In November 99, Syria?s state-controlled media ran several stories with anti-Semitic themes. One such, in late November, regurgitated the blood libel, the claim that Jews use the blood of gentiles for their religious rituals, which was also the theme of a popular book by Syria?s defense minister, Mustafa Tlas (The Matzah of Zion, 1984). Two months later, in late January, 2000, an editorial in Syria?s leading newspaper, Tishreen, a mouthpiece for the Assad regime, focused on denial of the Holocaust while insisting that Israeli policies are worse than those of the Nazis. Why is Mitchell afraid to confront these Syrian Nazis? The Syrian Nazi country who gave refuge to the biggest Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner. And the Syrian lying country that spreads blood libels against Jews. How does Mitchell live with himself trying to give the Jewish Golan to these evil Arabs. http://www.memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=SD62303 December 8, 2003 Syrian-Produced Hizbullah TV Ramadan Series` Video Clip of a `Blood Libel` |
