Well this is certainly an interesting dénouement to the story of Farfour, a character on a Hamas television show who looks like Mickey Mouse and talks like Osama bin Laden. The show, "The Pioneers of Tomorrow," aired its last episode on Friday. Memri has the transcript; below is the video. In the scene below, Farfour's grandfather hands him a key and what is presumably a deed to the family's former land in Israel. The mouse is caught and interrogated. When Farfour refuses to give up the documents, his interrogator beats him to death.
