to it being created directly by Hamas for propaganda purposes they certainly didn't shy away from sharing their often extreme views throughout the show leading to an almost inexplicably bizarre and often times disturbing final product and truthfully finding the words to describe it all is practically impossible because it is just so insane so today I will simply be showing you guiding you Episode by episode into the world of tomorrow's pioneers and all the moments that have since gone on to make it the most disturbing children's show ever made and the further we fall down this Rabbit Hole the darker it gets it looks like Mickey Mouse but this Palestinian children's character doesn't talk like Mickey or sing like any mousketeer [Music] season 1 began on the morning of April 13th 2007 with the inaugural episode farfor is caught speaking English the program AED in a 60-minute Friday morning time slot that was often most popular with preschoolers and other young children as they would be the show's targeted demographic in the show we are introduced to Sarah and farfor and much like the title would suggest its premise centers around farfor having been caught speaking English by his uncle hazim a character played by hazim Al Shari the actual creator of the show to which farfor is chastised for as his uncle and Sarah believe he should be speaking their native language of Arabic how are you I hope to be good time for the episode then cuts to Sarah who explains that the show will act as a nucleus for the reunion of Palestine with the land that they once own and leading to a monologue from farfor where he States the episode then ends with Uncle hazim discussing the Iraq War which was transpiring around the time of this episode's airing to which he says as you can see they kill and Slaughter the children and the women whoever followed the news yesterday could see the fetus and its mother I'm sure you saw that Sarah to which Sarah agrees with this line referencing a particular bout of fighting that had just happened in the days prior to the show's Premiere and though nothing too outrageous this episode gives us a glimpse at the structure of the show as it rarely followed a coherent storyline and instead bounces around different political messages seemingly at random but overall farfor is caught speaking English is definitely mature and probably too much so for the 3 to 5-year-olds watching at home as it mentions Bloodshed and slaughtering children with its political messages being extremely on the nose but this was only the beginning and it may very well be the show's most tame episode as with each passing installment things only became more and more unbelievable today episode 2 of season 1 appears to be almost entirely lost except for one brief clip that has surfaced in recent years it's titled farfor versus Bush om mert and condalisa and in it we see a child call into the show to sing the hosting Duo a song but is promptly cut short due to its [Music] lyrics angry that the child had even mention the word surrender The Two Hosts shut down her song leading to farfor going on a TI raade where out of nowhere he begins calling out multiple political figures from rival Nations the show would then follow this up with with an episode featuring one of its most iconic moments it's titled far for in the AK-47 and includes two call-in segments one where farfor discusses how they will one day lead the world as a child sings it is the time of death we will fight the war this is Then followed by another caller an 11-year-old named Hara who sings a song about how Israel will answer for the incident that forced their people to [Applause] relocate and according to the child singing the song the answer to the Israeli problem is in AK-47 to which farfor then mimics the lyrics by simulating throwing grenades and shooting one of these weapons leading to this notorious moment that is both really funny yet also deeply disturbing when you really think about it as the show is very obviously implying that the only way they will get their land back and truly deal with this issue is by use of force especially considering that just prior to this they showcased lyrics promoting Warfare and and never surrendering to Israel providing one of the show's very first Illusions to violence which will become much more common of a theme as the episodes go by and by this point it's pretty clear that kids probably shouldn't be exposed to this kind of content and the world was starting to take notice this program broadcast on amason television tells its young Arab viewers to take up arms against Americans and Israelis but truthfully the controversy was just getting started as by this point yes the show is definitely disturbing especially knowing that there were kids watching but all in all many would argue that it's more comical than anything and recognizing this the showrunners seemingly grew unsatisfied with their current product they didn't want kids just laughing along with the program they wanted them to hate Israel and they wanted them angry upset and willing to fight at a moment's notice and so they began doubling down on their ideology with episode 4 taking a far more direct approach Ro towards breeding anti-Semitism the episode shows far for in a classroom taking a final exam before he is caught using a cheat sheet by his teacher and in response to this the mouse gives one of the craziest excuses you will ever hear in all your [Music] [Laughter] [Music] life for in this clip farfor blames the Jews for forcing him to cheat on his test citing that his home had been destroyed by them and that he had lost all his notebooks as a result to which Sarah adds that they are wicked people but it's still no excuse to cheat meanwhile Uncle hzim then goes on to say that they must study for their exams because the Jews don't want them to learn much like far for mimicking the AK-47 this would go on to become one of the Show's first viral moments as this particular clip would spread around the internet shocking and outraging viewers across the globe and with this came intense media scrutiny with even the supporters of Palestine coming forward to condemn the show's messaging along with the approach they had to such a young audience especially by hijacking such a beloved character like Mickey Mouse the whole thing clearly went way too far so far in fact that the Palestinian government the section not run by Hamas ordered that the show be pulled from the air as even they believed that it was quote unquote the wrong approach it was now creating an international outrage considering that it was very clearly trying to teach children to hate