Some examples of the word "Jew" in Arabic media Sunday

Al Wafd links to a video of an interview with an Egyptian socialist leader who says that Egypt had been controlled by a tripartite threat: the Muslim Brotherhood, the Americans and the Zionist Jews.

Al Anba, in an article on Internet safety for children, mentions in passing that some Internet pages are from the enemies of Islam, namely the Jews, Christians and others.

Al Manara Link says:
One reason for the strength of the Jews and their success is because they possess money. They say, "The primary way to control the world is gold and the second way is the media," and they really are sincere about it. Money and the media are very important, and the media is what connects your voice to others; and Jews own money and the media.

Al Quds has a long article about the Jerusalem Festival of Lights. After being upset that many Arabs actually enjoyed the displays, the author goes into a crazed theory about why Jews specifically used the idea of light, bringing proofs from the Hebrew scripture and Jewish customs about the importance and symbolism of light. For reasons I couldn't fathom the article segued into the episode of David and Batsheva (Bathsheba) apparently making it sound like Jews fabricate stories about great prophets to make them look bad.

This is pretty much how Jews are discussed every day in Arabic media.
