The Child and The Invader is an Iranian animated series aired on Sahar TV in 2008. It's a cartoon about A Palestinian child and an Israeli soldier, portraying how Zionists oppress Palestinians.
The Child and The Invader provides examples of:
- Amusing Injuries: The Invader gets this as a comeuppance for his behaviors against the two Palestinian children.
- Children Are Innocent: Since this is an anti-Zionist cartoon series, the Palestinian children are portrayed like that.
- Iris Out: As a part of Every Episode Ending, Either the child shrugging while his sister laughs or at the invader getting consequences, and playing the piano melody being played.
- Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: Yes, It's a cartoon with almost no dialogue, just like Oggy and the Cockroaches
- No Name Given: Neither the actual names of the Palestinian children nor the Israeli soldier were mentioned. That makes sense, because nobody talks in this cartoon, except They sometimes speak gibberish.
- Once an Episode: Every episode has the same plot but in different ways. Two children start doing something They like to do, and then the Invader shows up and proceeds to ruin it, often followed by his laugh, which mostly causes the little sister to cry and run away, and the brother getting angry, and then These two little kids usually plan to get revenge, and then the soldier shows up again, but this time, He gets amusingly injured, while the laugh track plays and the little girl starts laughing at him, sometimes with his brother, while He mostly shrugs at the screen.
- Parental Abandonment: We never found out about the parents of those Palestinian children. Perhaps, They either died (possibly killed by the Invader) or just left them.
- Sociopathic Soldier: Throughout the entire animated series, The [[Israeli soldier]] was portrayed this way.
- The Noun and the Noun: The Child and The Invader, Got it?
- Wartime Cartoon: Based on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
- Would Hurt a Child: That's really what The Invader mostly does, a reference to a belief made by most Anti-Zionists that Israeli soldiers kill Palestinian Children.