Israel but despite the direct order and criticism from all across the globe the founder of the station itself would go on TV and Proclaim that they were being unjustly targeted before vowing to continue the show every Friday until their land was returned but despite this declaration the challenges were far from over for the show as just days after this a rival political group known as F would begin an armed clash with Hamas which eventually led to the aloa TV compound being surrounded by F members and eventually seized entirely and once in their control F would cut the broadcast and replace it with a pro fat chant that would play on the network over and over again until eventually Hamas would regain control of their building sometime later it was truly an insane time period for the network but believe it or not the show had one more adversary that they would have to deal with and this one was by far their most challenging as they found themselves up against one of the most ruthless and Powerful forces our world has ever seen Disney and specifically their legal team during this time the company had become aware of the show and their use of a Mickey Mouse like character with Walt Disney's own daughter coming out and condemning the program calling it pure evil with their more than likely having been legal threats lobbied against the show as not only were they illegally using this character but they were using him to spread anti-Semitism it was blatant copyright infringement and knowing the power that Disney had there was simply no fighting them and the showrunners knew that they had to address this issue before Disney dropped the hammer which leads us to season 1 episode 5 the likely premature finale to the very first season of the show where they would handle the copyright issue of farfor in what was probably the worst way imaginable leading to by far the most infamous moment in tomorrow's Pioneers history in the episode titled farfor and the Jew farfor is speaking to his grandfather who shares the story of his people and the land they once owned and in his mind still did even going as far as pulling out a key and documents to the [Music] [Music] land for though after handing far for the documents this happens [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] this was a far heavier way of broaching this topic than the show had used before as this time they were directly targeting the emotions of the children watching at home is they're now seeing their favorite character crying on his dead relative before promising that he will liberate their land and things only get worse from here as the video cuts to a title screen that read farfor is interrogated here we see farfor being interviewed by an Israeli official who demands that he give up the key and the documents which his late grandfather had given him even offering large sums of [Music] money fore [Music] speee [Applause] [Music] foree spee foree [Music] though as preached by farfor before he didn't surrender which the officer didn't take kindly [Music] to [Music] for the scene ends with farfor being attacked by the officer before the show Fades back to Sarah and if that wasn't crazy enough this is what she had to say about the outcome of that beating in a show made for preschoolers they quite literally kill their most beloved character right before our eyes as he was literally be beaten to death it's easy to see the message they were going for with this episode and I can imagine how effective it was at spreading hamas's ideology as just picture how traumatic it would be to watch this as a child and watch as your favorite character is just murdered I mean that's comparable to kids in the US watching Barney and all of a sudden he's detained and killed by someone like a North Korean official I mean it's no wonder that this moment has since gone on to become a classic meme as it is just so bizarre in both a comical and horrifying way seeing what essentially equates to Mickey Mouse being beaten to death and for most this moment is by far the highlight of the show or the lowl light depending on who you're asking with many likely being completely unaware that the program actually continued running without far4 for three more seasons and Seasons that by far account for the majority of the show's most disturbing moments and on the topic of disturbing moments there was actually one more Scene that I was able to find here at the last minute that is by far the darkest in all of season 1 it's fairly obscure to the point that I wasn't fully able to determine what episode it was from but based on how SAR is dressed it seemingly came from the very first episode the scene depicts another Callin section where the hosts press a young girl about what she is willing to sacrifice to take back the aloa mosque a world famous mosque that was taken from the Palestinians by the hand of Israel in which the entire station itself was named after [Music] here this little girl who is no more than eight or nine years old expresses her desire not only to fight but to annihilate the Jews while closing the segment by stating how she will commit martyrdom or in other words she was going to give up her life to fight for this cause which as mentioned prior Hamas would often do by means of suicide bombing and though most of the show to this point can EAS be laughed off it's moments like this where things take a much scarier turn as the show's true intentions begin to reveal themselves and as we move forward into season 2 these moments only became more prevalent you are seeing it here exclusively first far first is dead with season one in the books the impact that tomorrow's Pioneers had in the span of just a few episodes can't be overstated the show immediately became the most popular kids program in the region with children anywhere from the ages of 3 to 4 all the way up to 12 and 13 years old tuning in religiously each Friday and given how unavoidable its main themes are it's likely that the anti-Semitism it was preaching was in fact resonating with its viewers in fact many critics of the show were going so far as to claim that it was outright brainwashing its viewers to not only hate Israelis but to commit commit acts of violence against them instead of being entertained they're being indoctrinated and at the end of the day I don't think Hamas was even trying to hide this either but following the death of far for all eyes were on the show with the whole world wondering what will they do next how could they replace this beloved character that had brought the show so much infamy well given time constraints and alaxa TV's desire to air the program every Friday