No, it's not who you think it is. This is lovable Farfur, who was a regular on Al-Aqsa TV for the children's show Tomorrow's Pioneers. Farfur sang, danced, taught kids their letters and numbers, and regularly denounced Israel and called for violent jihad and martyrdom.Disney objected (for obvious reasons).
Israel objected (for obvious reasons).
Fatah objected (their rivals, Hamas, ran the station).
Until today, when Farfur himself was martyred.
Yes, kiddie shows have changed a lot since the last time I watched Romper Room. Farfur was "killed by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy Farfur's land. At one point, the mouse called the Israeli a "terrorist."
Ouch.
That's certainly one way to go out on a high note.
