More in The ShmoozeThe latest victim of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an oversized tuxedo-wearing mouse whose favorite pastimes included teaching basic reading, playing with his friends and trying to bring about a worldwide Islamist revolution.
Farfur, the creepy Mickey Mouse look-alike that is the star of the Palestinian children’s program “Tomorrow’s Pioneers,” was killed off during the show’s final episode, broadcast last Friday. The squeaky-voiced mouse was shown being interrogated by an actor playing an Israeli investigator. The investigator demands Farfur hand over the deed to his land. “No! We will not sell our lands to terrorists!” Farfur declares before the Israeli beats him to death.
According to the organization Palestinian Media Watch, the Palestinian channel al-Aqsa finally chose to cancel the program in response to an international outcry that erupted when translated clips of the show began appearing in May. Among the show’s many critics was Diane Disney Miller, the only surviving daughter of Walt Disney. She called Farfur “pure evil.”
In May, Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti demanded the show’s cancellation, but al-Aqsa TV, which is affiliated with Hamas, refused to comply until now.
Clips of some of Farfur’s most infamous moments are available on the popular video Web site YouTube. In many of the scenes, he incites violence against Jews and advocates the creation of a worldwide Islamist state based out of “all of Palestine.” He also encourages children to call in and sing violent songs about the destruction of Israel. In one of the strangest clips, Farfur is caught cheating on a test and claims he only did so because “the Jews destroyed our home.”
But the creators of “Tomorrow’s Pioneers” saved some of the most disturbing material for the series finale. Toward the end of the episode, Saraa, the young hijab-clad hostess of the show, declares: “Yes, our children friends, we lost our dearest friend, Farfur. Farfur turned into a martyr while protecting his land. He turned into a martyr at the hands of the criminals, and murderers.”
All this begs the question: Do martyred mice go to heaven?

As to the question of, "Do martyred mice go to heaven?", indeed it is every mouses supreme desire to be with 21 vermin.
Well perhaps Farfur can switch over to Arutz 7, having been axed on Palestinian TV!
Stupid!!!! Arab mentality!!
What bothers me is that the Disney Corporation did not bring a copyright infringement action in Federal Court. This is one time that lawyers looking for a buck would be justified in making one!
Jacob Victor brought truth to light with his well-informing article, and he kept his good humor, ending with a punchline question that made me giggle.
Yes, martyred mice ought to go to heaven; but, 'martyred' mice, on the other hand, should not. This leads to the question: was Farfur really a victim?
Diane Disney Miller gave the program a just rating, with her oxymoron of choice: "pure evil."

I saw the Farfur video on Arutz 7's website. On one hand it was laughable on the other the hallmark of tragedy. I thought the Little Moppet's eulogy to the late mouse was far more evil than Farfur himself. It is sad that the Palestinians feel so desperate that all they have left is hate and equally distressing that we don't see this as Jews.
It seems as if the producers of "Tomorrow's Pioneers" can't tell the difference between a mouse and a rat. I'm less concerned with Farfur's heavenly afterlife than I am with his future effect on the youngsters who have been exposed to the propaganda and filthy disease of an infected rat. My guess is that we have not seen the end of Farfur in this life. Unfortunately we have already endured the results of such propaganda

It's a shame that this type of evil behavior from the "religion of peace" does not surprise anyone anymore. It's time for everyone in the West to listen and take seriously what these evil Arabs are saying and what they intend to do. Giving them land will not achieve peace but only fuel their aggression and be seen as weakness. Their hatred has nothing to do with land. It also has nothing to due with poverty (notice all the doctors involved in England and Glasgow). They have taken Islam back to the 7th century and are focused on world domination. They are repulsed by the Godless liberalism, deviancy, and perversion of the West. The ironic thing is that the liberals who make the most excuses for these terrorists would be the first to be killed by them. Liberals who care so much about gay and women's rights should be the loudest voices against them. That's why these Nazi-like Islamic fascists commit terrorist attacks across the globe that have nothing to do with Israel. If God forbid Israel ceased to exist they would continue their attacks. They are involved in virtually every conflict across the globe. They can not live peacefully with their neighbors and are completely intolerant of other religions. They have bred hatred into the hearts of their children and are ruining what little chance for peace there is with the next generation. The Arabs aren't interested in peace because they are immersed in a culture of death. It's 1939 all over again and we better act sooner rather then later. Hopefully the Israelis will come to their senses and get rid of that foolish and weak liberal Olmert.
And Jacob, if G-d is just, the mouse will go to hell and boil in pig's blood with the rest of his terrorist friends.