the truth is that they were unprepared to replace far for and the following week the show was forced to start season 2 without a co-host for Sarah the episode was titled Sarah and the Hadith and unfortunately practically all of the episode is currently missing with the exception of one short clip as it shows us yet another Callin section and yet another instance of anti-semitism [Music] immediately after this episode aired the creators of the show realized that they needed something else to appeal to the children the show was just not the same without far for as it seemingly lost both its shock Factor as well as its entertainment Factor making the whole product immediately less interesting and so in season 2 episode 2 the creators of the show would come together and create a plan as though far for was gone for good there was one other character that they could turn to his cousin for this is nul the bee and much as he desired within this video he would become the show's new co-host just like his cousin farfor and on the topic of farfor nul vehemently praised him and vowed not only to continue in his footsteps with tomorrow's Pioneers but also he wanted to follow his path to [Music] martyrdom and not only did he Express his desire for this to happen to him but he also mentions how all of his his friends should follow in these footsteps as well with his friends likely referring to the young children watching at home providing what almost feels like a call to action for the young viewers episode 3 titled nul's rant only offers us a small snippet of surviving video but it's still enough to get the basic gist the premise was simple essentially it was just a lengthy monologue performed by nul as he tells the children that we will all live liberate alaxa while using some Choice words and further pulling at the emotions of the viewers at home the episode also has a Callin section where a child expresses his desire to become a journalist one day to which nul says the video then ends with nul shouting we are all Jihad Warriors Allah willing nul's big day out this is by far one of the show's most unusual episodes which is really saying something the program starts out with nul and SAR discussing their desire to occupy alaxa to which nul explains how he believes they can achieve this [Music] this may be the show's darkest moment yet as nul directly calls out the children watching and says that the only way they will regain control of alaxa is by means of morning prayers blood sacrifice and pain further elaborating a few seconds later by saying that the key to all of this is by using means of Martyrs SAR then attempts to Cal nul down by telling him that the children the pioneers of Tomorrow will do what it takes to regain control of aloa which as stated before will require Mar it really feels like the whole show up until this point was leading to this moment a direct call to action essentially conditioning and then asking these children to Martyr themselves something that was first hinted at then heavily implied and now expressly stated I mean they are literally asking their child viewers to sacrifice their lives and as mentioned prior hamas's most notable way of martyring themselves is by means ofde bombing leading to some arguing that the show is expressly telling these kids that they should become suicide bombers however though it always ends the same marcher Dum does come in many different forms so for now let's leave this as a working Theory as it will come up again later but surprisingly the episode didn't even end there with the rest being dedicated to a fun trip that nul had at the zoo which is where things devolve into complete [Music] chaos [Music] for I'm not actually sure how much YouTube will let me show of this but nul enters an exhibit filled with hats and proceeds to instantly start abusing them and the abuse isn't all that horrible when you watch it but it's definitely enough to cause discomfort to the animals at the very least and things progress from there as nul then visits a cage with two lions in it and proceeds to start throwing rocks at them [Music] [Music] it is just the strangest thing that I have ever seen and the justification for it is even stranger as ultimately Saras sits nul down after the fact and scolds him for his [Music] [Music] behavior and that is how the episode ends so their messages to not abuse animals or you will go to hell while quite literally going out and abusing animals themselves for the show it just almost doesn't feel real how unusual it is and certainly there would have been better ways to tell this message strangely enough despite the showrunners at one point promising a new episode of tomorrow's Pioneers each Friday there's actually a six-month Gap in between episodes 4 and five with the show either having gone off the air or the episodes having gone unarchived which is probably the more likely explanation and if anything were to have vared between these episodes than it seems to be currently lost and for that reason I'll still be referring to this as episode 5 titled nul and Saras Feast of the sacrifice Extravaganza this installment shows the two co-hosts celebrating the Feast of sacrifice though nul seems to be in no mood for the celebration and of all the shocking moments in the show's run nothing surprised me more than when I heard nul speak in this clip for some reason in this episode and this episode only nul had a different voice actor and rather than having his signature high-pitched voice he literally just sounds like a normal guy and he even breaks character at one point to laugh at a child calling in it is just so weird but in terms of the actual content nul is upset during the celebration as he feels like he has nothing to be thankful for given that all of his family is either dead or ailing before the episode is then closed out with a song by Sarah featuring lyrics that again glorifies martyrdom by saying we will meet our death with no hesitation award your Victory to those who sacrifice themselves this is your wedding oh martyr from here the show would again go off the air this time for a little over a month and with this absence there was actually a very reasonable explanation that yet again involves F in early January of 2008 F would once again Target Hamas and specifically aloa TV This Time by kidnapping four members of their staff leading to things shutting down yet again before the men would eventually be returned but following the show's absence it would be revealed that during this break the show's creators had been brewing up something special yet another plot twist that would end season 2 and leave its fans completely