Antisemitic Iranian Film ‘Saturday Hunter’ Aired By Iranian TV – MEMRI

In November 2011, MEMRI published a report about the Iranian antisemitic film Saturday Hunter, which was first screened at a Tehran film festival and then in Iranian movie theaters, and was posted on the Internet that month. The film’s plot centers around Zionist Rabbi Hanan, an Orthodox Jew who takes it upon himself to teach his grandson Benjamin to create a war machine to destroy all the nations. His little grandson Benjamin becomes the fearless warrior that his grandfather wishes
