I have to admit that, like KN, I am not sure what is the newsworthiness of the efforts of a man who died 111 years ago and I don't recall too many headlines recently about textbooks.

However, if you'd like the educate us as to what you're referring to, that would be nice.

Behind the Headlines: Hamas’ Mickey Mouse teaches children to hate and kill

Epilogue: The death of Farfur - video June 29, 2007
View Farfur video clip - May 2007


It has recently come to light that Hamas Television is producing and broadcasting a children’s program, in which a Mickey Mouse look-alike character indoctrinates Palestinian children to violence, hatred and murder. Farfur, the costumed mouse, and his co-host, a young girl named Saraa', teach children about such things as the importance of the daily prayers and drinking milk, while taking every opportunity to indoctrinate young viewers with teachings of Islamic supremacy, hatred of Israel and the US and support of "resistance" - the Palestinian euphemism for terror.