at a [Music] loss the episode begins with nul in a hospital having fallen deathly ill his mother explains how they tried to transfer him to Egypt to receive some sort of medical attention but Israel denied their entry and with there being no proper Treatment available in Palestine nul eventually stops breathing [Music] picturing the children watching this at home I almost think that this death is somehow more depressing than far fors as the way the doctors are desperately trying to resuscitate nul until he just passes away has got to be so upsetting for a child to see although unlike the death that ended season 1 the tone of this episode was Far different as rather than being upset at the loss of her co-host Sarai is instead more proud than anything and this strange emotional roller coaster continues from here as we are immediately introduced to a brand new character nul's brother a rabbit named asud who we are shown receiving the news that nul was no longer alive [Music] for speech [Music] asud then vows to take the place of his Fallen brother as well as farfor as the brand new host of tomorrow's pioneers with the rabbit then taking his new spot alongside Sarah and closing the show with this discussion the scene gives us a number of disturbing lines like we are all martyrdom Seekers at the end of the day and we are all ready to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of our homeland and these lines are made even darker as just moments before Sarah was praising nul's passing and glorifying it as some sort of wedding as opposed to actual death essentially conditioning these kids into believing that martyrdom is good thing but by far this episode's most disturbing moment and the show's darkest yet comes immediately following these lines referencing martyrdom together asud and sah the host of this show again literally made for children with SAR herself being only 9 years old discuss how they wish to be the first of the tomorrow's Pioneers family to Martyr themselves so that they can lead the way for their viewers to follow in their footsteps and if this wasn't Twisted enough the show ends with a su reciting yet another one of the show's most infamous lines providing a chilling end to this incredibly eventful season the language in this final episode is truly shocking as with each episode its creators were pushing the boundaries further and further and as the content became darker as a result the show only grew in popularity among the kids of Palestine which was incredibly worrisome as season 2's entire premise was seemingly centered around martyrdom going as far as to ask the children to follow their lead and lay down their lives for their country but how effective could this really be would watching this program actually convince children to join the fight well I would say undoubtedly yes think about it season 1 basically laid the groundwork for anti-Semitism it gave the children an enemy and a reason to be angry while season 2 and its glorification of martyrdom provided the kids with an outlet for that anger it gave them a way to address the enemy that would would not only help reclaim their land but also make them a celebrated member of their Community I mean it's so disturbing to even consider but by this point of the show I think it's more than fair to question if the entire program was created not only to breed anti-Semitism but also to breed Martyrs willing to give their lives for Hamas at the age of just four or 5 years old given just how popular the show was and how impressionable children are at that young age the national media continued its criticism against the show with many being outright convinced that this theory was true and that the whole thing was essentially breeding terrorists and as we continue on to season 3 the show would only provide its critics with more fuel evil stuff you've got a children's character saying I will eat the Jews all willing beginning on February 8th 2008 just just one week after season 2's conclusion season 3 would start with many discrepancies over whether or not this Infamous eating Jew segment came from this episode or the episode prior and due to this confusion there's actually no footage that I can find that was confirmed to have come from this episode but according to an incredibly brief overview of the episode it was supposedly titled A sued story and it revealed that a suit had actually come from Egypt and was allowed to enter Gaza the month prior due to the Gaza fence having been breached a song was then later played that featured the line we will never recognize Israel until we liberate our homeland from the Zionist filth the show continued the next Friday with the release of episode 2 titled AUD versus Denmark the entire episode was a direct response to a cartoonist named Kurt westergard a Danish artist who had published artwork containing offensive depictions of the Prophet Muhammad which was considered to be blasphemy in response tomorrow's Pioneers put out this program condemning his acts and calling for a boycott of all goods from Denmark during the show multiple children call in and further drive this point home while expressing their frustration and anger at the [Music] man before Sarah proclaimed that they will avenge their Prophet by directly threatening the Danes to which ass Su says this [Music] following this lofty Threat by AUD saren goes on to explain how these words don't make them terrorists somehow bringing things back to the fact that they just want their land back as before it seemed with each passing episode the creators were upping their shock value but now they were stooping down to the point where their co-host is literally saying that he will kill people if there were any more offensive depictions of Muhammad and the episode doesn't even end there as they yet again bring the conversation back to martyrdom to which a suit predicts his own martyrdom and then asks Sarah [Music] the whole thing is just insanely Twisted as a suit states that martyrdom for Muhammad is what we are all hoping for including all of the fans of tomorrow's pioneers and believe it or not it keeps going from here as this is one of the most content-rich episodes to date as the co-hosts proceed to take another call in where they ask a child what they would do to Kurt westergard and the show finally comes to an end with a su showing a picture of the actual cartoonist after everyone on the show was already threatening him before continuing to insult him clearly this is one of the more emotionally charged episodes we've seen yet as they truly held nothing back straight up threatening the cartoonist on so many occasions