So funny and so sad:

"Farfour, the giant Mickey Mouse look-alike who was the host of a Palestinian children's program on Hamas-affiliated television and drew international ire for what critics saw as incitement, has died a "martyr's death" at the hands of a fictional Israeli.

The TV character had caused a furor with his calls for armed resistance against Israel and for Islamic supremacy since the program went on the air in mid-April.

In the final episode of the program Friday, "Tomorrow's Pioneers," Farfour's grandfather, a Palestinian refugee, entrusted him with the deeds and a key for property abandoned by the family when Israel became a state and Palestinians fled or were chased out. After leaving his grandfather, "Jews" went after Farfour and asked him to hand over the deeds and the key. When he refused, he was beaten to death."

This is kind of like when Mr. Rogers was evicted because he couldn't pay the rent after his factory job was outsourced. Mr. Gonzalez, a hard-working, visa-less Mexican moved in. He didn't speak much English so he mainly filled air time by drinking tequila and shooting off fireworks.
