Welcome to Tomorrowland, Now Jew-Free
If you wanted to convince the youth of your nation to take up arms in the struggle for independence and the eradication of Jews, is there a better spokesperson than Mickey Mouse? Hamas doesn't think so, and has a children's show starring "Farfour," who sports a familiar look.
The Walt Disney Co. is not happy, but Walt probably isn't thawing himself over this.
As an aside, the SkyNews report about Disney Co.'s reaction closes with the best throwaway line ever:
Farfour also tells children to drink their milk and pray.
(Thanks, Bernardo!)
UPDATE: Hamas has agreed to temporarily shelve the program while it is "under review." Probably to focus on DVD sales.

Speaking of propaganda aimed at kids, Charles -- check this thing out. The last two frames (on the 6th page) are particularly mind boggling.

Nice find, Damian. As a Martian, I am deeply offended by that comic book.

You don't need to convince Palestinian youth to take up arms in the struggle to take their land back - Mickey Mouse or no Mickey Mouse. They've been suffering under Israel's criminal occupation for decades now, and that's all the convincing they need.
