A giant black-and-white rodent - named Farfour or butterfly, but unmistakably a Mickey ripoff - does his high-pitched preaching against the US and Israel on a children's show run each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas.
The show is hosted by a young girl. During a phone in Children as young as 11 ring in and swear they will never surrender and sing songs about showing their 'resistance' with AK-47s.
An Israeli organization that monitors Palestinian media, Palestinian Media Watch, said the Mickey Mouse lookalike takes 'every opportunity to indoctrinate young viewers with teachings of Islamic supremacy, hatred of Israel and the US, and support of 'resistance', the Palestinian euphemism for terror.'
A Gaza-based psychologist said the program proved that the culture of glorifying violence had penetrated Palestinian society.
Samir Zakkout, from the Gaza Community Mental Health Program said: 'If Palestinians had peace, children wouldn't learn violence.'
