One comment on YouTube about the Farfour clips:
"This is the kind of stuff you indoctrinate your kids with when you hate your enemies more than you love your children. Nice."
Anyway, the show has taken some heat (imagine that) for it's "unusual" methods. Here's how they wrapped it up after getting pulled: He gets beaten to death by a thug from Israel for not surrendering the Palestinian homeland while childen watch the horror unfold on their TVs. Personally, I think Farfour was assassinated by Disney copyright lawyers posing as Israelis. Either way it's a good chance he's getting killed by a Jewish guy.
According to wikipedia, this isn't new:
"The use of cartoon-like mascots to promote violence on Palestinian television is not unprecedented. Other Palestinian children's programs have used the Mickey Mouse image to incite radical activities. A 1998 episode of the program The Children's Club on official Palestinian Authority television had a "Mickey Mouse"-type figure amidst children praising suicide attacks against Israelis."
Yeah, it's violent and full of bloodlust, and really sad that the kids are being brainwashed into hatred. That said, before we turn our rightous indignation to 11, let's remember we were pretty good at this game too:
Is there a difference between Farfour and Daffy Duck? I'm not sure. Seems to depend on what side you're on.
