News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Hamas is looking for a new well-known cartoon figure to use in its anti-Israel propaganda, according to Reuters.  Producers at Hamas’s Al-Aksa television have announced that a famous Mickey Mouse look-alike known as Farfur will be replaced by other famous characters.

Farfur appeared on a show called “Tomorrow’s Pioneers,” which called on young children to fight Israel.  The show promoted Islamic supremacy, and encouraged children to carry out suicide bombings.  The show ended last week with Farfur being beaten to death by an Israeli official.  The show’s child co-host, Sara’a, reported that Farfur was killed “by the killers of children.”
