Ash-Shatat ( Arabic الشتات, DMG aš-Šatāt  'Diaspora'; also Al-Shatat ) is a 29-part Syrian TV series that was produced in 2003 by the private Syrian film company Linn and cost around $ 5.1 million. In terms of content, the series shows some parallels to the fictitious minutes of the Elders of Zion and makes use of anti-Semitic stereotypes and themes. Ash-Shatat depicts Jews who are jointly committed to a conspiracy to rule the world , and repeats ritual murder legends against Jews, for example through the detailed murder of Christian children and the use of their blood as an ingredient for matzo . It also shows the execution of a Jew who was sentenced to death by a " Talmudic court" for marrying a non-Jewish woman .

The script was written by Dr. Fathallah Omar, lecturer at Aleppo University . The Syrian historian Dr. Suheil Zakar was commissioned to check the series for "historical correctness". The show's creators have repeatedly advised audiences that everything they would see was truthful and that the series was in no way based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion . The deputy director of production for Lebanese broadcaster Al-Manar, Nasser Akhdar, told Al Jazeera : “This series presents nothing but the truth. It is based on over 250 sources by Jewish and Israeli authors and is in no way based on books by Arab and Muslim authors. The series has no connection with the so-called 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'. There are a large number of documents on which the series is based in an extremely objective way. "

At the beginning of each episode, a bibliographical list was shown to represent the supposed sources of the series. Listed there were the Torah , the Talmud , the Memoirs and Der Judenstaat by Theodor Herzl , the Jewish Encyclopedia , the Babylonian Talmud , The Zionist Idea by Arthur Hertzberg and The New Israelis by Yossi Melman .

content

In Ash-Shatat, Jews have sought control of the world through a secret global Jewish government for many centuries. This secret government has been led by the Rothschild family since the 19th century .

Under her leadership, the Jews were responsible for various decisive events of the 20th century: the Russo-Japanese War , the murder of Franz Ferdinand , the First and Second World Wars , the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the overthrow of the Ottoman sultan , the Russian Tsar and the resignation of British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith .

This scientific documentation is based on anti-Semitic and anti-Judaistic conspiracy theories in its statements .

Charisma

The series was broadcast on Syrian television during Ramadan in October and November 2003, and in the end credits "special thanks" are sent to various Syrian government agencies (including the Ministry of Security and Culture, the Damascus Police Leadership and the Office for Antiquities and Museums). Ash-Shatat was shown on Lebanese television channel al-Manar before it was removed from its program. Eventually, "al-Manar's management apologized for broadcasting the series, dropped the program, stating that the broadcaster acquired the series without first viewing it". Ash-Shatat was shown in Iran in 2004 and in Jordan in October 2005 on al-Mamnou, a Jordanian satellite channel.
