BTW, those vids like with the murderous mickey mouse, I have to really question their authenticity. I have NO Idea how to translate that language and would trust them as nothing but a joke propaganda without somebody of credibility to truly say they were shown to kids and that is the translation. it's entirely possible it is, but I cannot believe a youtube and a trust from an unknown source as to the translation. Same with the Palestinian talking about human shields. How do we know that is real?
It's real and they've been around for a while. When the Palesinian Mickey Mouse stuff was first made public I was working for Disney's Imagineering division. I contacted the legal department to see if they were aware of it and they said it was the first they'd heard of it. I fired them off a link via e-mail. Within a couple of weeks it was reported that the Pals killed off Mickey Mouse and replaced it with a bee instead; a killer bee I suppose.
I don't know if pressure from Disney actually had anything to do with their character change, but the timing of it all was very suspicious.
