MEMRI has a summary of discussions in the Arab press about Egypt’s broadcast of A Knight Without a Horse, the TV series based on anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. A few writers were critical of Egypt for the show; one of the critics makes an interesting (and highly plausible) charge:
“For months, people with awareness in Egypt have been talking about this project. Some say that the main support for Muhammad Subhi’s project came from Iraqi President Saddam Hussein personally - as if the damage he has caused the Arabs was not sufficient and he is now setting a trap for Egypt, its artists, and its reputation in the world…”
But most of the Arab press reacted more like this:
“Thomas Friedman, the Zionist agent with the Israeli identity and the American citizenship, continued his hostile, filthy attack against Egypt and on behalf of the goals of the aggressive Israel, with his condemnation, in a New York Times article, of Egyptian Television’s intent to air this series during the month of Ramadan. [He] claim[ed] that it focuses on a Zionist plot to take over Arab land -which is a fact. He attacked the program, but ignored the fact that at issue was scientific literature based on legitimate history. He continued by accusing the Egyptian leadership of disseminating hatred against the Jews… This despicable Friedman did not find a weapon to wave in the face of Egyptian and Arab thought except the weapon of extortion and terror based on the charge of antisemitism…”
Thomas Friedman, terrorist.
