Farfour the Islamic Mickey Mouse DEAD
Quote:
Cartoon character is 'martyred' on TV
ETHAN MCNERN
THE Hamas-affiliated al-Aqsa TV channel last night broadcast what it said was the last episode of a weekly children's show featuring "Farfour", a Mickey Mouse lookalike who had made worldwide headlines for preaching Islamic domination and armed struggle to Palestinian children.
In the final episode of Tomorrow's Pioneers, 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 teenage 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 global attention because the character urged Palestinian children to fight Israel.
In previous shows, Farfour extolled the "virtues" of world domination by Islamists, chanting in one episode, "we will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, liberate Iraq, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers".
He also taught his young audience about "the oppressive Zionist occupation", which all children must "resist".
Al-Aqsa officials said yesterday that Farfour was taken off the air to make room for new programmes. However, the station manager, Mohammed Bilal, said he did not know yet what would be shown.
Israeli officials have denounced Tomorrow's Pioneers as incendiary and outrageous. The programme was also opposed by the state-run Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation, which is controlled by Fatah, Hamas's rival party.
Disney expressed concern at the show, but unusually for the normally litigious corporation, took no further action.

Basic back story is this Palestinian show used a ripped off Mickey Mouse design in it. The show was mainly preaching violence and hatred, and Disney got real pissy about the studio using the plagarized character design of Mickey Mouse, especially in the manner is was being used.
Still, looking at all of this, what gets me is that even when it's a Palestinian cartoon, they still can't fight the Israelis and win... |
