Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' wants Islam takeover

By DIAA HADID, Associated Press Writer


Tue May 8, 4:59 PM ET

Hamas militants have enlisted the iconic Mickey Mouse to broadcast their message of Islamic dominion and armed resistance to their most impressionable audience — little kids.
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."
The television station would not comment.
A spokeswoman from Walt Disney Co.'s headquarters in Burbank, Calif., did not immediately return messages asking for comment about the use of a Disney-like character.
Yehia Moussa, a Hamas leader in the movement's Gaza Strip base, denied inciting children against Jews. "Our problem is not with the Jews. Our problem is with the (Israeli) occupation and the occupiers," Moussa said.
Israeli officials denounced the program. David Baker, an official in Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office, said, "There is nothing comic about inciting young generations of Palestinians to hate Israelis."
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev called the program "outrageous" and charged that the Palestinians have not carried out their commitments to stop incitement of hatred toward Israel. "Children are taught that killing Jews is a good thing," he said. "Children are taught to hate Jews and to hate nonbelievers."
In strife-ridden Gaza, however, dreams of Islamic dominion and animosity toward the U.S. and Israel are widespread.
A Gaza-based psychologist said the program proved that the culture of glorifying violence had penetrated Palestinian society.
"It's the fault of both (Israel and the Palestinians)," said Samir Zakkout, from the Gaza Community Mental Health Program. "If Palestinians had peace, children wouldn't learn violence."
Children have been traumatized by bloodshed in the course of Israeli attacks and Palestinian infighting, he said.
"There's been a collapse of values," he said. "If I can kill my enemy, I can kill my brother."
Basem Abu Sumaya, head of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corp., said such programming was inappropriate.
"I don't think it's professional or even humane to use children in such harsh political programs," Abu Sumaya said. "Children's nationalist spirit must be developed differently."
The Palestinian Broadcasting Corp. is controlled by Hamas' political rival, the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas..
Hamas loyalists launched the Al Aqsa satellite channel last year. Bearded young men read the news, often offering live news broadcasts. Islamic music is layered over footage of masked militants firing rockets into Israel. But the channel also broadcasts talk shows, programs about the disabled and cartoons.
Hamas loyalists also run at least five news Web sites, one newspaper — launched just last week — and a radio station.

Wonder what they'll use Goofy for?

[00accord44]

Goofy is the Enforcer, he'll oversee the torture of POWs. Donald Duck is the kamikaze pilot...

[eversio11]

It's no different than the US using the real Mickey Mouse to control kids in their country.

Militant 'Mickey Mouse' pulled off air

By MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH, Associated Press Writer


Wed May 9, 8:46 PM ET

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Hamas militants have suspended a TV program that featured a Mickey Mouse lookalike urging Palestinian children to fight Israel and work for global Islamic domination, the Palestinian information minister said Wednesday.

Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti said the character — a giant black-and-white rodent with a high-pitched voice — represented a "mistaken approach" to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.
He said that the program was pulled from Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV at his ministry's request and "placed under review."
The character, named "Farfour," or "butterfly," but unmistakably a copy of the Disney character, preached against the U.S. and Israel each Friday on the show called "Tomorrow's Pioneers."
"You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists," Farfour squeaked on a recent episode. "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 called in to the show, many singing Hamas anthems about fighting Israel.
A spokeswoman for Burbank, Calif.-based Walt Disney Co. did not return phone calls seeking comment, and the Gaza TV station had no comment.
The program was opposed by the Palestinian Broadcasting Corp., which is controlled by the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a Hamas rival that shares power with the militants in the Palestinian government.
Barghouti is an independent aligned with neither Hamas nor Fatah.
Loyalists of Hamas, which is sworn to the destruction of Israel, launched the Al Aqsa satellite channel last year. Bearded young men read the news and Islamic music is layered over footage of masked militants firing rockets into Israel. The channel also broadcasts talk shows, programs about the disabled and cartoons.
Hamas loyalists also run at least five news Web sites, a newspaper and a radio station.

Seems appropriate, given that Walt Disney was anti-semetic.

For all I know he could have been, but do you have any credible sources for that?

Amusing. You admit that you don't know either way, but you expect me to verify the information for you. Furthermore, you expect the verification to be 'credible'.

You are sitting in front of a machine that will give you a wealth of information and opinion on the subject.

Results 1 - 10 of about 37,800 for "walt disney" "anti semitic". (0.11 seconds)

http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta=

Credibility is in the eye of the beholder, but 37,800 hits on such a very specific set of search terms should yield you at least one set of information that meets your criteria. I suggest that you go away and read, and don't respond any further to my comments until you at least have an idea of your own whether the information that I have offered is, in your words 'credible.'

