It's On America's Tortured Brow That Mickey Mouse Has Grown Up a Cow

Looks like the Palestinian entertainment czar didn't wish upon the right star.

A program using a Mickey Mouse-like character to urge Palestinian children to fight Israel and the West and work for world Islamic domination has been pulled off Hamas's television station for "review," Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti said Wednesday.

Barghouti said the use of the cartoon character in such a role represented a "mistaken approach" to the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation.

Barghouti wrote that following a request from his ministry, the program was pulled from the Hamas-affiliated Al Aksa TV and "placed under review."

And the man is worried that worldwide media attention put his efforts in the wrong light.

Barghouti complained that the Mickey Mouse story continued to receive attention by "some American television stations" after it was resolved, and that media did not broadcast video of Israeli human rights violations supplied by his ministry in recent weeks.

When Israeli turns Sebastian the Crab into a spokesman for Kadima, then we'll broadcast that video.

So no one has to wonder about the headline…
