A Palestinian woman, who is a Hamas supporter, holds up a picture of a jailed relative during a demonstration calling for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails in the West Bank city of Ramallah May 10, 2007. The Palestinian government urged Hamas on Wednesday to shelve a children's show on a Hamas television station in which a Mickey Mouse look-alike calls for Israel to be vanquished and Islam to "lead the world".
