Hamas TV sticks with "Jihad Mickey"

 

Earlier this week I
<file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Microsoft%20Shared/Stationery/nod
e/4699> blogged about "Tomorrow's Pioneers," a shocking children's show on
Hamas' al-Aqsa TV station in which a Mickey Mouse clone named "Butterfly"
teaches Palestinian youngsters how to be good Hamas members. At the time, it
seemed that Hamas had agreed to pull the show off the air following a global
cry of disgust and pressure from the more pragmatic Fatah and independent
factions of the Palestinian Authority.

That information was wrong; Hamas rejected the PA's intervention and
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/11/AR200705110

station manager Hazem al-Sharawi said:

We have an educational and entertainment message. It carries knowledge, a
sense of humor and morality. There is no shame in this, and we will not go
back on it."
