The entire Al Aqsa TV mouse calling on children to wage jihad is getting a good deal of press across the globe, and I suppose that’s a good thing. But where it’s not a good thing is when media outlets seem to think the opinions presented on the show are one of a kind. They are far from one of a kind. The only original item within the show ‘Tomorrow’s Pioneers’ is having a carbon copy of Mickey Mouse call on children to wage jihad and overtake the entire world.

I suppose it’s best to take the press while it’s available, and that means interviewing the daughter of the late Walt Disney.

Walt Disney’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, 73, attacked Hamas’s use of a Mickey Mouse-style character. “It’s indoctrinating children like this, teaching them to be evil,” she said.

“The world loves children and this is just going against the grain of humanity … What we’re dealing with here is pure evil and you can’t ignore that.”

Now I don’t expect Miss Miller to keep up on what is being aired on Al Aqsa TV or other similar networks (Hezbollah’s Al Manar included), however there should be some sort of beat writer out there who tracks this kind of information for numerous publications.

No, there shouldn’t be a beat writer zeroed in on television stations distributing hateful propaganda, but there are beat writers covering certain areas of the world. Why haven’t they put any of this new furor into the greater context that this sort of programming is hardly unique?

Even more telling is that the exact program now under scrutiny has been airing for one month and the Palestinian Authority didn’t demand its end until after the story garnered media attention. Hamas though says it won’t end the show, and why should they? The show does exactly what Hamas wants and, again, it’s not any different than other programs they produce aimed directly at children. Hamas knows that if they wish to continue to exist, there must be a new generation of jihadis who call out their line, and they’ve done everything they can think of to ensure that will be the case.

Elsewhere, the world is still under the grand delusion that Hamas might actually want a peaceful coexistence with not just Israel, but the entire non-Islamic world too. And they are fooling people apparently, evidenced by the outrage one show has caused when the other shows, statements and actions hardly cause any concern by those most bothered by hearing Hamas endorses a Mickey Mouse clone urging children to ‘resist.’
