Hamas muis Farfoer gedood door "Israëliër"

Farfoer Muis, die Palestijnse kinderen leert dat de islam zal zegevieren en haar vijanden moeten worden bestreden, is in de laatste uitzending door een Israëli gedood.

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.

Het zou mooi zijn als Palestijnse kinderen hier de onbedoelde les uit zouden leren dat, als je anderen met geweld bestrijdt, je zelf ook weleens het slachtoffer kunt worden, en Farfour als minder onschuldig zien dan Sara hem ziet. Dit is waarschijnlijk ijdele hoop, maar in het Midden-Oosten kun je niet zonder wat ijdele hoop op zijn tijd....

Hamas TV Mouse Killed By "Israeli"
In Kids Program, A Mickey Mouse Look-Alike Is Beaten To Death By Actor Posing As Israeli Official

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip, June 29, 2007
(AP) A Mickey Mouse look-alike 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.
