Hamas ‘Mickey Mouse’ wants Islam takeover
GAZA CITY: 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. A giant black-and-white rodent — named “Farfour,” or “butterfly,” but unmistakably a Mickey rip-off — does his high-pitched preaching against the US and Israel on a children’s show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas. “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”.“We will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, God willing, liberate Iraq, God willing, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers.” Children call in to the show, many singing Hamas anthems about fighting Israel. Israel has long complained that the Palestinian airwaves are filled with incitement. The television station would not comment.Yehia Moussa, a Hamas leader in the movement’s Gaza Strip base, denied inciting children against Jews. ap