with no subtlety whatsoever and interestingly there would actually be an assassination attempt against Kurt westergard broke into westgard's home last night wielding an Axe and a knife and shouting he wanted to kill him though it wasn't related in any way to the show's audience Not only was this episode a key point to the show's history as it was perhaps its most violent installment yet it was also important for another reason following the episode's release a statement would be made in the United States House of Representatives by a member named Joseph Crowley no relation to me by the way who actually submitted a resolution to the house condemning tomorrow's pioneers and the effects that it could have on the children of Palestine by stating the House of Representatives condemns Hamas for using a children's television program to incite hatred violence and anti-Semitism towards Israel and demands that Hamas immediately suspend all television programs of that nature while further going on to reference characters like farfor and asud calling him a bugs bunny ripoff and outright stating that the show was teaching children a terroristic Doctrine through all the criticisms that tomorrow's Pioneers had faced this was the first time that it was seemingly taken before the United States government who would then go as far as to label alaa TV themselves a terrorist organization and demand that tomorrow's Pioneers be ended and as a response the show seemingly went off the air for nearly 2 more months with many believing that that was the end of tomorrow's pioneer years but apparently the threat of the United States government wasn't enough to permanently shut them down and on May 9th 2008 the show would make its return the episode was titled ass's history lesson and shows the rabbit visiting his only surviving grandfather the other having passed away in the hands of far for as he's given a lesson about the history of their land [Music] all in all it's a pretty unmemorable episode that essentially just acts as a history lesson for the kids the season would continue with episode 4 ass sued Steals and contrary to the episode prior this one proves to be one of the most memorable of all time as yes there are some particularly disturbing moments but all in all it's just more strange than anything as we are taken to the room of ass's Grandfather as the bunny sneaks in with the intent of stealing his money [Music] [Music] [Applause] before the money is actually taken ass suud makes the noble decision not to steal from his grandfather or at least at first he does until he is confronted by Satan himself the [Music] for and the way that Satan is depicted here with him being like half the size of a suit is just so funny as this is probably the least threatening Satan that I have ever seen in my life but regardless a suit is convinced by him to steal for which he is then chastised by the callers of the show and this isn't your typical criticism as the callers wanted a sue to pay the price for his sin to which they propose a particularly gruesome punishment as punishment for his crime every single call and guest demands that a sued have his hand chopped off and Sarah agrees even proposing that they instead chop off one of his ears only to quickly backtrack and give the rabbit another [Music] chance but as it would later turn out assu would get his karma after all as following this episode an event would transpire that no one could have seen coming the sheer power of Israel's air strikes the country's Air Force continues to turn Palestinian targets to Rubble targets like this one the Hamas run alaka television station on December 29th 2008 alaa TV station would be completely destroyed by Israeli missiles as with the the added context of just how dark the Network's programs were and are you can understand a bit more why the show's headquarters became such a Target though despite many not seeing the attack coming alaxa TV had this was supposed to be a fatal blow to the network but staff had already been evacuated and they had scattered their station across Gaza to various Anonymous spots just before the missiles had struck meaning that despite losing their home tomorrow's Pioneers l lived on but despite the show itself surviving the attack the same couldn't be said for its host in the fifth and final episode of season 3 AUD reveals that he had been inside the building collecting artifacts from the show before the missiles had struck and as he talks he begins to fall weaker and weaker [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] ass yes much like the other animal co-hosts had done in every single season finale before a sued would pass away leading to this closing monologue by sah [Music] [Music] and that is how season 3 would come to an end first farfor then nul and now assu all dead due to the supposed wrongdoings of Israel and the effect of ass's death was perhaps the most emotionally charged for children at home as he was said to have become a particularly beloved icon in the region and one that the kids just absolutely adored due to his far more blunt approach to topics and specifically violence but now he was gone and with no home for tomorrow's pioneers and now knowing that the station had a Target on its back the show had reached yet another Crossroads and perhaps its most uncertain hour yet and adding insult to injury FAL would once again emerge as an adversary to Hamas but this time in a different way as they had taken the opportunity to launch their own show on their own network in the region and the show was basically just an exact ripoff of tomorrow's Pioneers that would instantly become the show's direct competition taking a large slice of their viewership but it seems that whenever this show was backed up against a wall he would always find a way to persist and after just a few weeks the Gaza War would come to an end and taking advantage of the ceasefire the crew of the show would quickly reestablish themselves in a brand new building and before long tomorrow's Pioneers was back for its fourth and evidently final [Music] season starting on February 13 2009 the show was entering new territory they had always had a Target on their back but now they realized the threat of just how serious their words were becoming which is where we get into a personal theory of mine looking back on the death of a su something he said within his dying words had always stuck out to me AUD mentions how the tomar's Pioneer set had a distinct area where children could come and play basically equating to a daycare but if you think that this sounds like a wholesome little tidbit I have an inclination that