Not only is Ramadan apparently a good time for some to launch renewed sucide attacks, it also seems to be a good time to show anti-semitic TV shows! Pull the shades, pop the popcorn, gather round the home entertainment system and turn on Hizbullah's satellite channel to watch the latest Syrian-produced entertainment program, 'Diaspora' - yet another Arab TV program with a basis in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Ocean Guy points to the MEMRI item:
Following these two announcements, the series begins. The first scene, set in Frankfurt in 1812, shows the death of Amschel, the patriarch of the Rothschild family. Amschel Rothschild lies on his deathbed in what appears to be a cave illuminated by candles in Jewish candelabra. He instructs his "illegitimate" son to summon his four brothers, and when he leaves to call them, the following narration is heard: "Kill the best of the non-Jews, destroy their religion, annihilate their lands. Israel will not survive if the foreign peoples survive, the Jews are the offspring of God like the child is the offspring of his father. As man has hegemony [over the lower animals], thus the Jews are superior to all the peoples of the world, because the seed of strangers is like the seed of the ass. The delivering Messiah will not come until the peoples that are not Jews are extinct and control will be in the hands of the Jews alone."[...]
Just another sad episode from a sick society worth nothing more than to be ignored? Norman Cohn called his definitive book on the Protocols, Warrant for Genocide...and with good reason. Episodes like this, coming from nations like Syria - still one of the backbones of the Arab world, and in position to do great harm or great good, just scream out to be paid attention to. The trouble is, the world outside of a certain section of politically aware people is largely still sleeping.
