PA TV Airs Antisemitic Cartoon Series Portraying Banishment of Jews from Al-Madina by Muslims

Following are excerpts from “Raids of the Prophet,” an Egyptian animated series which aired on Palestinian Authority TV on July 15-17, 2013:

Jews of the Qaynuqa’ tribe conferring

Nawfal, member of the Qaynuqa’ tribe: The Muslims have grown stronger and have become mighty.

Another member of Qaynuqa’: You are right, Nawfal – especially after their victory at Badr.

Another member of Qaynuqa’: We, the Jews of the Qaynuqa’ tribe, are now on a par with the Muslims, after we used to have the power and the final say in Al-Madina.

Older member of Qaynuqa’: But we will not let them sit back and enjoy that. We will show them what the Jews of Bani Qaynuqa’ are made of.

Devil jumping up: How can they enjoy it while I’m around? I am responsible for them.

Devil's helper: You are responsible for your followers only, but you have no authority over those who are God-fearing.”

Devil: I know that, you idiot, but I have followers, whose hearts are filled with animosity, hatred, and envy towards Muhammad and his companions. This, in itself, can accomplish a lot.

Qaynuqa’ member: The Aws and Khazraj tribes are having laughs together, after their enmity used to fill the land from east to west.

Another member of Qaynuqa’: Muhammad brought harmony to their hearts, and what you see is the outcome. My heart rages with fire whenever I see Muslims who love one another. Utility means power and success in everything. We will not allow this.

[…]

“The Muslims besiege the Jews of Qaynuqa’ having foiled their plot to pit the Aws and Khazraj tribes against one another.”

Muslim fighter: This is the fortress of the Qaynuqa’ tribe.

Another Muslim fighter: The gates are locked. How are we to get in?

[…]

Muslim fighter: Masoud, we will lay siege to them.

Masoud, a Muslim fighter: Only besiege them? No fighting?

First Muslim fighter: These are the orders of the Prophet Muhammad.

Giant spiders jump around in the devil’s den

Devil: You idiot, where were you, when everybody abandoned the Qaynuqa’ tribe?

Devil's helper: I did what you told me to do.

Devil: Shut up. You are worthless. All you can do is play and have fun. However, we still have a chance.

Devil's helper: What chance?

Devil: Ibn Saloul.

[...]

Muslim: How can you possibly ask us to defy the order of Allah’s prophet?

Ibn Saloul: I’m just reminding you of your old pact with the Qaynuqa’ tribe, before Muhammad came to Al-Madina, before Muhammad came to Al-Madina.

Other Muslim: We kept that pact until they breached it themselves.

Ibn Saloul: Um… Um… They didn’t mean to.

Muslim: Inciting the Aws and the Khazraj tribes against one another, violating agreements harassing our women, making fun of the Muslims, affronting the Prophet of Allah – they did all this by accident?

[...]

Member of Qaynuqa’: Everybody has abandoned us. We are here alone.

Another member of Qaynuqa’: We have been here for 15 days, and nobody has saved us.

Older member of Qaynuqa': We are imprisoned here. If things don’t change, we will die of hunger. Our supply of food and drink is almost finished.

Member of Qaynuqa’: I don’t want to die. No, I don’t want to die.

Older member of Qaynuqa’: Neither do we. We don’t want to die either.

Member of Qaynuqa’: Do something then.

Member of Qaynuqa’: There is only one thing to do.

[…]

Narrator: So they left Al-Madina, and the Prophet made sure no harm would be done to them on their way out. He sent a group of the Ansar to protect them.

Muslim: The Jews of the Qaynuqa’ tribe did not honor their pact with us. They persisted in their evil until it turned against them.