there may be something more Sinister at play if you think about it advertising that there were innocent children within the building at all times that they were working essentially makes it Untouchable from Israeli destruction as if they were to bomb the building with all those innocent kids in there well the Optics would be horrible so it's possible that this was exactly what their thinking was behind starting a daycare within their facilities this essentially guaranteed that Israel would never just straight up destroy the building without warning as even during the 2008 attack Israel had actually given them a heads up that they would be destroying the building providing more than enough time to evacuate the kids who stayed there with this heads up being the only reason that the tomorrow's Pioneers crew were able to escape and for season 4 immediately following this bombing they would take things a step further as in every episode from here on out the show would feature a group of random innocent kids who would not only be allowed on set but would also be sitting on stage with the hosts at all times again this makes it an impossible Target to just randomly attack and considering the timing of it all with it having started practically right after the building was destroyed it all just seems like too much of a coincidence and this new format wasn't the only new addition for the season as with the suit having passed away we would soon be introduced to the show's fourth and final co-host this is nasur a bear that had supposedly entered the Gaza Strip after the recent War had ended and he had come to take the place of asud unlike the other characters he seemingly didn't get a grand introduction or perhaps it just wasn't archived but he did share his reasoning for coming to the area [Music] n starts his run on the show by immediately declaring war on the zionists and Not only was he declaring war but he included his 10-year-old co-host as well and though it's nothing too shocking at least in comparison to what we've already seen this would lay the groundwork for the darkest season of the show's run by far episode 2 titled Sarah song unfortunately doesn't have the best archived version available but I was able to find a news report that features at least some of the video with commentary over the top this video is airing on the Hamas run television station appearing while children are home on Summer recess the dialogue encourages parents to quote teach the children that their death will bring glory and victory critics argue that Hamas has left no doubt about what it seeks to teach Palestinian children using the Star of David as a dart board and telling parents to help them teach their kids that they should be willing to sacrifice their lives is pretty on brand for what you would expect from tomorrow's Pioneers at this point but that doesn't make it any less disturbing as it seems that with each mention of martyrdom the show's approach becomes more and more blunt almost as if it's conditioning kids to get used to this idea and by this point our theory about the show being created to lead kids to martyrdom seems to be all but confirmed as you may have noticed that they had even began straight up referring to the children as soldiers following this the show would continue to air each Friday though many of these episodes would go unarchived however I was able to find a few Clips like this one where we see Nur surrounded by children on stage though this is nothing compared to a segment that was shown a week prior and yet another unlabeled [Music] [Laughter] episode before a child calls in to sing this song song for the groue [Music] [Music] [Music] in what feels like the most dystopian moment of the show yet a group of children sit together and sing a song about martyrdom and how their lives are meaningless without Palestine and if this isn't a directed Mission as to what the show was trying to do and proof that it was in fact working then I don't know what is but as dark as this moment may seem it would all pale in comparison to what the show had planned next episode 3 Nur and the children of re raisha this is the big one the sole reason that I even decided to make this video as it was my initial glimpse into how truly Disturbed the show was and of all the episodes I've seen and the year I've spent researching SE in this topic this is the darkest moment in the show's history in this episode nasur and Saras spend a day on set with a group of children two of which belonging to a famous woman named re Risha who in their words was a hero and what exactly did this famous hero do well on January 14th 2004 she entered an area known as The arz Crossing essentially a heavily guarded border crossing point between Israel and Gaza City and when waiting for security to allow her to cross she would then detonate an explosive strapped to her body killing her and four Israelis instantly and in a videotaped message taken before the attack she would State I wanted to be the first woman to carry out a Marr Dum operation where parts of my body can fly all over God has given me two children I love them with a kind of love that only God knows but my love to meet God is stronger and now those two children were sitting here on on stage with nasur and SAR but what was the purpose of this episode what did they actually do with the kids well for some reason they decided it would be a good idea to show these young children a reenactment of the day their own mother had taken her life with a video recreating her final moments as well as the moment that she exploded [Music] [Music] the whole thing is just the craziest piece of media I have ever seen in my life with the lyrics of the song played in the background being the icing on the cake as it tells the story from the perspective of one of her children asking their mother why they are carrying a bomb instead of them in their arms and finishing it off by saying only now I know what was more precious than us but it gets even more disturbing following the explosion [Music] [Music] so not only were the children themselves shown a reenactment of their mother dying right before their eyes but the same video shows an actor portraying the daughter and vowing to follow in her mother's footsteps it is just so horrible especially for this young girl who now regardless of her thoughts and feelings likely feels that she has to follow in her mother's path and Martyr herself and the show continues briefly from here as SAS States [Music] sarra claims how they referencing the pioneers of Tomorrow Will all follow in the footsteps of R Risha and with this it's clear that the show is