Dr. Frank's What's-it

Look What's on the Telly

While Arab anti-semitism is no secret and comes as no real surprise, yet it still manages to express itself in astonishing forms. Earlier this year the Middle East Media Research Institute identified a widespread belief in the Arab world in age-old "blood libel" stories about ritual cannibalism by bloodthirsty Jews, quoting the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram:

The bestial drive to knead Passover matzah with the blood of non-Jews is [confirmed] in the records of the Palestinian police where there are many recorded cases of the bodies of Arab children who had disappeared being found, torn to pieces without a single drop of blood. The most reasonable explanation is that the blood was taken to be kneaded into the dough of extremist Jews to be used in matzahs to be devoured during Passover.

According to MEMRI, a book on the subject, The Matzah of Zion (written, incidentally, by the Syrian Defense Minister) will soon be made into a major motion picture, in order "to respond to all of the Zionist films distributed by the American film industry, which is backed by the Zionist propaganda apparatus. Among these films is Schindler's List, which supports the idea of the Jews' right to the land of Palestine."

Now, today's "best of the web" provides another link to MEMRI, which is reporting on the imminent broadcast of a 30-part mini-series based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (!) The series appears to be a historical costume drama which, it is claimed, "courageously tackles the 24 Protocols of the Elders of Zion, revealing them and clarifying that they are the central line that still... dominates Israel's policy, political aspirations, and racism..."

That's entertainment...
