Terrorism and anti-Semitism: additional episodes of the anti-Semitic TV series The Diaspora, broadcast by al-Manar, the Hezbollah television station in Lebanon.
The episodes are full of classic anti-Semitic themes in the spirit of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and focus on the blood libel of the Jews who use the blood of Christian children to prepare Passover matzos as well as on the Jewish plot to
take over the world.
   
 
   
   

Syria (which produced the series The Diaspora) and Hezbollah (which broadcast it during the holy month of Ramadan) make an attempt to revive the ancient anti-Semitic blood libel:
Scenes follow from the episode dealing with killing a Christian child to use his blood in Passover matzos,
which was broadcast on al-Manar on November 19, 2003

The TV series al-Shatat (The Diaspora)
During the month of Ramadan (October-November, 2003) al-Manar, the Hezbollah television station in Lebanon, broadcast the anti-Semitic TV series al-Shatat (The Diaspora) on both its local and satellite stations. The series is a large-scale Syrian production and a great effort was made to complete by the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, when Moslem television viewing is at its peak. The series provides a pseudo-historical, distorted, fabricated, heavily anti-Semitic survey of the history of the Zionist movement from its beginnings in the 19 th century till the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Twenty-nine episodes were shown, the last one on November 27, 2003.
   
Additional examples of the series contents1

The fourth episode , which was broadcast on October 31, 2002, revolves around the Dreyfus affair as part of the activity of “the secret central government” which was established with the fall of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. That government, according to the episode, falsely interpreted the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) and used additions from the Talmud (a post-Biblical collection of Jewish laws and traditions) to justify its actions. At Dreyfus' trial the prosecutor claims that the Talmud teaches Jews to destroy the Christian world and to take it over by creating riots, inciting revolutions and fanning the flames of war between countries to destroy them so that the only country left on earth will be the “Jewish empire.”
