Al Jazeera tries to whitewash "Khaybar" - but the incitement still shines through

It looks like the criticism of the antisemitism in the upcoming Khaybar miniseries is causing Arab media to step back a little and pretend that it is not really meant to incite.

Al Jazeera has a feature story on the series  that says

The screenwriter deals with the Jewish community, like any other society in which there is both good and evil, so you will find scenes with the finest Jewish personalities and others that are sinister who allied with the hypocrites who are in Yathrib...

But, in the end, the incitement is there:

[Khaybar] illustrates the objective reasons which caused Muslims to eliminate the Jews of Khaybar, which objectively can be applied to what is happening now in the Arab arena with regard to the Palestinian issue and other problems experienced by the Arab nation.
Meaning, just like the Muslims had good reason to wipe out the Jews of Khaybar...

Still no word from HRW or Amnesty addressing the Arab and Muslim antisemitic incitement in Khaybar, or any other media, as we approach 1500 signatures on our petition.
