Meet Farfur, the Palestinian Brainwashing Mouse, from the Unhappiest Place on Earth

I wish this were fake.

From YouTube:

I don't care how anti-Israel you are, this is some pretty sick shit.

AP -


"You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists," the cartoon character squeaked on a recent episode of the show, which is titled, "Tomorrow's Pioneers."

"We will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, God willing, liberate Iraq, God willing, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers."

Children call in to the show, many singing Hamas anthems about fighting Israel.


News articles about Farfur: Here, here, and here.

------------------------

Update: 3:00 PM - I have seen a few reports that the translation might be fake. I'd be a bit surprised since the AP broke the story, but anything is possible. Has anyone else heard anything?

I speak Arabic, and it pains me to say the translations were pretty accurate, except a line or two. But the message is just as vile and creepy in Arabic.

Yeah. One of the things that upsets me about America's view of the Israel/Palestine conflict is that people assume that it is as simple as either "Israeli Apartheid" or "Palestinian Terrorism." Having been to Israel, I can safely say that it is probably more complex than anything that has occurred in the Iraq war. On the one hand you have the Palestinians, a people who were exiled from their home to create a state for a religion that their own religion despises. They are run by a known terrorist group, and thanks to having no money or access to media, the people there have no knowledge of diplomacy. On the other hand you have Israel - a country that lives in fear of the Palestinians because nearly every day there are extremists blowing themselves up in the middle of Ben Yehuda market street, killing children. Their army is made up solely of their youth - every recent high school graduate, men and women - and their country is surrounded by other countries that also want to see them destroyed. So they, even with their greater access to education and media, elect officials who can keep them safe from suicide bombers. But these safe officials make stupid decisions, which get the Palestinian's angrier at Israel, and Israel more fearful. Both liberals and Conservatives look for someone to blame, but in many ways it is neither of their fault.

And the worst part is that both of them have only really been around for 60 years, yet we judge them as if they have existed for well over 500. If we look at what America did in 60 years, we look at a violent, sad history as well.

Blah.

I agree completely, especially with your last point that we tend to judge them as if they've been around forever. We cannot claim to have the answers in a conflict such as this one, we can only try to find them as solutions become clearer. Nation building is a long process, one which will not end anytime soon for the Palestinians. However, over the last decade or so the conception of a two state solution has become clearer, and we should expect it to change as the circumstances surrounding them do. Over the past 60 years however, as a result of the continuous state of war experienced my most Arab countries towards Israel, and the hateful propaganda these Arab regimes used to gain support for the wars have evolved into very real feelings of Antisemitism. This, to me, is one of the greatest challenges my generation faces in correcting the mistakes of our past. But this is an Arab problem, to which there needs to be an Arab solution. Garbage like this on our T.V channels should never be tolerate.
