J-I-H, A-D-I, M-O-U-S-E
Hamas has decided to rip off the Disney Company and infringe on the trademark of that company's signature character, Mickey Mouse. Only this mouse is a wee bit different than the squeaky-voiced cartoon character. This squeaky-voiced jihadi Mouse preaches hate and murder.
A giant black-and-white rodent — named "Farfour," or "butterfly," but unmistakably a Mickey ripoff — does his high-pitched preaching against the U.S. and Israel on a children's show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas. The militant group, sworn to Israel's destruction, shares power in the Palestinian government.
"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.
An Israeli organization that monitors Palestinian media, Palestinian Media Watch, said the Mickey Mouse lookalike takes "every opportunity to indoctrinate young viewers with teachings of Islamic supremacy, hatred of Israel and the U.S., and support of 'resistance,' the Palestinian euphemism for terror."
Yeah, that generation of Palestinian kids will really be a laugh a minute when they grow up, won't they? "Hey kids, What time is it? Time to kill the joooos." That is a seriously sick culture.

Well, they’ve met their match now. From what I hear of Disney’s copyright lawyers, they make IDF look like… Huey, Dewey and Louie.

I miss Sayonara Mouse. Sort of a kindly caricature who abhorred violence but would, in extremis whip out the old judo. Lessons were learned and xenophobia was lessened, not bad for a cartoon short.
