How Hamas brainwash children to become jihadis: Terrorists teach Gazan kids how to shoot guns, launch anti-tank missiles and stage suicide attacks against Israel at summer camps - after indoctrinating them with anti-Semitic Mickey Mouse knock-off

For months, the Palestinian children of the Gaza Strip would tune in to watch an adult in a knockoff Mickey Mouse costume blame Jewish people for the misery and sins of the world. 

Farfour the Mouse, a costumed character with an eerie, high-pitched voice who captured the attention of children, was broadcast on Al-Aqsa, the Hamas-run TV channel at the centre of the terror group's propaganda operation. 

The channel is currently directed by Fathi Hammad, a former interior minister for the Hamas government in Gaza who, in 2016, was designated a terrorist by the US for his role as Al-Aqsa's chief. 

The US described the TV channel as a ' primary Hamas media outlet with programs designed to recruit children to become Hamas armed fighters and suicide bombers upon reaching adulthood.'

Hammad said at the time he was proud of being called a terrorist by the US, telling the Washington Post at the time: ' The decision only makes me more confident about my path. The threat of killing or arrest? It doesn't freak me out, not at all. I am looking forward to it.' 

Between April and June 2007, Farfour was a mainstay on 'The Pioneers of Tomorrow', a children's programme that has a similar style to Sesame Street, but with a shocking layer of anti-Semitism that was designed to radicalise Gazan children.

Farfour would often take part in violent and anti-Semitic activities. In one 'sketch', he was caught copying off a fellow student in a classroom. Asked why he cheated, he said: 'It was against my will, because the Jews destroyed our home and I couldn't find my notebooks.'

Another clip shows Farfour telling Palestinian children about Islamic domination. 

He says in the clip: 'We, tomorrow's pioneers, will restore to this nation its glory, and we will liberate Al-Aqsa and Iraq with Allah's will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers.' 

Farfour's time in Gazan TV was short lived, as in June 2007, he was killed off in a sketch. 

An Israel interrogator, sat across a desk from the knock-off mouse, tells him: 'Farfour, we want to buy the land. We will give you a lot of money.' 

'No, we don't sell our lands to terrorist,' he says while looking into the camera.

After denying the interrogator the right to buy 'his land' in the sketch, Farfour is seen being stabbed to death, before a child tells the audience: 'Farfour became a martyr while protecting his land.'

Farfour is just one of the many tools Al-Aqsa has used to radicalise Palestinian children over the years. 

The channel featured a series of music videos, one of which saw a four-year-old girl singing to her mother, who ends up killing four Israeli soldiers. 

Afterwards, the young girl holds an explosive, and sings to the camera: 'I am following mummy in her footsteps.'

But Hamas don't just use the airwaves to share anti-Semitic propaganda.

This summer, Hamas reopened its annual 'Shields of Jerusalem' summer camps, designed to incubate young children with ideas of radicalism, and armed struggle against the world at large. 

The camps, attended by children of all ages, give participants the opportunity to train with a variety of weapons, including AK-47s, sniper rifles, RPG launchers, mortars and machine guns. 

They are taught by members of Hamas' military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. 

Terrorists who carried out attacks against Israel are seen as role models, and their portraits be seen across camps, MEMRI reported. 

On top of this, Israeli flags are seen laying on the floor, so that Palestinian children attending these camps are constantly stepping on them in a subconscious act of defiance against the state. 

Israel launched an offensive campaign that has killed nearly 22,000 people, mostly women and children

The propaganda efforts helped fuel the unprecedented Black Saturday attack, in which Hamas fighters killed 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians. 

In response, Israel launched an offensive campaign that has killed nearly 22,000 people, mostly women and children. 

Despite the high death tolls, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said Israel displayed unparalleled 'morality' in the Gaza war and rejected South Africa's charge that it was committing 'genocidal' acts in the Palestinian territory.

'We will continue our defensive war, the justice and morality of which is without peer,' Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting in Tel Aviv.

His comment came after South Africa launched a case on Friday at the International Court of Justice against Israel for what it said were 'genocidal' acts in Gaza.

'No, South Africa, it is not we who have come to perpetrate genocide, it is Hamas,' Netanyahu said.

'It would murder all of us if it could. In contrast, the IDF is acting as morally as possible.'
