A children’s program on Hamas television whose main character was “martyred” has continued the theme, with a discussion that includes a child’s statement, “we can all be sacrificed for the sake of the homeland.”
WND previously reported the Hamas’ Mickey Mouse lookalike character’s “martyrdom.”

Al-Aqsa TV, run by the Palestinian Territories ruling party Hamas, had featured a squeaky-voiced Mickey Mouse look-alike named Farfur in the weekly children’s program “Tomorrow’s Pioneers.”
In a show episode, the character was beaten to death, with a teen hostess confirming, “Farfur was martyred while defending his land.” She also said he died at the hands of the “killers of children.”
As a replacement, Hamas brought forward Nahoul, the bee, who now has continued the discussion of martyrdom.
In a clip captured and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Nahoul responds to a child’s request to “convey your holiday greetings on the Feast of the Sacrifice?”

“Who should I convey greetings to, Saraa? Should I convey greetings to my brother, who was martyred in the first Intifada, at the hands of the Zionist Jews? Should I convey greetings to my second brother, who are martyred in the second Intifada? Should I convey greetings to my wounded brother, to my aunt, who was martyred because of the siege, or to her orphans? Who is there for me to greet, Saraa. I won’t greet anyone. I am so sad, Saraa,” the character said.
“Don’t be sad, Nahoul. We can all be sacrificed for the sake of the homeland,” Saraa responds. “May Allah help you. All we can say is that we place our trust in Allah against the enemies.”
The discussion then continues with comments about the slaughter of a sheep and a calf.
The new character earlier had been highlighted by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israel-based monitor.
PMW reported the character said he wished to “continue the path of Farfur … the path of martyrdom, the path of the jihad warriors … and in his name we shall take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets. …”
Hamas, which won a majority in parliament in January 2006 elections, officially is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
As WND reported in March, an online forum tied to the website of Hamas posted a photo of a little girl in a combat vest and the head band of the terrorist Al-Qassam Brigades.
“Have you seen the new child martyr who will soon shake Israel [to the core]?” says the caption, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute blog

The message that accompanied the photo on the Shabakat Falastin Lilhiwar online forum says the girl “is part of the Muslim generation which will go down in history [as a generation] … that refused to [accept] humiliation and defeat.”
As WND reported, Hamas launched a children’s website in 2002, encouraging kids to follow the example of terrorist suicide bombers.
