This weekend’s episodes bring the Arab viewers the first readings
from the “actual texts” of the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”.
These readings from the “Protocols” present the Jews as scheming to
destabilize the world, by promoting ethnic, religious and national
conflict, throughout the world, both internally within groups and vis
a vis their neighbor states. These worldwide conflicts the Jews
initiate will distract the non- Jewish world from trying to take
action against the Jews, according to the text of the “Protocols”.
It is important to note that this depiction of Jews as scheming to
cause unrest in the world is a frequent component of Palestinian and
Arab anti Semitism, even appearing in Arab education as character
traits of the Jews. For Example, the following appears in a Jordanian
and Palestinian schoolbook:
“Why do the Jews hate Muslim unity and want to cause division among
them? Give an example of the evil attempts of the Jews, from events
happening today.” [Islamic Education for Seventh Grade p.19, in use
at least through the year 2000.]
Another Arab libel, similar to the “Protocols” libel, appearing in an
11th grade schoolbook, is the fabrication of a fictitious, racist
quote, that the Arab schoolbooks falsely claim is from the Talmud.
This fictitious quote, appearing in Jordanian and PA schoolbooks,
likewise accuses the Jews of planning to destabilize the world for
their own gain. The following is the fabrication of the
racist “Talmudic quote”: “It is mentioned in the Talmud: “We [the
Jews] are God’s people on earth…We must marry our beautiful daughters
with kings, ministers and lords and enter our sons into the various
religions, thus, we will have the final word in managing the
countries. We should cheat them [the non-Jews] and arouse quarrels
among them, then they fight each other… Non Jews are pigs who God
created in the shape of man in order that they be fit for service for
the Jews...”
[The Contemporary History of the Arabs and the World, p.120, in use
at least through 2001]
In addition the weekend chapters continue the libel that Zionism
follows the plot laid out in the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
Summary of Chapters 18- 19 November 23-24, 2002
The Jews continue to seek Hafez´s copy of the "Protocols" not knowing
he has already started translating it.
Hafez to his friends [after reading a letter]:
“This letter is very important. The situation in Palestine has become
worse. The Jewish immigration, land purchases, and homesteading are
frightening. A Zionist organization, led by Arthur Rupin, built a
neighborhood in Jaffa for Jews only, called Tel Aviv.”
His friend: “We cannot ignore this. We should connect this with what
we translated from the book about Zion.”
Hafez: “Yes. It is important to translate the rest of the book ...”
The translated text of the "Protocols" is read by Galila to Hammed,
Hafez’ blind relative:
[From the "text" of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion":]
“We have spread the seeds of conflict between men in all fields of
life: personal and national, by spreading religious and tribal
fanaticism, dispute and conflict among the faithful of the same
religion."
“We will increase ethnic chauvinism. Governments will hesitate to
help their neighbors resist us, since each will be convinced that any
action against us will be disastrous for itself”.
Galila, horrified by the text of the Protocols, asks “What is this,
Sheikh Hammed? Those who wrote this must be insane. Who gave you this
paper?”
Hammed: "May Allah protect him and guide his steps, it was the Fox!"
