Children Drive Cruel Israeli Soldiers Away Using Eggplant Grenades in an Iranian Animated Movie

Following are excerpts from an Iranian animated movie titled "The Grenade", which was aired on IRIB 1 on October 28, 2005.

Muezzin: Allah Akbar.

Muslims pray in the mosque, while Israeli soldiers advance towards a Palestinian village, where some children are playing. Soldiers break into houses, open fire on the villagers, and throw tear-gas grenades, while children resist with sling-shots and stones. Some villagers are dragged away, beaten, captured, and mistreated. Barbed wire goes up around the village.

A small boy, seeing the soldiers' grenades, has an idea: the grenades resemble eggplants. He gathers a group of children, who pick eggplants, and hang them on their belts. They charge at the soldiers, hurling the eggplants at them, and the soldiers throw down their guns and flee.

The villagers hold the soldiers at gunpoint, and the children raise the captured guns in victory.

Villagers: Allah Akbar.
