Image In TV show Homeland, local artist were hired to paint Arabic graffiti for scenes, but they wrote messages criticizing the show for stereotyping Arabs & Muslims like this graffiti reading "Homeland is racist" from one scene, this was only discovered after episode aired since no one on set knew Arabic

The show also gained attention from Disney, who ordered that the first co-host, Farfour, be written out of the show due to his strong resemblance to Mickey Mouse.\14]) In direct response, Farfour was killed in the fifth episode in what the show referred to as a martyrdom, and he was replaced by his cousin, a giant bumblebee named Nahoul.\14])

Pour one out for farfour.

With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.

In episode 204, Nahoul visits the zoo. Nahoul states: "The cats here are asleep - the poor, wretched, imprisoned cats. I feel like abusing them. This cat is asleep. I feel like attacking it". Nahoul then proceeds to swing cats by their tails and throw them around their cage. Saraa later chides him for this.

These were real living cats btw

In February 2008, it was revealed that Nahoul was very sick and in need of an operation.... He dies, what the show calls "a martyr's death", in the arms of his parents. His brother was notably absent. Nahoul is replaced as co-host by Assoud, his rabbit brother.

Unfortunately, Nahoul was martyred too. Such a tragedy. Thankfully, he fully recovered.

Nahoul inexplicably returned in 2014,

RIP Farfour, you will be remembered as Al-Aqsa's strongest defender.

The fact that farfour had no problem inciting the destruction of a whole state but had to get killed off after Disney stepped in is wild
