Saturday Cartoons, Hamas Style

Hamas Lion King cartoonFrom the same jolly Hamas folks who brought Palestinian children Farfur, the murderous mouse, comes another delightful production, this time aimed at indoctrinating Palestinian children against rival political group Fatah.

After having ripped off Mickey Mouse, Hamas has chosen a different Disney character for its children's propaganda, "The Lion King," creating a story in which a lion portraying Hamas, having killed and vanquished Israel sees his territory overrun with rats representing Fatah. He tolerates their destructive antics for a while but eventually rises up, killing them and driving the rest out of his land. Watch the video over at LGF.

I'm sure this is not the kind of Islamic culture you're going to see CNN reporting any time soon.
