| Disney condemns Hamas over TV show |
| 2007-05-09 |
| The only surviving child of Walt Disney has called Hamas "pure evil" for turning Mickey Mouse into a propaganda tool for hate. Diane Disney Miller said she was disgusted that a rip-off of the loveable cartoon character was being used on a new Hamas TV show to encourage Palestinian children to take up arms against Israel and America. Ms Miller, 73, said it went "against the grain of humanity". She told the New York Daily News: "Of course I feel personal about Mickey Mouse, but it could be Barney as well. "It's not just Mickey, it's indoctrinating children like this, teaching them to be evil. "The world loves children and this is just going against the grain of humanity." Hamas's Al-Aqsa TV station started running the children's series, called Tomorrow's Pioneers, last month. It features the life-size lookalike of Mickey Mouse called Farfur, who sings about youngsters arming themselves with AK-47s and striving for world domination "under Islamic leadership". Ms Miller said: "What we're dealing with here is pure evil and you can't ignore that." Farfur also tells children to pray and drink their milk. |

| #10 Ah, just provide Hamas with "proof" that Mickey's Jewish. They'll get rid of Farfur real quick! |

| #9 Some of the stories here make it clear that the Acme Corporation provides the Palestinian's weaponry. |

| #7 It'd be nice to see Hamas pay out the nose for this crap. Doesn't matter how many dollars it cost them. They'd just print some more. |

| #6 I expect Hamas has some assets here or elsewhere that the court can seize. I wasn't exactly expecting them to cut a check. |

| #2 I certainly hope Disney has their lawyers looking at some kind of copyright or trademark infringement suit. It'd be nice to see Hamas pay out the nose for this crap. |

| #1 It needs a Loony Tunes invasion. Bugs would be a good start. So would the RoadRunner. Hamas Mickey tricked to run in front of a D-9 dozer by the RoadRunner Hamas Mickey falls into a tunnel near the Gaza strip where Bugs tricks him down alternate tunnels until he falls into hell. |
