Meet Farfour’s Cousin
By Michael Weiss / July 18, 2007
After Hamas's Mickey Mouse knock-off got knocked-off by an Israeli settler, the question on everyone's lips was: Who'll replace Farfour? Proving that biology is not a clerical fascist party's strong suit, Hamas has now introduced Nahoul the Bee — a cousin of Farfour. A mouse. Enjoy, boys and girls.

While the kid may be scared, and the bee may appear like Cinecitta prop, I think the fact that it looked like it was hanging was more than low-level disturbing, particularly since we can presume that Nahoul, like Farfour, is not destined for the happiest of endings. As for his even shoddier craftsmanship, maybe the mouse looked too much like a Western mouse, and the bee is trying to appear more authentically Palestianian?
The kid looks pretty freaked out by the bee, too. Maybe because it's wearing lipstick and mascara… A possible indicator of its being a Fatah infiltrator? Has anyone seen or heard from Suha Arafat in a while?
There was something very disturbing about the string (I realize in the grand scheme of that was going on in the video clip, this is on the low end of disturbing) that made it look like the bee was hanging from a hastily crafted children's gallow.
If only Hamas would use this voice actor as a muezzin in a minaret, I guarantee that the Jews would be forced to flea Israel post-haste.
Though there is this…if Jews and other non-believers are apes and pigs, why is it ok to be rodents and insects? Further, I think this is building specie-supremacy…clearly PETA needs to be informed.
That holds him up? And there simply must be some theological no-no about djinns possessing animals and granting them the gift of fey speech.
I mean, I realize that asking for high production values from Al Aqsa TV may be asking a lot, but really….couldn't they at least have done a different  voice for the bee?
