Palestinians Cancel 'Martyr Mouse' Kids Show

After an episode made global headlines earlier this week, the Palestinian government has shelved a Hamas-owned children's TV show starring a Mickey Mouse lookalike that urged Palestinian children to take up arms against America and Israel.

The show, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," aired in Gaza on Al-Aqsa TV station, which is owned by Hamas -- an Islamic militant group that controls the Palestinian government and has called for the destruction of Israel.

The show featured a host dressed in a giant black-and-white mouse costume with a striking resemblance to Walt Disney's iconic cartoon character, Mickey Mouse. Except this mouse, "Farfour," danced with an imaginary gun in his gloved hands and encouraged kids to drink milk, study hard -- and engage in violent acts of "resistance" against their Israeli neighbors and America.

Finally some sanity coming from the region. How the show got on TV in the first place is beyond me. It amazes me that hatred is so mainstream. It is accepted and taught. Basically it is expected. I understand, I really do, that the Palestinians have a legitimate beef against Israel. We don't need to get into an Israel bashing thread here, but let's face it, Israel has done some pretty shady things. The US, has done not much more than make a mess over in Iraq, and Afghanistan.
That being said, how anyone can "brainwash" CHILDREN with hatred and encourage them to commit "Terror" is so unhuman.
