(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.

beware anyone who attempts to destroy Israel. If Israel killed Farfour, the children of the Middle East should thank God that he can no longer spread such isalomfacist tyranny across the world in the name of God. He was ugly anyway. Had to go.

If we read scripture, then we'd also be aware that God Himself, rather routinely smites Israel and destroy hundreds of thousands.Why? Because they tend to be a recalcitrant people who are continually disobedient to God's will and God has to punish them. NO doubt, when they are in the wrong, should others turn to God and ask for his help in defeating them--God is not above using other nations to give Israel an azzwhupping. If you have not read things such as that happening in the bible, then you did not read very far at all.

Israel continually gets in trouble for being wicked--just like everyone else--the difference is, wicked though they can be, God still has chosen them, and He is not a man, that he should lie...but He has and will allow others to put a whuppin'on Israel when they go too far--(which means anyone who tries to ride their coattails is due for a whuppin' too, by default).

Do you know that our generals who study military strategy do not ever study Israeli military strategy. Primarily because the battles the Israelis win have no military logic. Seems to me that something of the divine intervenes there and I would ponder this point. The Farfours of the Middle East only mock Israel because they cannot defeat it. And while I wouldn't dare provoke anyone of you to check out scriptures, beware anyone who attempts to destroy Israel. If Israel killed Farfour, the children of the Middle East should thank God that he can no longer spread such isalomfacist tyranny across the world in the name of God. He was ugly anyway. Had to go.

"Hamas TV Mouse Killed By "Israeli""

LOL

I got a real chuckle out of that story.

What the Hamas maniac muslims don't realize is that the kind of brainwashing they are doing to those unfortunate children: Maniac mulsims, in the end, can expect to vanquished by the equally violence-loving Jews. LOL

Actually I think that the depiction of a Palestinian being killed by an Israeli for refusing to give up his land is a pretty accurate description of a scene that has been played out uncountable times in what was formerly their home.

The Truth about Islamic Crusades and Imperialism

Historical facts say that Islam has been imperialistic%u2014and would still like to be, if only for religious reasons. Many Muslim clerics, scholars, and activists, for example, would like to impose Islamic law around the world. Historical facts say that Islam, including Muhammad, launched their own Crusades against Christianity long before the European Crusades.

How is forcing Islamic rule at the end of a sword (via terrorism or any other violent means) different from the "crusades" that Islam decries? What Islam is doing IS a crusade, and this IS a religious war. How I loathe religion.

They should have finish off Farfour in the same way this Israeli soldier finished off a 13 year old Palestinian girl a couple of years ago: He shot her twice and when she was on the floor he emptied his machine gun in her guts.
Or how about have an Israeli sniper shooting through the window at Farfour and when Farfour leans to see if the sniper is gone he gets his brain blown off.
Or how about if Farfour is taken to jail and an Israeli soldier defecates in a plastic bag and then places the bag on top of Farfour's head until Farfour suffocates to death.
Or how about have Farfour try to cross an Israeli checkpoint with his mother and when the Israeli soldiers starts to bark orders at her Farfour tells them not to scream at his mother and gets shot dead by the Israeli soldiers right in front of her.
Or how about having Farfour picking olives from an olive tree in his farm and then gets shot dead by a Jewish settler from Chicago.
Or how about having Farfour and his entire family killed by a missile from an F-16.
Or how about have him crashed by a bulldozer as he tries to prevent it from demolishing his home.
