Next Season on Tomorrow’s Pioneers

Just went you thought Farfur, the Hamas Mickey Mouse look-a-like, was safely dead Ha’aretz reports this:
A Hamas television station that last week killed off a Mickey Mouse look-alike who urged children to fight against Israel will use other famous characters to further their Islamist agenda, station officials said on Monday.

The host of the children's show "Tomorrow's Pioneers," Farfur, dressed in a full-body suit to resemble the Walt Disney cartoon character. The character was beaten to death in the show's final episode last week by a character posing as an Israeli. Farfur and a female co-host instructed their young viewers on Hamas's militant brand of Muslim piety and urged children to support armed resistance against Israel.
So who will star next year – Bambi or Barney? Personally, I am pulling for Barney because that annoying purple dinosaur is next to impossible to kill.

I hope they don't use Barney, because then I might inadvertently cheer when they kill him.

Sing together now, you all know the tune:
I hate you,
You hate me,
We're a dysfunctional family.
We'll bash, and beat,
And throw him on the floor:
No more purple dinosaur!


I guess you're right; no matter how much we hate Barney, this just isn't the way...
