Fight of the Bumblebee

Farfour the Hamas mouse is dead. Long live Nahoul the anti-Israeli bumblebee!

Transcript, if you can't see the video:

Nahoul: I’m Nahoul, Farfour’s cousin.

Saraa: What do you want?

Nahoul: I want to continue the path of my cousin Farfour.

Saraa: How do you want to do this?

Nahoul: I want to be in every episode with you on the Pioneers of Tomorrow show, just like Farfour. I want to continue in the path of Farfour – the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, and of the mujahideen. Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour. We will take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the killer of the prophets and of the innocent children, until we liberate Al-Aqsa from their impurity. We place our trust in Allah.

Saraa: Welcome, Nahoul!

By the way, Nahoul is actually a Lebanese cartoon character whose existence predates this propaganda series. But I'm guessing his owners lack Disney's deep pockets.

They can't even animate original material. (see "Maia the bee") That, in itself, should be considered a crime against humanity. Nuk'em.

Nahoul the Antisemitic Bee just has a good ring to it

Has it occurred to the producers that

A) Only females hive bees work and fight?

B) When a bee stings, her stinger pulls out and she dies?

This Nahoul. will she be a suicide bumbler?

How can a bee and a mouse be cousins?

David, Aresen,

Science is against the teachings of the Quran (atleast the one Hamas reads)

All they can say is Nahoul's life is fairly plain. She likes watching the puddles gather rain...

My kid has the same giant foam-number puzzle they use as a backdrop on that show.

Not sure, but it's kind of like how in a lot of Middle Eastern propaganda they call the Israelis Nazis.

So far as I can tell, Middle Eastern culture is a bizarroland of blaming other people for your own problems, no matter how badly you have to twist your perception of reality to do so.

So we have a human grandfather who has a mouse and a bumblebee as grandchildren.

Damn those Israeli war criminals! Obviously they've been using mutagenic munitions on the Palestinians for decades!

This will not end well.

Israeli pesticides in 1..2..3..

La dee dee, one two three,
Nahoul the Muslim bee.
A B C D E F G,
Nahoul the Muslim bee.

Is this wretched Moorish bee,
Half-asleep upon my knee,
Some freak from a menagerie?
No! It's Nahoul the Muslim bee!

Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
Nahoul the Muslim bee.
Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
Nahoul the Muslim bee.

I love this hive employee
and anti-Semite, naturally.
One summer afternoon 'round three,
he became a suicide casualty.
