Hamas militants have enlisted the iconic Mickey Mouse to broadcast their message of Islamic dominion and armed resistance to their most impressionable audience — little kids.

You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists," Farfour squeaked on a recent episode of the show, which is titled, "Tomorrow's Pioneers."

Disney daughter calls Muslim Mickey evil

The only surviving child of Walt Disney has called Hamas "pure evil" for using Mickey Mouse to teach islamic radicalism to children. Diane Disney Miller said she was disgusted that a rip-off of her father's iconic cartoon character was being used on a new Hamas TV show to encourage Palestinian children to take up arms against Israel and America

But the show also got bad reviews from Hamas' political rival, the Fatah movement, headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

"I don't think it's professional or even humane to use children in such harsh political programs,'' said Basem Abu Sumaya, head of Fatah's Palestinian Broadcasting Corp, told The AP.

Then again MTV does the same thing . Propagating liberal propaganda to impressionable teenagers

Hamas - Mickey Mouse. I have always thought of them as idiots but now seeing them as cartoon characters fits so much better.

Very ironic if you think about it. Walt Disney are a classic liberal channel (just watch their tv channel for 5 mins) i.e. it appeases minorities. Now the minorities are thanking Disney Channel.

The irony of using an icon of the West to brainwash future (their hope, not mine) walking bombs is lost on them.

That's the problem when you systematically blow up your population, one "hero" at a time - you tend to drain the gene pool.

Anyone know if Minnie Mouse is in purdah?

Farfour Mouse dies in last episode

Hamas TV on Friday broadcast what it said was the last episode of a weekly children's show featuring "Farfour," a Mickey Mouse look-alike who had made worldwide headlines for preaching Islamic domination and armed struggle to youngsters.

In the final skit, Farfour was beaten to death by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy Farfour's land. At one point, Farfour called the Israeli a "terrorist."

"Farfour was martyred while defending his land," said Sara, the teen presenter. He was killed "by the killers of children," she added.

The weekly show, featuring a giant black-and-white rodent with a high-pitched voice, had attracted worldwide attention because the character urged Palestinian children to fight Israel. It was broadcast on Hamas-affiliated Al-Aksa TV.

Station officials said Friday that Farfour was taken off the air to make room for new programs.

Station manager Mohammed Bilal said he didn't know yet what would be shown instead.

Israeli officials have denounced the program, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," as incendiary and outrageous. The program was also opposed by the state-run Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation, which is controlled by Fatah.

Good Riddance

Still very disturbing though

When I read the last post's first line, I thought he blew himself up.
First thought of mine - cannot be good, either for my own mindset, or how we see Islamic culture.

It seems Farfour who was martyred defending his land from the Jew ‘terrorists’ has been replaced by Nahoul the bee.

As we can see he is a rather sad chap who tortures animals instead of Jews

The naughty bugger gets in trouble at the end but I'm sure it was great fun for all involved

Nahoul the bee and cruelty to animals

Why the inverted commas on the word terrorists?

Animal rights group slams Hamas TV clip of man abusing cats, lions

International animal rights group PETA on Wednesday condemned a "shocking and sickening" video clip produced by a Hamas-run TV station and posted on the YouTube Web site that showed the abuse of animals.

PETA said it would protest to the TV station over the program that showed animals being abused as part of a program aimed at teaching children not to hurt animals.

The clip prompted scores of complaints from viewers worldwide.

"It's shocking and sickening," said Martin Mersereau, manager of the domestic animal abuse division of U.S.-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Mersereau said PETA was drafting a letter of protest to the Gaza-based Al-Aqsa television station.

A segment of the program was posted on YouTube after being recorded and translated by pro-Israeli group Palestinian Media Watch.

An official at the TV station declined immediate comment.

The YouTube clip shows an actor dressed as a bee mistreating cats and lions at Gaza's zoo. In the studio, he is reprimanded by the program's host, who cautions children against mimicking the bee's "terrible" behavior.

"Any lessons meant to be contained in this segment are almost certainly lost on most children, who are more likely to imitate people they see treating animals cruelly rather than understand this behavior is wrong," Mersereau said.

The Hamas-run TV station made world headlines in June when it featured a character who closely resembled Disney's Mickey Mouse advocating Palestinian attacks against Israelis. "Farfur" was later "beaten to death" by an actor depicted as an Israeli.

Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in June, after days of battling Palestinian security forces dominated by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction.
