Jew kills Mickey Mouse

The good news - Hamas children's TV has finally dispensed with Farfour, its Islamist Mickey Mouse.

The bad news - here's how they did it:

I see the end of the Hamas Brainwashing is over....uh ...no! It continues as they try to tell dumb western atheists that 'were ok, were fighting crime, ok every lives in fear, but were fighting crime' Dumb Dumb People. Hamas are as bad as the Nazis and Stalin combined (Just not as clever).

Danny, this is such old news. I have to say though, that in spite of that fact that it is, of course, terrible and is representative of something very, very disturbing, I find it hard not to laugh when I see it written about. The concept is just so bizarre.

Hamas, in all these years is the only Arab force to withstand relentless Israeli bombardment and in fact made the cocky PM look like a fool to many of his citizens. And still there is no trace of the captured soldiers, for whom the last war was started.
If the Hamas' media spin is not as sophisticated well, unlike the west, they are recent entrants on the field!

Haven't many of us wanted to do that to Mickey Mouse? The irony is that Walt was an anti-Semite himself.

Posted by: Frank Upton | 17 Aug 2007 17:12:52

Kartic, you're confusing Hamas with Hezbollah.

And you seem to have missed the key idea here - kidnapping and encouraging kids to blow themselves up on buses is, you know, bad?

This ones better though;

Borderline nursery ryhms, maybe?

And to think the UK banned 'Ba Ba Blacksheep' as not to offend!

Beautiful people.

" kidnapping and encouraging kids to blow themselves up on buses is, you know, bad?"

Hey, its ok if they only blow up Jews. Hey call us when they blow up you Gentiles. Oh, I forgot, 9/11, 7/11, NYC, Bali, Spain, London... how quickly we forget. Islam does NOT mean peace.

Posted by: JPeditor | 19 Aug 2007 03:17:46

It used to be that an anti-semite was someone who hated Jews. These days an anti-semite is someone who the Jews don't like!

The term anti-semite is irrelevant. All Middle Eastern Arabs are Semites whereas not all Jews are. Most Ashkenazi's are descendants of converts, unlike Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews.

Posted by: Farfour | 19 Aug 2007 21:48:16

Anti-semites like Hamas do hate Jews though don't they Farfour? It's not becaause they dislike Hamas, it's because Hamas is committed to driving them all into the sea.

Everyone knows what is meant by 'anti-semitic', even you, so don't quibble about semantics, address the issue. Isn't it a sick joke to make cartoon-style characters that glorify terrorism and show them to kids?

Posted by: Roo | 20 Aug 2007 12:34:45

Hamas and Middle Eastern Arabs are Semites too! Most people in the world don't hate Jews, just the racist, godless Zionists. In the same way we don't hate Iraqi's just Saddam, don't hate Germans just Hitler. If Jews have a right of return after 2500 years, so do Palestinians after 60 years. Remember, not 1 Palestinian ever emigrated to Palestine, how many Israeli's can say the same???

Posted by: Farfour | 20 Aug 2007 16:44:32

The indoctrination continues. Trying to brainwash children into believing that it is good to become a terrorist is a sign that they are running out of terrorists.
Unfortunately there is no heaven for terrorists only Farfour waiting on the other side with a pitch fork and some nice 'warm' weather.

Just like they did to Jesus. So sad. The Dessert Disney Land image is something I associate exclusively with Israel however. I don't see the future of some murdering rat with a work ethic as being all that bright.

Posted by: vampares | 23 Aug 2007 19:37:33

Israel has the world's media eating out of its hand, it is not the victim here, the Palestinians are the ones who are being murdered, imprisoned and tortured. The media is focusing on a mickey mouse story- who cares?, how about focusing on the victims of Israeli atocities for a change? Remember that Palestinian family blown up on the beach by the Israeli army? No, I think not.

Posted by: Farah | 24 Aug 2007 13:53:39

Islamism is the root of the evil in the Arab world and just like Mafia in Southern Italy, it won't go as long as locals don't stop backing them up against the State or in this case against Israel.

Jordan and Palestine will merge sooner or later in a properous country, and Islamists will go away!

How many Muslims died in Morocco, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan.... because of religious terrorism!

WHO CARES.

'Remember that Palestinian family blown up on the beach by the Israeli army? No, I think not.'

Farah you make a good point: It was discovered that in fact Israelis were not responsible for that family killed on the beach. Just the anti-semitic global press chose not to report that fact, as much as it chose to spread the lies that is was an Israeli attack.

