Mickey Mouse for Islam

By Guy Rakover

Today I read an article that discussed a popular children’s program on the Hamas owned television station ‘Al Aqsa.” The program features a character similar in appearance to Mickey Mouse that performs for an audience of children. Some of his messages to the Palestinian and Arab youth in general throughout the Middle East are good advice: brush your teeth, drink milk, etc. However, along with this advice he teaches the children that they must destroy the evil Zionists and that Muslims must conquer the world.

This type of anti-Semitic propaganda is not a new phenomenon. There is clear evidence of such leading up to the holocaust in the form of children’s books and games depicting the Jew as “the evil poisonous mushroom” and so forth. I could go deeper in detail into the depth of this aspect of the Hamas Mickey, and many have written numerous research papers on the topic of anti-Semitic propaganda, however I would like to focus on something else that jumps to my attention.

It is a sad state of affairs when the nations of the world validate and support a regime that teaches war and hatred and perpetuates a state of anarchy for its citizens. The Palestinian Authority controlled overtly by the Hamas terrorist organization receives funding not only from enemy states such as Iran and Syria, but also from the so-called ”civilized” nations of the world. Even internal elements in our society force financial support to be given, only resulting in the perpetuation of this incubator of war and hate. And on the occasion where there is a clear image of perverted reality, such as Mickey Mouse teaching children to declare Jihad on the entire world, the international community ignores the symptoms.

One thing that we must get clear in our minds in order to insure our survival and to avoid tears within the nation is that the Palestinian Authority would like to see us all go away. They have built their society on hatred of Jews and the State and without that hatred those in charge have no power. Let the nations of the world battle with right and wrong and wander around in the gray, the Jewish nation will not and can’t afford to. We tear at each other while they rearm; we uproot our homes so that they can expand their base of terror. Before deciding the right course of action, we must at least see the truth for what it is: We are surrounded by breeding grounds of hate. The Arabs do not want peace with Israel. War is how their leaders got to power in the first place and hatred for the “Zionist Enemy” is what perpetuates their societies. The sooner we realize that the clearer our vision of reality will become.
