The Muslim Brotherhood has been driven from power for now, but that doesn’t mean that everyone in the corridors of power in Egypt is now a Western-style pluralist “moderate.” This bizarre and ugly TV play gives full vent to Islamic antisemitism, abundantly (and risibly — I love the part where they start shouting “Long live Israel” in a patent imitation of Muslim hordes screaming “Allahu akbar”) expressing the Qur’anic view that the Jews are “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82).
“Antisemitic Egyptian Play on TV: Mossad Agents behind Arab Spring,” from MEMRI, n.d.:
A play titled “The Spy,” recently aired on the Egyptian Al-Hayat TV channel, displays antisemitic stereotypes and portrays Mossad officials preparing “for a huge operation of espionage and sowing disunity” which targets the entire Arab world.
Following are excerpts from the play, broadcast on January 31, 2014:
Mossad headquarters, Mossad officials listen to an Israeli child singing Umm Kulthum’s Enta Omri. All male Mossad officials are named Binyamin and listed here according to their seating from left to right.
All Mossad officials: How great…
Binyamin I: What’s wrong with you, Binyamin?
Binyamin V: Binyamin, why do you cry whenever you hear this song?
Binyamin III: To tell the truth, I don’t understand a word of the song.
Binyamin I: Ummu Kulthum’s song, Enta Omri, is very beautiful.
Binyamin II: Just beautiful?! That boy Elisha sings it better than Umm Kulthum herself.
Female Mossad official: Binyamin, do you think that the Egyptians stole this tune from us, or vice versa?
Binyamin III: They stole it from us, of course – just like they stole the pyramids and the Sphynx [sic].[…]
Note the projection. Islam, the last of the Abrahamic religions, appropriates Abraham himself as “not a Jew or Christian, but a Muslim” (Qur’an 3:67) and seizes the holy sites of both religions (cf. the Temple Mount and the Hagia Sophia). And now Egyptian TV depicts a Jew claiming the pyramids and Sphinx belonged to the Jews and were stolen by the Egyptians. (Jewish slaves may have helped construct them, in any case.)
Anyway, here comes more projection from adherents of a religion whose prophet is depicted in a hadith as saying: “I have been commanded to fight against people until they confess that there is no god but Allah and I am his messenger”:
Our perspective is a simple and humble one. All we want is to control the whole world. Long live Israel!
Mossad officials: Long live Israel!
Binyamin III: Long live Israel!
Mossad officials: Long live Israel!
[…]
Binyamin III: Long live Israel!
Mossad officials: Long live Israel!
Binyamin III: Long live Israel!
Mossad officials: Long live Israel!
All Mossad officials break out in dance to the tune of Hava Nagila
[…]
Binyamin III: Lady, take your son and go away. We are preparing for a huge operation of espionage and sowing disunity, and we don’t want anyone to know anything about it – not its target nor its location.
Mother of Ezra (a would-be Mossad operative): Where will it take place?
Binyamin III: In Egypt, God willing.
Ezra: And what is the target?
Binyamin III: The entire Arab world.
[…]
Binyamin IV: I don’t understand, Binyamin #5, how come you are accepting this boy back into the Mossad so easily.
Binyamin III: If we don’t, he will stand opposite the Mossad headquarters, and throw stones on us. He is mentally retarded.
Binyamin V: You’re right, but let’s focus on what’s important – today begins the most important of the Arab Spring revolutions.
Binyamin I: I’ve heard that it is still a demonstration. It hasn’t transformed into a revolution yet.
Binyamin III: That’s why we need to keep an eye on that demonstration.
Binyamin V: Eyes are a thing of the past. Today, we know what is going on from Facebook and Twitter.
Binyamin II: We know everything but the color of their underwear…
They all burst into laughter
Binyamin I: Would you believe that they still have signs on buildings: “Keep Away” and “No Photography”?
They all burst into laughter
Binyamin III: Google Earth gives us all the information we need.
[…]
Binyamin IV: The most important thing that we need to know is whether the demonstrations are taking place only in Tahrir Square, or in other places as well.
Binyamin II: Right now, they are only in Tahrir Square, but soon enough, they’ll spread all over. After all, the Egyptian people is demanding change…

The Jews are responsible for everything…they’re too communistic; too capitalistic; too austere; too epicurean and hedonistic; too clannish; too cosmopolitan; too ugly; too good-looking; too rustic; too elegant and suave; too cheap and stingy; too generous; too wimpy and passive; too warlike and aggressive…sigh.

PROJECTION: a defense mechanism in which an IMMATURE person unconsciously rejects his or her own unacceptable attributes by ascribing them to objects or persons in the outside world. For example, a person who is rude may accuse other people of being rude.
Muslims imitate Mohammed. Mohammed projected his pathological lying, plundering, dishonesty, tendency to break his promises and cheating onto OTHERS! Mohammed hated the Jews because they had an intellectual basis for showing him he was not a prophet. Mohammed had no answers but to be filled with rage and make ad hominem attacks on their character!
Muslims believe they should be like Mohammed whom they exalt unreasonably to divine status having superhuman, divine traits not ascribed in the Koran.
The Muslims who did this PROJECTION are psychologically IMMATURE and UNEVOLVED! But that is normative Islam.

