Pionieri di domani è programma televisivo per bambini in onda dal 13 aprile 2007 su Al-Aqsa TV, la televisione ufficiale di Hamas in Palestina. Il programma è divenuto famoso dopo che Palestinian Media Watch, un'organizzazione che dal 1996 monitora i media ed i libri di testo in arabo, ha osservato che Farfur (o Farfour, "farfalla" in arabo) uno dei protagonisti della trasmissione molto simile a Topolino, oltre ad invitare i bambini a pregare e bere latte, affermava la supremazia dell'Islam, chiedeva di detestare Israele e Stati Uniti ed indottrinava i piccoli telespettatori con lezioni sulla resistenza della Jihad.[1][2] Da quel momento Farfur è stato sostituito da un'ape.
Funzionari israeliani hanno denunciato il programma come deviante ed oltraggioso mentre altri critici (ad es. l'Anti-Defamation League) affermano che promuove antiamericanismo ed antisemitismo.[3]
Il produttore dello show ha risposto che il programma parla "dei bambini palestinesi che esprimono i loro sentimenti su quello che vedono."[4] Contro il programma si è però espressa anche la Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation controllata da Fatah.[5]

After Farfour was killed by an Israeli, his cousin Nahoul took on his relative's path of martyrdom. When introduced on Friday, July 13, 2007, he promised "revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets," continuing the work "of the Jihad warriors".[6]
Nahoul is a puppet suspended above the set, as opposed to a costumed character.

Saraa is a young girl, who wears a hijab.
The main character, Farfur (which translates into "butterfly"[2], or rather a diminuative of fi'r, mouse in Arabic), is a costume character mouse with a high-pitched voice. The Western media has pointed to Farfur as a blatant copy of a decades-old, American-created cartoon character Mickey Mouse.[7]
On the show, Farfur has stated such things as: "You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists" and "We will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, God willing, liberate Iraq, God willing, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers."[7][8] He has also encouraged children to use an AK-47 and grenades on Israelis and Americans.[3] He simulates shooting the AK-47 and throwing the grenades.[2]
In an episode aired June 29, 2007, Farfur is beaten to death by an Israeli who was trying to buy his land. Farfur calls the Israeli a "terrorist."[9]
The use of cartoon-like mascots to promote violence on Palestinian television is not unprecedented. Other Palestinian children's programs have used the Mickey Mouse image to incite radical activities. A 1998 episode of the program The Children's Club on official Palestinian Authority television had a "Mickey Mouse"-type figure amidst children praising suicide attacks against Israelis.[3]

After attracting international attention for its Mickey Mouse-lookalike, Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouti stated it was a "mistaken approach" and that the program was pulled from Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV and placed under review at his ministry’s request.[20]
Al-Aqsa TV board chairman Fathi Hamad replied that the station will neither pull the program, nor change the subject matter. "This campaign of criticism is part of a plan orchestrated by the West and the occupying power to attack Islam on the one hand and the Palestinian cause on the other."[21] An Al-Aqsa TV representative responded to Barghouti's statements, saying that the station will continue to air the show and that "Barghouti misunderstood the issue."[4]
73-year-old Diane Disney Miller, Mickey Mouse creator Walt Disney's last surviving child, commented to the press that, "What we're dealing with here is pure evil and you can't ignore that. It's not just Mickey," that she objects to, "it's indoctrinating children like this, teaching them to be evil. The world loves children, and this is just going against the grain of humanity."[22]
Several commentators, such as CNN's Arabic department, have pointed out translation errors in the transcript of the April 13 show (2007) provided by MEMRI. Brian Whitaker, the Middle East editor for the Guardian newspaper (UK), wrote in a blog for the newspaper that in the translation of the video, showing Farfur eliciting political comments from a young girl called "Sanabel", the MEMRI transcript misrepresents the segment, by attributing a sentence said by Farfur, ("I'll shoot"), to the child, and ignoring the child's statement ("I'm going to draw a picture").[23]
Whitaker further criticized MEMRI's translation. He and others contested that a statement uttered by the same child, ("We're going to [or want to] resist"), has been given a more aggressive interpretation by MEMRI as ("We want to fight"). Also, where MEMRI translates the girl as saying the highly controversial remark ("We will annihilate the Jews"), Whitaker and others, including Arabic speakers used by CNN, insist that based on careful listening to the low quality video clip, the girl is variously interpreted as saying, "The Jews will[are] shoot[ing at] us"[23] or "The Jews are killing us."[24]
MEMRI defends their translation of the show, Yigal Carmon, founder and President of MEMRI declared, "Yes, we stand by the translation by the very words, by the context, by the syntax, and every measure of the translation."[24]
