"Jimmy's World," of course, was the title of a Pulitzer Prize-winning feature won by Janet Cooke of the Washington Post, and subsequently returned in ignominy after the entire story-- about a little boy named Jimmy who lived amid heroin-saturated degradation--was proved to be a total fake.
The concept of Jimmy's World comes to mind today on viewing this latest abomination from Hamas TV--broadcast, not incidentallly, just before Jimmy Carter arrived for his PLO/Hamas fest this month. The video, translated and uploaded to Youtube by Palestinian Media Watch, tries to put over another kind of total fake--an exercise in psychotic Holocaust denial, this time arguing that Jews engineered the mass murder of other Jews (the numbers being wildly exaggerated, Hamas simultaneously insists) to do away with the sick and infirm, and to create world sympathy.
I'll post the PMW transcript below, but do watch the hideous (but thankfully short) video itself, which, as these things go, is actually quite commonplace, even ho-hum. But, as Isi Leibler noted recently in the Jerusalem Post, Israel has long repressed the barbarically hateful nature of its jihadist adversaries for various reasons, including its desire to have in those adversaries a respectable "partner in peace." (Harvard psychologist Kenneth Levin puts this dangerous syndrome of denial--theme of the week--on the couch in his excellent book, The Oslo Syndrome.) As a result, many people--most people?--haven't any comprehension of the depraved depths these jihadists inhabit.
Keep in mind, of course, that after President Carter met with Hamas, thereby stamping the genocial group with his presidential seal of legitimacy, these hallucinations of hate may now be thought of as "Jimmy's World."

PMW's translation from Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas) April 18 2008
Narrator:
"The disabled and handicapped are a heavy burden on the state,"
said the terrorist leader, Ben Gurion. [Zionist leader - Israel's first PM]
The Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot [the Holocaust] to be rid of the burden of the disabled and handicapped, in twisted criminal ways.
[Picture: Holocaust death camp, dead bodies]
While they accuse the Nazis or others so the Jews would seem persecuted, and try to benefit from international sympathy. They were the first to invent the methods of evil and oppression."
Amin Dabur, head of the Palestinian "Center for Strategic Research":
"About the Israeli Holocaust, the whole thing was a joke and part of the perfect show that Ben Gurion put on, who focused on strong and energetic youth [for Israel], while the rest- the disabled, the handicapped, and people with special needs, they were sent to [to die]- if it can be proven historically. They were sent [to die] so there would be a holocaust, so Israel could "play" it for world sympathy."
Narrator:
"The alleged numbers of Jews [killed in the Holocaust] were merely for propaganda."
