Sunlight: A Great Disinfectant

You know, if the media would actually start reporting some of the real news in the Middle East, there's no telling how much better things would get. Just turning over the rock and exposing the jihadi Mouse character that Hamas was using to indoctrinate the Palestinian youth has caused the government to pull that show off the air. Funny how a little sunlight works, isn't it?

A program using a Mickey Mouse-like character to urge Palestinian children to fight Israel and the West and work for world Islamic domination has been pulled off Hamas's television station for "review," Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti said Wednesday.

Barghouti said the use of the cartoon character in such a role represented a "mistaken approach" to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.

Barghouti wrote that following a request from his ministry, the program was pulled from the Hamas-affiliated Al Aksa TV and "placed under review."

In the statement, Barghouti said his ministry "would continue to ensure freedom of expression and freedom of the press, but that media outlets breaking the law would be penalized."

Barghouti complained that the Mickey Mouse story continued to receive attention by "some American television stations" after it was resolved, and that media did not broadcast video of Israeli human rights violations supplied by his ministry in recent weeks.

Aw, shucks. You mean you don't like the world seeing what a sick operation you're running over there? What a surprise. More sunlight, please.
