A conspiracy theory circulating in the Arab world holds that the
Muslim Brotherhood is secretly allied with the Jews, the Anti-Defamation
League said.
“It would seem that no allegation made against Jews and
Israel is too absurd when it is used to discredit others,” ADL National
Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement.
Protesters were shown in a television broadcast last
Friday chanting “Khaibar, Khaibar, oh Jews, the Brothers (Muslim
Brotherhood) are the Jews,” according to the ADL, which explains that
the slogan is meant to evoke an Islamic story of a battle between the
Prophet Muhammad and the Jews in the town of Khaibar.
Also, Dubai Police Chief Dahi Khalfan in a Twitter
campaign aiming to discredit the Muslim Brotherhood recently alleged an
allegiance to Israel and Jews.
“However bizarre and ludicrous, it is an increasingly
popular conspiracy theory that the Muslim Brotherhood is a Jewish
production to destroy Egyptians,” Foxman wrote.
Among other tweets to his 30,000 followers suggesting a
Muslim Brotherhood connection to Jews, Khalfan has retweeted a link to a
YouTube video titled “The Jewish-Muslim Brotherhood alliance and the
project of establishing Greater Israel.” The video accuses Jews of using
the Brotherhood to achieve their goal of controlling Muslims and
establishing a greater Israel.