Learn to see the truth, oh sorry you cant because you grew up being indocrinated.

And how can 3 million Jews be anything other than the Victim against the 1.5 billion islamic people screaming for their destruction.

Why don't you lot grow up and stop being a bunch of haters. Leave Israel alone and try to build a life of peace. Until you do, the children watching these television programs are doomed to narcisist hatred that means they can never be happy. Hamas are such animals that they betray their own children.

The interestign thing is that the 3 million Jews contribute more to science and win more nobel prises than the entire 1.5 billion of you haters combined.

Maybe stop trying to kill Jews and try learning from them as your Prophet did.

For those like Farfour too stupid to know, it was the Muslim world who first fired rockets on innocent Israeli children, and the Muslim world that calls for the destruction of the only democracy in the region. Islam preaches evil (who can forget the baby decked out in terrorist gear paraded for all to see.)As an ex Muslim who has now adopted Judaism as the one true faith, I can speak with authority on the indoctrination that goes on weekly in mosques. But I have been welcomed with love and compassion by the Jewish faith - something that would never happen the other way round

Posted by: Salim | 28 Aug 2007 11:10:01

Firstly, the death of Farfour is an old story, so why bring it up now?
Secondly, whilst a ridiculous TV mouse might indeed influence young children, perhaps the daily incursions, deprivations and arbitrary killings of civilians (including many children) and kidnappings/"arrests" by the IDF might also have some bearing on the minds of impressionable children.
If Danny wanted to reprise an old story, why not the killing of Iman Al-Hams (http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1358173,00.html), the family on the beach (http://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/06/13/isrlpa13544_txt.htm) or indeed a hundred more stories like these from both sides of the conflict - and it would do you good Danny to remember the other side.
If the point of this comment was the nature of indoctrination and more particularly recist indoctrination, perhaps Danny could review the numerous movies of Gollam & Globus who were such a feature of my youth and occasionally still make it onto TV today, despite their own racist overtones; and their more recent contemporaries .
Finally, leaving all the name calling aside, unless Israel talks with Hamas now without pre-conditions, it will be dealing with Al-Qaeda next and if those muppets ever get seriously into this conflict, their children's TV will give you something to really write about.

I love how she says that he was defending the land of his forefathers - how stupid. Does her branwashed mind not realise that if she was to go back far enough she would see that it was Israeli land long before Islam even existed.

In fact I'm sure if she traced her family tree back to before Islam existed (not that long ago) that she'd find that she probably has Jewish ancestors.

All that aside, this video is yet more proof of how sick and twisted Hamas and its followers really are.

Also I'd like to point out that other modern countries were part of the British Mandate of Palestine yet their citizens don't call themselves palestinian citizens.

Finally, the death of 'palestinains' at the hands of Israeli soldiers is unfortunate but not intentional. The Israeli army is only targeting (in self-defence) the terrorists that attack Israel. But sadly these terrorists cowardly hide amonmgst the innocent. It is time that 'palestinians' came to realise that the only reason Israel attacks is self-defence and that the blood of innocents is on the hands of terrorist organisations who hide in crowded civilian areas using innocent civilians as a human shield then using these deaths as an excuse to launch more attacks which lead to nothing but more death on both sides.

Children as blank sheets of paper primed and ready to receive propaganda, Hitler did this. To teach children to hate leads to suffering that will in turn cause those that hate to suffer.

I would ask that the Jewish and pro Zionist writers reduce their use of lies,and perhaps show a little humanity, lest they give the impression to gentiles that Jews tell lies, lack human feelings, never apologise and thus, exhibit psychopathic traits.
The facts are that Many Jews descend from Kazars- thus have no ancient connection with Palestine at all. Next: The original inhabitants were the Cananites, the Jews arrived from around Mesopotamia around 1100BC, they were later removed 586 BC when the Babylonians conquered the area.Cyrus the great the Persian (iran) emperor later allowed some Jews back when he defeated the Babylonians.
So the current Arabs- not the Jews, and especially not the Russian/ German invaders have the true entitlement. Just as White, English descendants- not Jews, have the entitlement to the English lands.
The Jews invented terrorism- the supremely cowardly terror bombing of the British in the King David hotel, etc etc.
John Pilger has described the Jews terror war against the Palestinian Arabs as 'The war against Children':
