The fallout from the UAE/Israel deal reverberates every day in the larger Arab world, in surprising ways.
Jordanian media has been the most hostile to Jews. But this article, while it fully embraces antisemitic stereotypes, is more admiring of the supposed plots of Jews to take over the world than afraid.
Prof. Bilal Abu Al-Hoda Khamash, a frequent contributor to Alsaa.net, writes:
The events of history that took place in the past and are in the present and expected to happen in the future have proven that the Jews are the most capable nation for planning in the short and long terms, for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years since God created them and after the mission of our master Muhammad, peace be upon him.
It goes on to say that the Rothschilds were very shrewd in how they took over the world's financial system, how they used the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to achieve their power, and how Sheldon Adelson is their spiritual descendant in using his money to influence Donald Trump to have pro-Israel policies.
The [Rothschilds'] had strong will and unlimited patience to reach their goals set within their master plan and their sub-plans for the whole world. Intellectuals and informed people in the world still remember the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which they had planned for more than a hundred years with their successful organization and management. They were and still are distributing tasks to each member in the set plan according to his abilities and capabilities and not according to any other criteria, and they only reveal their secret to those who can keep the secret. They do not divulge it under any circumstances. By their will, confidentiality, and boundless patience, they picked, reaped, and would reap the fruits of their plans as planned.
These characteristics are characteristic of most, if not all, of the Jews in the world.
While Khamash still believes in antisemitic stereotypes, they have suddenly morphed from hate into admiration - sort of how many South Koreans look at Jews.
Again, while there have been articles in the past in Arabic media that were grudgingly admiring of Jews and trying to learn from them (often using Nobel Prize winners as a proxy for success,) there has been a significant change in recent weeks. And some of it is more antisemitic than beforehand as well, where people who disapprove of the UAE try to find religious based reasons to oppose it and invariably that goes back to Koranic views of Jews.
Things have been shaken up, and it is fascinating to watch.