not only promoting marrom but it's clearly promoting martyrdom by means of suicide bombing seemingly confirming the long-standing theory surrounding the show meet the next generation of suicide bombers she's just 4 years old and praising her mother as she goes out to blow herself up I just feel so awful for all the kids in this situation and truly everything about this episode is as deranged as it could ever get even as dark as the show had gotten before and as many notable moments as there were it was this moment that I truly believe to be its lowest point and perhaps maybe even the darkest moment of any kid show ever created did but the show wasn't quite finished yet as from here we would get episode 4 called nasur and the expulsion of the Jews where the season would delve even deeper [Laughter] and of all the fiery language in tomorrow's Pioneers history this less than a minute long clip features some of its most appalling as the hosts literally have an argument about whether or not all the Jews should be slaughtered with the sword are being fully convinced that they should and it accounts for three straight episodes in this season that are just completely vile as the show by this point had gone completely mask off but there was one quote made from a Palestinian journalist about this episode that and okay I know this is really messed up but this is actually kind of funny in response to the episode a journalist in the area would state that the show often blended pragmatic advice with more problematic messages but stressed that it wasn't always bad by saying generally the program also transmits good messages to kids like drinking milk or asking parents permission to do something but we also find these very problematic messages like the call to kill all Jews so yeah I guess it all evens out the episode titled nasur and the language of the enemy is considered by many sources to be the final episode of the show's run and features just a rather lackluster clip of a child being interviewed about what he wants to be when he's older [Music] for and that's about all we have of the episode and if you think that's a rather underwhelming end to the show I have to agree with you in fact I didn't even believe it myself so I dug a bit deeper and discovered that Not only was this not the actual final episode but the end of the show itself is essentially a total mystery to this day in my research I was able to find multiple clips from seemingly forgotten episodes like this one from December 5th 2009 [Music] and another having come exactly a month later [Music] but the last Trace I could find of tomorrow's pioneers and potentially its final episode ever might actually be this clip showing the children singing about martyrdom as I just realized after this entire video was made that this scene is actually dated a full year later than I had thought and rather than being from April 2nd 2009 it seems to instead be from April 2nd 2010 a full half year after the show had supposedly ended giving it by far are the latest air date of any tomorrow's Pioneers episode that I was able to find meaning that this may very well be the final moment of the show and what a fitting end this would be as at the end of the day this was really what the show was striving for anger hatred martyrdom and I truly think that they succeeded with this Mission and though there isn't really evidence that could ever prove this I think that any child in the region watching this program every Friday morning would likely walk away at the very least believing that Israel is the enemy and at most wanting to Martyr themselves in retaliation against them and that's just due to how impressionable kids are at that age as their minds are still forming and in many ways conforming to the world around them in one report I read really hit home just how effective this propaganda was as a journalist had interviewed children on the streets of Gaza and asked them to explain why they hated Israel so much to which multiple would respond with something along the lines of because they killed far for but though this may be a fitting conclusion to at least drive home the theme of the show I still have so many questions as to the conclusion of the show itself tomorrow's Pioneers was a spectacle with every turn giving us more and more shocking moments so many in fact that it inspired me to make this video which is by far the longest of my life yet we're supposed to believe that it just disappeared it just makes no sense for a show like this to leave quiet especially considering that Nour well seemingly survived I mean every single host had been martyred by season's end yet Nour had somehow avoided this fate in what would have been not only the end of season 4 but the end of the entire show in general it just doesn't seem on brand for the program at all it makes me think that the end of the show was most likely unplanned if I had to guess I noticed that less than a month before this supposed final episode the US would actually launch sanctions against the main bank in Gaza for the sole reason that they were funding alaxa TV and specifically tomorrow's Pioneers as they believe the show was and I quote intended to recruit children as future armed operatives and suicide bombers and with these sanctions it likely forced hamas's hand at quietly shutting the program down as at that point they really wouldn't have had a choice without funding and I think this explains why there was no dramatic ending or exciting story about the end of the show as it was likely never planned and rather it would have just been quietly pulled from Air at a time where the internet was still too new to Archive everything leading to a rather inconspicuous and definitely uncharacteristically quiet end to the darkest children show ever made or at least that's what I thoughts [Music] Hur Following Season 4 is a series of twists and turns that I could have never seen coming as somehow the story gets even stranger from here and it all starts with the bombing of Gaza in 2014 during this time there was yet another bout of fighting between the two sides leading to the destruction of alaxa TV's headquarters and a massive amount of casualties throughout Palestine including the death of a man named moham Muhammed arari Muhammad was a 31-year-old actor before he was killed in what was described by his family as a random missile strike that had accidentally destroyed his home and his story became a huge talking point among Palestinian rights groups as the man was supposedly a kind gentle soul who had been working on a local kids program as a character named Kor the mischievous chicken who is