Arabs make up a lot of fake Golda Meir quotes

Wednesday was the 125th anniversary of Golda Meir's birth.She was known for many memorable expressions, but the Arab world seems to prefer to make up their own.Egyptian newspaper El Balad attributes to Meir a series of quotations that are completely fictional. It doesn't look like they made these up - these fake quotes have been mentioned in Arabic language articles (and even...

On Tisha B'Av, a story of how Jews infighting in the seventh century has worldwide implications, today

When Mohammed was starting his new religion, the Arabian peninsula had many Jewish tribes. A 2012 Aish article by Sarah Yocheved Rigler explains:According to Dr. Hagai Mazuz, an Orientalist specializing in Arabic language, Islam, and Islamic culture, “The Jewish community of northern Arabia was one of the largest ancient Jewish communities in the history of the Jewish people.”They...

Iran isn't very subtle about its antisemitism by naming its missile "Khaybar-buster"

From the Washington Institute for Near East Policy:On February 9, just as the nuclear talks in Vienna reached a critical stage, Iran unveiled its “Khaybar Sheikan” (Khaybar Buster) missile, which has a purported range of 1,450 kilometers. This significant development demonstrates, more than anything, the increasing size and range of Iran’s slant-firing solid-motor missiles....

EoZ, StandWithUs Khaybar petitions delivered to Amnesty, HRW

Over the summer I blogged extensively about the antisemitic Arab TV series "Khaybar" that was being broadcast during Ramadan, and I created a petition for Amnesty and HRW to condemn Arab antisemitism. Yesterday and today, my petitions along with those from StandWithUs were delivered to AI and HRW. Here is the press release from StandWithUs: Delivery of petition to AI...

Khaybar: "Deception is the creed of the Jews, conspiracy their religion"

The antisemitic Khaybar series continues to air nightly throughout the Arab world. Here are some excerpts from MEMRI: Following are excerpts from three episodes of the antisemitic Arab TV series "Khaybar," which aired on Dubai TV on June 7, 10, and 18, 2013: Convention of Jewish leaders Jewish leader Sallam Ibn Abu Al-Huqayq: Under what pretext shall we fight [the Muslims] in order to finish them off?

Stand With Us creates a new petition against Khaybar

As an adjunct to the petition that I created to pressure human rights groups to condemn the antisemitic Ramadan TV series "Khaybar," Stand With Us created their own petition. Unlike the limited focus of my petition, the SWU petition is addressed to "key decision makers within the U.S. and foreign governments, ambassadors, human rights organizations, and international media." We,...

"Khaybar" antisemitic miniseries available on US DISH TV (UPDATE x2 - No it's not)

Dish-TV, a US-based satellite TV service, offers the Dubai Satellite Channel: This channel is showing the antisemitic miniseries, "Khaybar." So incitement against Jews is not only available in the Arab world - which is bad enough - but also in the US, as well as Europe. Not that "human rights organizations" care about the rights of Jews, as they have continuously refused...

"Khaybar" is a flop in the ratings

The number of articles in Arabic pushing "Khaybar" over the past couple of days made me wonder whether the producers were desperately trying to jack up the ratings of the expensive antisemitic series. The Wall Street Journal seems to say that the series is not doing well against its competition. And in a series/soap opera like this, if people don't watch from the beginning, they aren't likely to pick up on it in the middle. A traditional mainstay...

US envoy to OIC slams "Khaybar"

"Khaybar"-like antisemitic cartoon on PA TV (video)

Palestinian Authority TV has been showing a cartoon to kids on Ramadan that is thematically very similar to the antisemitic "Khaybar" series being broadcast to adults. In this case, instead of Khaybar, it shows how the Jews of Medina broke agreements with Muslims and tried to cause infighting among them. Again, the Jews are shown as deceitful, scheming and (in this case) in league with the Devil himself. From MEMRI: Following are excerpts from...

Antisemitic "Khaybar" series has begun broadcasting

The antisemitic miniseries Khaybar has begun its Ramadan broadcasts. Already the first episode is available in multiple sites, including YouTube. Apparently it was broadcast Wednesday night. I found episode 2 here; no doubt in a few hours it will be on YouTube as well. The synopsis of Episode 2 sounds nearly identical to recent Arabic articles about what is happening in Egypt. Jewish leaders of Khaybar ignite war between Arab tribes to weaken...

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...
