Hamas using Mickey Mouse clone to teach hate and Islamic supremacy

[BGonaSTICK]

Here's a very disturbing story about Mickey Mouse, an AK47 and Islamic world domination.

Why can't we all just live together in peace?

I personally don't have any problem in not being the supreme ruler of the known universe >

I suppose we could ignore it and hope it all goes away, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.

This is sickening. Lets give'em as state...

However, I remember some articles in Soviet newspapers that Tom & Jerry is teaching kids violence while Russian-made Wolf & Hare (prety much the same story, TBH) is an example of tolerance.

Hamas TV refuses to axe contested kids cartoon

A Hamas-run television channel has defied a Palestinian government request to axe a controversial children’s cartoon in which a Mickey Mouse lookalike urges resistance against Israel. A senior official working for Al-Aqsa (Jerusalem) television in the Gaza Strip told AFP that the programme - “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” - would air as normal this Friday in defiance of information minister Mustafa Barghuti.

”The programme will continue and it will be broadcast tomorrow at 4:00 pm (1300 UTC). Mustafa Barghuti misunderstood the issue,” said the official on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the press. Earlier, the information ministry in the West Bank city of Ramallah said: “A politically-oriented children’s television programme was withdrawn by the Al-Aqsa TV station today following a request by the ministry of information.” Barghuti said the programme adopted a “mistaken approach” to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation and that it was wrong to use children’s programmes to convey political messages.

In the programme, the Mickey Mouse lookalike named Farfur and a little girl urge resistance against Israel and the United States - along with stressing the importance of daily prayers and drinking milk. The programme drew strong protests from Israeli and Jewish groups, with the Anti-Defamation League slamming the station for promoting a message of radical Islam, anti-Semitism and hatred of the West.

“When you take a Mickey Mouse-like character and deliberately use it to promote an ideology of hatred, obviously it’s going to have an impact on children and their thinking,” said Abraham Foxman, ADL national director. ”For all of their attempts to appear more moderate, Hamas is still willing to indoctrinate children into their culture of hate,” added Foxman.

Hamas is the senior partner in the Palestinian national unity government and blacklisted as a terrorist organisation in the West. The Islamist movement controls a television and radio network both called Al-Aqsa and has just launched a newspaper.
