Iranian state television has broadcast a cartoon that glorifies suicide bombings against Israelis, depicting a young boy blowing himself up after being told: ‘Go and show the Zionists how brave and heroic are the children of Palestine.’ The cartoon, one of a series shown by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting on ‘Jerusalem Day’ nine days ago, is more professionally produced and graphic than previous Iranian propaganda aimed at children. The Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri), which translated the 10-minute animated film into English, said that the cartoon was one of 10 being translated. In another, Palestinian children throw aubergines at Israeli soldiers who think they are being attacked with grenades and flee.

A video clip of the cartoon can be viewed here, this is not Walther & Groomit! Link: Link
