Ash-Shatat
Ash-Shatat (Arabic: الشتات, lit. 'The Diaspora') is a 29-part Syrian television series produced in 2003 by a private Syrian film company,[1] Linn, at a cost of $5.1m.[2] Based in part on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the series reflects anti-Semitic stereotypes and themes. It depicts Jews engaging in a conspiracy to rule the world, and repeats traditional blood libels against Jews, such as the murder of Christian children and the use of their blood to bake matzah.[3]
Although it was produced in Syria and the closing credits give "special thanks" to various Syrian government entities (including the security ministry, the culture ministry, the Damascus Police Command, and the Department of Antiquities and Museums), Syrian national television "declined to air the program".[1]
