Last week, I was astounded to read the news that one of the most famous children cartoon character has been used as a propaganda tool citing violence. Mickey mouse look alike has been used by Hamas militant group to urge young Palestinian children to fight against Israel occupation. This Hamas version of Mickey Mouse is appearing as the star of a weekly children program, and can be seen across the Arab world.
How could they promote violence to young innocent children? Childhood is supposed to be a time when children are learning to shape their personalty in order to be a good member of the world society. I can’t understand any reasons to expose children to violence. The effect will be devastating in the future. Whoever does this has lost their conscience.

Yeah I agree…
This’s very sad as young innocent children should be learning somthing that help them growing up beautifully. Well some of them have no choice because they happen to be living in those country though… I feel sorry for them.

Maybe it’s possible to look at the use of MM in another way? Perhaps they are making a statement about violence inherent in American imperialism?