Who are the GLOBAL CONQUEST SUPREMACISTS? JEWS? OR MUSLIMS?
Koran 61:9 He it is Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it VICTORIOUS over all religions (‘deen’=governance systems) even though the Mushrikûn (all disbelievers) hate (it).
“How can [a Muslim] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority to ‘others’] when he knows that his nation was created to stand at the CENTER OF LEADERSHIP, at the CENTER of HEGEMONY and RULE…? How can [he] possibly [accept humiliation and inferiority to ‘others’] when he knows that the [divine] RULE is that the ENTIRE EARTH MUST BE SUBJECT to the religion (‘deen’=system of governance) of Allah…?” – al-Qaida spokesperson Suleiman Abu Gheith
“Two-thirds (of Muslims) would even like to “unify all Islamic counties into a single Islamic state or caliphate.” – WorldPublicOpinion.org
Zaynab bint al Harith says
OK. We admit it. Big Mo was a Yiddo. We sent him unto the Araboosh in order to spread amongst them a religion so foul that eventually the whole world would unite to wipe them clean off the whiteboard of history.
Buraq says
The Jews behind the Arab Spring? Not only that, but the Jews invented Islam! Yes, it’s true! Look at all the Islamic countries in the world. They are poor, corrupt and at war with each other. The Jews cleverly engineered this fratricidal hatred to keep the Arabs on the back foot throughout history.
So, I beseech you, my Arab brothers, dump this false religion, Islam. It’s a Zionist trick. Return to your original religions, Christianity and Zoroastrism, or whatever. You’ll be a lot happier, believe me!
Naruq says
You sure it’s not Egypt’s version of a Monty Python skit?
Naruq says
Then again…the whole Islamic world and their actions appear to be a bad comedy skit…for real.
El Cid says
Are we missing something here? If this is satire, it’s pretty funny 😉
As the old Yiddish joke goes, its more fun to read the antisemitic newspaper because there the Jews are depicted as powerful rather than as victims.
CornHolio says
That’s the best Arabic-language play I’ve ever seen! No, really! I had no idea there was that level of quality coming out of that part of the world. Watch out, awards show competitors!
I like how they mocked the Israelis for naming so many people Binyamin. I mean, it’s so ridiculous to name so many boys with the same first name, isn’t it?
And I like how Mossad JUST wants to rule the “world”. Very fair and balanced. So many unreasonable people the Jews want to rule far more than “just the world”.
All in all. A wonderful play. Muhammad would have been proud, and Allah would have given them all respite till the day of judgment, He’d have been so happy.
Ruling the world. What a horrible goal, huh?
SaturnV says
Yes, this is ugly, antisemitic, and all too common in the arab world. But it’s also AWFUL. Who in their right mind would actually watch this drivel? Even if the content was fascinating, I would think you would have to strap people down and pin their eyes open to get them to watch it. And of course they do watch it in Egypt and elsewhere in the arab world, and they believe it. Scary.

Praise the Lord that one day, we believe soon, Israel shall be blessed with the arrival of The Messiah as He sets up His reign in Jerusalem over the whole world. Their Messiah is the Lord Jesus Christ, and all the world will be obliged to bow down before Him.

Egyptian television also had a documentary on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion — presenting it as historical fact. It would’ve been funny if it hadn’t been serious.
Philip says
Islam is the religion of the idiots for the idiots by an idiot
No1 says
I actually found it kind of funny. Really, you could have replaced Mossad with the CIA and the Israeli flag with the American, changed the dialogue slightly and it’d just be a reasonable spy comedy.
It beats “Sons of Apes and Pigs” anyway.

Egyptian TV play depicts Mossad agents scheming for world domination, engineering Arab Spring
………………………………….
Of course, when the Muslim Brotherhood was in ascendancy, it was claimed—as DEWDDS noted—that Israel and the Jews were trying to *stop* the “Arab Spring”..
I believe it’s clear—whenever anything perceived to be bad happens in Dar-al-Islam, it’s the fault of the perfidious Joooooooooos…and the new “moderate” Egyptian government is not in this regard much different from the MB.
And this happens all over the Muslim world. In her book “Infidel”, Muslim apostate Ayaan Hirsi Ali describes living in Saudi Arabia as a child.
Whenever *anything* went wrong—the pipes clogged, the car wouldn’t start, even one’s boss being cranky that day—it was all the fault of the Jews, who were regarded more as malicious Djinn than other human beings. No one she knew at that time had so much as seen a Jew. Antisemitic madness.
