Egypt: Government-linked production company presents TV drama predicting destruction of America and Israel

After new broke about this drama predicting Israel’s destruction and the breakup of America, “there was no immediate comment from the Egyptian government. The series is produced by Synergy, one of Egypt’s largest production companies, which has strong links with the government of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The series airs on the ON television network, which is owned by a pro-government company.”

Related: years ago, Jihad Watch reported that Egypt was strengthening ties with Hamas:

The decision to “strengthen ties with Hamas” bears troubling implications despite the “anti-Islamic State campaign” excuse, particularly regarding Egypt’s relations with Israel. Egypt’s strengthening of relations with Hamas suggests that Egypt is heading in a direction opposite to the one that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi indicated when he called for Islamic reform. It is also significant to note that al-Sisi once suggested that “the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood could again play a role in public life if Egyptians wanted a return of the grouping he currently classifies as terrorist.” Hamas styles itself as the Muslim Brotherhood for Palestine.

Despite the praise that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi has received as a “moderate” and his efforts to destroy the Muslim Brotherhood, much about his moderation appears to be lip service. Coptic Christians have not fared much better under El-Sisi’s leadership than they did under the Brotherhood regime. According to a February 2016 report in International Business Times:

Christians continue to complain of rampant and systemic discrimination, and they are virtually shut out from the political sphere. All church construction and repairs must be approved by authorities, and Christians in rural areas have frequently been on the receiving end of violent attacks. Human rights groups say crimes against Christians regularly go unpunished.

El-Sisi appears to have mastered the gift of words, but apparently not of action.

“Israel decries Egyptian TV show predicting its destruction, breakup of the US,” Times of Israel, April 26, 2020:

CAIRO, Egypt — Israel’s Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned a new Egyptian TV drama set in the year 2120 that predicts the Jewish state’s destruction, as well as the breakup of the United States.

The Foreign Ministry statement said the series “is completely unacceptable especially because the two states have had a peace treaty for the past 41 years.”

Israel and Egypt have worked closely on security issues since the 1979 treaty, especially near their shared border in the Sinai Peninsula, in a shared effort against Islamic jihadists. However, public opinion in Egypt has remained largely against normalized relations with Israel.

The Egyptian series “El-Nehaya” — Arabic for “The End” — is about a computer engineer living in a dystopian future dominated by cyborg clones. It is one of the many dramas and soap operas that air each night during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which began last week.

n the first episode, a teacher tells a class of students about “the war to liberate Jerusalem,” which he says occurred less that 100 years after Israel’s founding in 1948. The teacher says Jews in Israel “ran away and returned to their countries of origin” in Europe. He made no mention of what happened to Jews in Israel whose families came from other Middle Eastern countries — roughly half the Jewish population — or Jews whose ancestors had lived in Israel for generations.

A holographic map of a divided US is also shown, with the teacher saying that “America was the central supporter of the Zionist state.”

There was no immediate comment from the Egyptian government. The series is produced by Synergy, one of Egypt’s largest production companies, which has strong links with the government of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The series airs on the ON television network, which is owned by a pro-government company…..
