Turkpress reports on other such series that include antisemitic tropes of Jews controlling the world's money - even as far back as the Crusades.
A Jewish character named Ephraim in a drama about Saladin,"Conqueror of Jerusalem," tries to establish a Jewish kingdom extending from the Nile to the Euphrates with Jerusalem as its capital. He uses the influence of money to control the Crusaders in Jerusalem, Ashkelon, and in Gaza, and clearly reveals the secret to his follower Simon by also showing him gold chests. He has great influence over the Crusader queen of Jerusalem and the Crusader leaders, who in real life murdered or tried to convert every Jews they came across.
In another series called "Barbaros Hayreddin," a woman named Luna is one of the Jewish merchants in Istanbul who has influence with Jewish families who form the backbone of the world’s financial world. She is one of the children of forty bankers in the world who control all the world's money, and are moved by the Jewish leaders or their supreme council to control the Christian West and end the Islamic Caliphate during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent.
The idea of Jews controlling the world's money by the Jews appeared in any other Turkish historical dramas. In "Ertugrul," they are Jewish merchants present throughout the Abbasid state, controlling some of the Caliphate palaces in the Levant, controlling the Muslim trade, and participating in schemes to overthrow major political leaders.
The article lists other series with the same theme.
Anyone who pretends that Turkey has no antisemitism is either ignorant or delusional.
