Mickey Hamas Club

Mickey Mouse was too cute and cuddly for the local market. So Palestinians have updated that rodent to fit with the program of killing Jews and whatnot:


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.

Their club song is rather catchy, of course:


Who's the leader of the club
That's made for killing Jews?
M-I-C-K-E-Y H-A-M-A-S!

Hey, there! Hi, there! Ho, there!
You're as Moslem as can be!
M-I-C-K-E-Y H-A-M-A-S

Mickey Hamas! Don't You Duck!
Mickey Hamas! Don't You Duck!
Forever let us hold our scimitars high!
High! High! High!

Come along and kill a Jew
And join the Caliphate
M-I-C-K-E-Y H-A-M-A-S

(softly)
Now's the time to say goodbye
To all the infidels
Through the years will be the Ummah
Wherever we may be
M-I-C-K-E-Y H-A-M-A-S
Mickey Hamas, Mickey Hamas
Forever let us hold our banner high
M-I-C - Convert ya real soon!
K-E-Y - Why? Because otherwise we'll kill you!
H-A-M-A-S!!


The Mickey Hamas Club. (with apologies) Wonderful. Lovely decade we're having, eh? I don't even want to see their version of Annette.

Though with jihadis having figured out the Great Tom and Jerry Zionist plot, Farfour might want to watch where he steps.

Islam is not our enemy, but the jihadis make it hard to advocate for this view sometimes.

UPDATE: Mickey Hamas has been cancelled:
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."

Also cancelled were "Scooby Jew" and "Winnie the Jew."

On Thursday, the chairman of the Al-Aqsa board, Fathi Hamad, refused to bow to pressure to cull the programme or to doctor its content, slamming an Israeli and Western plan "to attack Islam and the Palestinian cause".
I guess it wasn't a mistaken approach by the people who count.
