Jordanian paper says Shakespeare's Shylock the perfect representation of a Jew

An article by Dr. Azh Ahmed Heikal in Al Wafd starts with Shakespearean antisemitism and then goes downhill from there.

The Shylock character in «The Merchant of Venice» by William Shakespeare is the finest embodiment of the Jewish character, which reflects his greed and hatred and desire for bloody revenge better than any other...

The famous comedy shows how Europe dealt with the Jews until they reached Hitler's alleged Holocaust in World War II but there was a [real] Holocaust when global Zionism united in the land of Palestine, claiming it was the Promised Land. Zionism managed to penetrate the world economy and media in European countries, in the US and through US policies in banks and the stock exchange and satellite channels owned by the largest Zionist families who act like Shylock to cut the flesh of innocent people and shed blood, a triumphant and euphoric endeavor under the glare of all international and global organizations that have passed laws to prevent and punish anyone who dares to refute the Holocaust deny it as if it was a holy book. There is woe and punishment, war and imprisonment for anyone thinking anything bad or rude in words or hints of any Shylock or any Jewish Zionist from near or far ...

As the Holocaust was a gateway to more blood on the land of the Arabs, the Charlie incident will be an excuse to Western intervention in the Arab world after the Arab Spring has failed and the growing influence and power of religious militias, which appeared even give Israel the political justification and legal cover in the creation of the Jewish religious state in the occupied Arab Jerusalem under international cover...

This is only a sample. But even this doesn't go quite as far as Palestinian Arab Hisham Munawar in Al Quds, who goes through an elaborate conspiracy theory that Israel was behind the terror attacks in France to begin with.

As usual, the enlightened Western intelligentsia is silent about the unbridled antisemitism and incitement that comes out of the Arab world, incitement that directly leads to murders of Jews in Paris and Toulouse and elsewhere. It is how Arabs are expected to act, and they happily live up to those expectations.

A few years ago the Arab world was a little embarrassed to be publicly antisemitic, even in Arabic. They paid lip service to pretending that they hated only Zionists, not Jews, in their media.

Those days are long gone, and that is partially because "human rights" groups don't give a damn about real antisemitism and incitement that results in the slaughter of Jews.

But if you can find any condemnation by Amnesty and Human Rights Watch of Arab antisemitic incitement, by all means, share it with me.