I thought Walt Disney being anti-semetic was an urban legend or speculative annecdotal rumors with no real proof. Supposedly he had a nice porno collection though.

The Disney hierarchy for over 20 years was or is Jewish. Michael Eisner took over Disney in 1984 until Robert (Bob) Iger took over in 2005. Both of these guys are Jewish. Michael Eisner is a nice guy. I met him at the Disney Burbank Studios back in 1997 after the company I used to work for sold him a couple millions dollars worth of security equipment.


Check this out.

Here is an amazing YouTube video that defies belief. It is of an Iranian professor giving a lecture to students on the hidden meaning of the Tom and Jerry cartoons.

Not only does the sheer idiocy of his premise fair take your breath away, but all the statements of fact underlying his idiotic premise are dead wrong.

He makes the case that the Tom and Jerry cartoons were made by the Jewish Walt Disney.

First, the Tom and Jerry cartoons were made by William Hanna & Joseph Barbera (Hanna Barbera), both good catholic boys.

BTW - I bet Taranaki has never been to Disneyland or Disney World.

He wasn't at all. Walt Disney loved and cared about almost all the peoples of the world but he did get in trouble for his short "Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors".

Large portions of the internet disagree with you. From his Wikipedia entry......
After the 1941 strike of Disney Studio employees, Walt Disney deeply distrusted organized labor. In 1947, during the early years of the Cold War,[4] he testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he branded Herbert Sorrell, David Hilberman and William Pomerance, former animators and labor union organizers, as Communist agitators. (All three men denied the allegations.) Disney implicated the Screen Actors Guild as a Communist front, and charged that the 1941 strike was part of an organized Communist effort to gain influence in Hollywood. However, no evidence has been discovered to support this.

The man was not only anti-Jewish, he hated his staff enough to testify falsely against them for daring to strike.

Walt disney, the notorious anti-semite who founded the company died in 1966,and would obviously have had no say in the appointment of either of the men mentioned. In fact, neither of them were employees in Walt's lifetime.

ah, yes, Wikipedia:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17740041/

............................ Wikipedia is a marvel of Web innovation and utility, but the incident in Waters’ class, added to several celebrated controversies in which entries for famous people were found to be false, raises a troubling question: Just how accurate is Wikipedia, and can you trust what it tells you?
For Middlebury College’s history department, the answer is plain: Not totally, and not always. The department banned students from using it as a source in their papers, although they are allowed to consult it for background material, a move that was quickly mimicked by professors at other schools, including UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania.
Harnessing the wisdom of the masses
Wikipedia is different from traditional encyclopedias in one crucial respect. Instead of seeking out recognized authorities in hundreds or thousands of fields to write its articles, it lets anybody — everybody — write them. And it also lets anybody edit nearly all of them at will. ........................

.........................But as controversies have grown, Wikipedia has had to fight to uphold its reputation. One way it now does so is by acknowledging its shortcomings.
“Reaching neutrality is occasionally made harder by extreme-viewpoint contributors,” it says, and it warns that “Wikipedia makes no guarantee of validity.”
“Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information,” it says in a general disclaimer..............................

....................................The conclusion is that users who rely on Wikipedia are running a risk. And for students whose research will be graded by real, honest-to-goodness experts in the classroom, that is probably too big a risk, said Sree Srinivasan, a journalism professor at Columbia University and visiting professor of new media at the Poynter Institute, a journalism education organization.
“We need to teach our students that, basically, information on Wikipedia can be updated very easily,” Srinivasan stressed.
On that point, even Wikipedia agrees.

The ban at Middlebury College “is a great idea,” said Jim Redmond, a Wikipedia administrator and editor. “Students shouldn’t even be tempted to use Wikipedia as an original source.”

How do we know 'naki didn't edit it himself, to support his condemnation of good ole Walt?

Wikipedia? Come on everyone knows it is a bad reference to attempt to prove your point and anyone can edit it to say what they want but it does not mean it is the truth. However, I agree the annecdotal stuff on the Internet makes you wonder about him but I don't think that is stopping people worldwide from going to Disney World, Disneyland or watch their movies. He lives on in death regardless of how you feel about him.

Of course Walt Disney had no say considering we all know he died in 1966 and the eventual takeover of Disney was most likely a hostile takeover. But nonetheless it is now perceived as a Jewish owned company in the Middle East so go figure. For example even the Iranians as seen by this Scholar have that perception. See link below.

And Tom & Jerry wasn't even a Disney production. Must be something to do about mice. "The Jewish Walt Disney Company".
