HAMAS-LED NETWORK REFUSES TO BAN 'PROPAGANDA' MOUSE

LATEST: A television network run by Palestinian terror group Hamas has refused to remove a children's program featuring a Mickey Mouse lookalike promoting Islamic domination. Walt Disney's daughter Diane Disney Miller attacked the Al Aqsa Television board for using the character to encourage children to fight against Israel and the U.S. Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti has warned that the show, entitled Tomorrow's Pioneers, threatens "the Palestinians' legitimate struggle against the (Israeli) occupation. I urged that Hamas suspend the programme and they have withdrawn it, because it was wrong to use a programme directed at children to convey political messages." But the network has vowed to continue to air the show. Al Aqsa chairman Fathi Hamad says, “Al Aqsa TV refuses this pressure and refuses to cull its programme or alter any of its content. This campaign of criticism is part of a plan orchestrated by the West and the occupying power to attack Islam on the one hand and the Palestinian cause on the other. We have our own ways to educate our children and any criticism of this approach is shocking interference in our internal affairs."
