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.
