GAZA, July 16 An actor dressed as a bee and suspended from the ceiling by a wire is the newest face of jihad in Gaza.
Nahoul the bee is a new character on "Pioneers of Tomorrow," a children's television show aired by a Hamas station, and urges youngsters to follow the path to martyrdom when they get older.
"I want to continue in the path of Farfour -- the path of Islam, of heroism, of martyrdom, and of the mujahideen," Nahoul declared in his debut on al-Aqsa Monday.
Farour would the show's old costumed character, a fellow dressed as a militant mouse who was "martyred" this month by an actor playing a treacherous Israeli official.
"Me and my friends will follow in the footsteps of Farfour," he told Saraa, the little girl who is the host of the show. "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."
The whacking of Farour and the introduction of Cousin Nahoul created quite a buzz in the Middle East as "Pioneers of Tomorrow" continues preaching the domination of Islam and aspirations of death to small kids.