family referred to as the most famous television character in all of Gaza and emphasizing how much the kids in the region had missed him the story was so heartbreaking that it was then picked up by outside news outlets in the US and soon enough Muhammad aari's story was spreading all across the world as a perfect picture of the unjust attack against Palestine as this man was as innocent as you could get however there was one major problem this wasn't the full story carore was in fact a character on TV but what was often left out of these reports was is what show he was actually part of a little known program called tomorrow's Pioneers the viral story essentially led to the discovery that Tamar's Pioneers had somehow returned to air with kour as its new host and he was far from gaza's most popular character as his run on the show seemingly only lasted a few episodes as I could only find one short clip and one photograph that even showed the character for [Applause] [Applause] though it's a brief clip this tells you all you need to know about the message caror was spreading and either way Muhammad did not play this role for long at all in fact at the time of his death he had been playing a totally different character for nearly a year now a character called nul The Bee though his costume was different Tamar's Pioneers had not only come back but they had brought back nul as well in which Muhammad would play up until his death in 2014 and though Muhammad was described as a kind innocent man his role as nul was well anything but [Music] the message is taught throughout the show during his run were in many cases even worse than the stuff we have already covered and if it was more properly archived I could have easily made a whole other section about this content but this was the man that they were essentially portraying as this innocent TV host basically like a Palestinian Mr Rogers and I can't believe I'm even saying this but it somehow got even worse upon discovering his true role with alaxa TV and tomorrow's Pioneers it would also be discovered that this innocent man was actually a well-known terrorist in the Hamas organization and the reason he was quote unquote randomly caught in a missile strike was because that very strike was made specifically for him as he was considered a high-profile terrorist So Not only was this whole campaign basically being centered around a literal terrorist but also they literally had a wanted terrorist working as the host on a kid show somehow making all of tomar's pioneers even more dubious and as while as this part of the story is the most noteworthy detail to come of all of it was the fact that tomorrow's Pioneers was still very much alive of the seasons that I could find it appears that caror had hosted the show sometime in 2013 and Was Then followed by nul the be and then what appears to be some kind of dog character which their social media team seemingly called far4 I was even able to find what seems to be a season that is currently airing as we speak with the new co-host being whatever this is meaning that the show is still very much alive to this day and the show was essentially identical to the prior Seasons with the exception of its host Asar would not reprise her role and instead go on to take up a new career interestingly sarra was initially cast to the show when Uncle hazim had discovered her singing at a talent show and since her time on tomorrow's Pioneers she has since pursued that career further along with even starting her own YouTube channel where she uploads her songs and a variety of other content including a call-in section that she had in a recent episode of the show and it goes without saying but please do not send hate her way as she was literally just a kid during her time on the show and this was basically what she was born into and though the show during this run was the same style of shocking content by this point the outside world had seemingly become numb to it they had already crossed the line so many times that at this point it wasn't even newsworthy anymore and plus with the Rival F programming still going on in the region tomorrow's Pioneers would seemingly be forgotten with the majority of the show from the end of season 4 and really just in general being completely lost though even if most of the show is missing forever its effects will never be erased as this content opened the door for aloa TV and the Rival Fatar run stations to unleash a slew of kid- centered content depicting some of the most atrocious propaganda imaginable forever changing the landscape for the children living in the region and as for the station that started at all aloa TV well in 2015 they were again ordered by the Palestinian government to go off the air in order which they again refused in 2018 while the station was live on air bombs began dropping around them as a warning that their building would soon be destroyed and destroyed it was as the station was decimated for a third time this time leading alaa TV to the brink of bankruptcy and coming just a few days away from shutting down for good yet somehow they found a way way to stay on the air which leads us to 2019 and their most recent controversy as the station was accused of using coded messages throughout their shows in order to send and receive messages to Hamas members in a way that was essentially untraceable leading to their headquarters again being bombed in 2021 and relocated to a new building that would likely suffer the same fate some other day looking back on our journey through this disturbing show I'm still left with questions as to the Unexplained gaps in its run and perhaps this video can help unearth some of the program's missing moments or perhaps they'll stay lost for good but if this is where the story of tomorrow's Pioneers truly ends then let it be remembered for what it was a shocking vile somehow funny yet utterly terrifying creation the darkest show ever made for the most vulnerable group in our world the children the future the pioneers of tomorrow before you go I think it's important to stress that the ideology preached within this series is definitely not how all Palestinians think in fact I'd say most in the region condone the show as well as the media's assault on their children for and that's why this video isn't some sort of political statement I just genuinely found this show to be so interesting in the most disturbing way possible and if anything this is just one piece to a very complicated puzzle and if you want more information on this conflict I definitely recommend doing your own research and not formulating your opinion on this video alone I want
