The following is a scene from the Syrian-produced TV series Al-Shatat. Al-Shatat was first aired on Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV during the month of Ramadan 2003, and then on two Iranian channels during Ramadan 2004. Al-Mamnou' TV, a new Jordanian channel, is airing Al-Shatat during Ramadan 2005.
In this scene, Jews in a Romaian ghetto murder a Christian child and use his blood to make Passover matzos.
Rabbi: We have a mission from the leadership, and we must carry it out quickly.
Nathan: What is it?
Rabbi: Listen. We want the blood of a Christian child before Passover, for the matzos. Don’t think too hard. Joseph, the son of Helen, your neighbor.
Nathan: Joseph? Why Joseph specifically?
Rabbi: I’ll explain it to you later. First do it.
Rabbi: Nathan is very late.
Speaker 3: True. I am beginning to worry.
Rabbi: If anyone suspects anything, we will abort the operation, and tell Nathan to say he brought Joseph here just for a walk.
Nathan: Hello.
Speaker 3: Hello. Did anyone see you?
Nathan: No.
Speaker 3: Are you sure?
Nathan: Of course.
Rabbi: Let’s start immediately.
Joseph: Nathan, I want to go home.
Nathan: Of course, my dear. We’ll go in a little bit.
Joseph: Nathan, where are you taking me?
Nathan: Don’t be afraid, Joseph. Don’t be afraid.
Joseph: Nathan, take me back!
Nathan: Don’t be afraid, my dear, don’t be afraid.
Joseph: Mama! Help me! Mama!
The Jews kill Joseph
Rabbi: Hello.
Non-religious Jew: Hello.
Rabbi: Good Passover.
Non-religious Jew: Good Passover to you too.
Rabbi: Isn't it a mistake to have Passover without inviting the Rabbi?
Non-religious Jew: Never mind, Rabbi. You know me. I'm not religious.
Rabbi: This is why I’m looking for you. I want to let you taste the holy Passover matzo. Then, maybe you will come back to your religion.
Non-religious Jew: No, thanks, I don't want to.
Rabbi: No, no. You must eat this, if not for my sake, for the sake of God.
Non-religious Jew: Thank you.
Rabbi: How is it? Tasty?
Non-religious Jew: Plain. Like all the matzos in the world.
Rabbi: No, make no mistake. This one is tastier and holier because it is kneaded with pure blood, the blood of Joseph.
