From
Arutz-7:
A pro-Israel blogger has initiated a petition urging human rights groups to condemn an anti-Semitic mini-series due to air throughout the Arab world in July.
The Elder of Ziyon pro-Israel blogger delivered the petition to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International urging them to condemn the “Khaybar” mini-series, set to air during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“The show will be on when most Egyptian families are staying at home for Ramadan doing nothing but watching TV,” Mina Rezkalla, a U.S.-based Egyptian activist told The Wall Street Journal. “The goal is completely outward anti-Semitism.”
The petition has already acquired over 1200 signatures from 47 countries [actually, nearly 1400 - EoZ].
The human rights groups “have publicly stated that anti-Semitism is a human rights issue, yet they have not once condemned the endemic and virulent Arab anti-Semitism that is seen daily by millions in the Arab media,” the petition states.
“However, the writer and director of the series make no secret of the fact that the point of the series is to demonize Jews from the time of Moses to today,” the petition continues. “In other words, the series is meant to incite Arabs to hate Jews. This is a quintessentially human rights issue and it is outrageous that Human Rights Watch and Amnesty have ignored this, as well as many other anti-Semitic broadcasts in Arabic-language media.
“Their condemnation can show the Arab broadcasters that such hatred is not acceptable and that Arab nations must be held to the same human rights standards as every other nation on Earth,” the petition adds.
Ramadan starts around July 7. According to one
Arabic film site, "Khaybar" will start airing on July 15.
Amnesty and HRW have so far still ignored the tweets, emails and
petition.
Here are some screen shots from recent Arabic news
stories of the
series:

| This appears to be a Jew (in a tallit) about to behead someone. |

| Plotting their schemes, always with the menorah behind them |

| A scene in a synagogue, again men all wearing Tallitot (and another menorah in the back) |
