The Jerusalem Post reports that

The Jerusalem Post reports that the Egyptian government has assured the U.S. State Department that there is no anti-Semitic content in a 41-part series that the Anti-Defamation League has described as “a very troubling manifestation of anti-Jewish incitement.” Moreover, the State Department itself reportedly found no anti-Semitic material in the first six episodes of the series. I do not know at this time whether the Egyptian representations are truthful and whether the State Department’s conclusion is reasonable. One would like, at least, to credit our own government. However, Trunk’s reporting on past State Department cover-ups on behalf of Arafat invites skepticism. This story may be worth keeping an eye on.
