I was surprised that there was an US ambassador in Germany under Hitler for a few years. A 24 year old daughter was having fun for a while. A book on the subject was recently published.

Palestinean Children on Israel

http://www.pmw.org.il/

This site has posted numerous videos which show children as young as five singing about or acting out the distruction of the state of Israel.

Tiu cxi retejo montras videojn pere de Youtube, kiujn montras infanojn tiom juna kiel 5, kantante kaj ludante pri la malapero de Israelo.

In this one a Mickey-mouse like character, Farfour, is killed by an Israeli (while the puppet is defending its land rights.

En tiu-cxi Miki-mus-simila karaktero, Farfour, estas mortigata de Israelano (dum la pupo protektas land-rajtojn de palestinanoj).

Perhaps Love is....

I appreciate the the song Perhaps Love of John Denver.

In minute 2:04 he says while his songs are universal he can be with a Japanese audience, half of whom do not understand English, but can sing all of his lyrics.

John Denver also reminds me of the fact that huge numbers of German Americans changed there names during US wars against Germany. About lost German culture I wrote years ago at http://www.esperantofriends.blogspot.com/ He, of cause did it in the name of his singing career or that his name was "too long" according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Denver . He was born ..... HENRY JOHN DEUTCHENDORF JR., about as German a name as you can get. Deutchendorf means German Village.
