    Brainwashing for children, Why not?

    http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=267405&GT1=7703

    GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- A Mickey Mouse lookalike who preached Islamic domination on a Hamas-affiliated children's television program was beaten to death in the show's final episode Friday.

    In the final skit, "Farfour" was killed by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy Farfour's land. At one point, the mouse called the Israeli a "terrorist."

    "Farfour was martyred while defending his land," said Sara, the teen presenter. He was killed "by the killers of children," she added.

    The weekly show, featuring a giant black-and-white rodent with a high-pitched voice, had attracted worldwide attention because the character urged Palestinian children to fight Israel. It was broadcast on Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV.

    Station officials said Friday that Farfour was taken off the air to make room for new programs. Station manager Mohammed Bilal said he did not know what would be shown instead.

    Israeli officials have denounced the program, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," as incendiary and outrageous. The program was also opposed by the state-run Palestinian Broadcasting Corp., which is controlled by Fatah, Hamas' rival.


    Bless their hearts.

    I'm not judging their religion, or culture or whatever. I'm judging them as sick individuals who screw with the heads of children for their disgusting motives.

    edit: read your post again, and judge you? wut?

    thats nice, but that didn't answer his question lol

    Bartlyby was asking whether or not the actor depicting this character was killed in real-life, or whether it was just the on-screen persona.

    And Bartlyby was implying it may be a stupid question to ask that, and wants you to think of the area this is taking place before calling him an idiot, lol

    That's not exactly the point of the article but... i don't think they killed him, as he seems to work for Hammas.
