Human Price of the Israeli Occupation of Palestine Israeli daily aggression on the Palestinian people Mission and meaning of Al-Jazeerah
|
The Egyptian tv channel, "Dream" produced a series titled, "A knight without a horse." Israelis criticized it as anti-semitic and demanded that the Egyptian government stop airing it. The US embassy in Cairo also objected together with many members of Congress. Pro-Israel media in the US also criticized it. The spokesman of the Egyptian government rejected the accusations and called them "intellectual terrorism." The series started to air in more than 20 Arab TV stations during the month of Ramadhan, when tv shows are most seen at night after breaking the fast. Because of the importance of the topic: the US and Israeli intervention to censor intellectual works, Al-Jazeerah will report on the series, on daily basis, by summarizing daily shows and reporting reactions about the topic published in the Arab media.

Episodes (By numbers and dates)
1. 11/6/02 (The first day of Ramadhan), reported by Jordan Times, 11/8/02 The first episode centers on journalist Hafez Neguib, played by Mohammed Sobhi, who tries to find out if the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are true. The first episode began with a narration by Sobhi as he and scores of others, looking dishevelled and exhausted, walked on a desert in the aftermath of Israel's 1948 creation on Palestine. “The armies of the free have been defeated by treachery,” he said in a deep and somber voice. “Beloved Palestine is lost, grabbed by Zion's sons through organized plundering.” He then went on to show events he said took place in Egypt in 1855 when his father was abducted at age 5 by a Turkish Pasha whose wife bore him three daughters but no sons. Sobhi, the show's star and producer, on Monday said he agreed with historians who have long dismissed the protocols as a forgery concocted by Russian Czar Nicholas II's secret police to blame the country's problems on Jews. Sobhi argues that only a small portion of the series is based on the work.
Naguib is growing in the palace of Hazeq Pasha, the Turkish landlord. He is smart and good looking. The Pasha's daughter, Malak, falls in love with him, which triggers jealousy on the part of a Turkish boy called Cinmar. Cinmar doesn't like Egyptian peasants. He plays a dirty trick to get Naguib into trouble. He stole the Jewel box of the landlady and hid it under a tree in the garden. Quickly, everybody except Malak accused Naguib of stealing. He denied and cried. A female servant saw him Cinmar hiding the jewels in the garden and told the family about it. The Pasha apologized to Naguib and asked everybody to apologize to him for their unbased allegation, which they did. However, the Pasha's wife was harsh to the boy and always treated him with contempt as a fellah, a peasant. Naguib grew up to become an officer guarding the Kidavi Ismael, King of Egypt at that time. When the time came for him to ask Malak's hand for marriage, her father Hazeq Pasha agreed quickly but his wife resisted. Finally, she agreed after persistence from Naguib and help from the Pasha. When his father and his family heard about that, they were very happy for the opportunity that their son would link them, as peasants, with the Turkish aristocratic landlords.
The Pasha's wife, Anorin, was an authoritative woman. She kept insulting Naguib until one day he argued back with her. Then, she found the excuse she was looking for to divorce her daughter, Malak, from him. Her husband, Hazeq Pasha had a weak personality. He sided with her when Naguib described Anorin as oppressive as her county, Turkey. Naguib left the palace to his father's house, leaving his pregnant wife behind. Anorin insisted that her daughter, Malak, have an abortion to get rid of anything that may link the family to the Egyptian fellah. She brought a midwife, who performed abortion on Malak with help from servants. However, her son, Hafez, survived but his oppressive grandmother insisted that he should live in the basement with the servants, who taught him about his father and about Egypt and the Egyptians. Anorin also prevented her daughter from seeing her child.
As a punishment for Naguib, he was sent to serve in the Sudan far away from his family. His wife, Malak, wrote him several letters describing the harsh conditions she was forced to live in. Finally, Naguib came back from the Sudan but to find out that Malak died in the basement, where the servants lived. After her death, Anorin tried to educate her grandson, Hafez, in a way that would make him a Turkish aristocrat. However, Hafez resisted and insisted on speaking in Arabic. He even wanted to ride a horse like his father.
Naguib came back from the Sudan. He took his son, Hafez, from his Turkish grandparent's palace, armed with legal judgment. Hafez lived with his Egyptian side of the family for a while. Then, his grandmother came with a police force to regain the custody of the child by force and to take him with her to Istanbul. However, Hafez disguised by painting his face and arms in black. Thus, his grandmother could not recognize him among the children. When she left, he stepped forward calling his father who couldn't recognize him either. He did a good job disguising himself. Naguib became a police officer. When the British occupied Egypt in 1882, Egyptian resistance started led by Abdallh Al-Nadim. The British humiliated Naguib because he failed to arrest Al-Nadim. His son, Hafez, told him that he would avenge his humiliation by resisting the British. With help from his friend, Sa'ad Hariqa, they set a British military camp on fire, after they had disguised as garbage collectors.
Hafez gets more involved in acts of resistance against the British occupation of Egypt. He became wanted for the British. He fled the country to France with help from a British lady. In Paris, he attended a school that teaches the art of disguise. He returned to Egypt after becoming competent of what he learned but he did not graduate officially. The school principal failed him in response to a request from his French girl friend and her father, who did not want him to leave Paris if he graduated. He decided to confront the school principal by disguising as a Tunisian journalist. He demonstrated his competence when the school principal failed to discover his reality. Finally, he left France back to Egypt, where he resumed resistance to the British occupation of his country. As he became more and more involved in resistance against the British occupation, he became a hero among the Egyptians, like Abdallah Al-Nadeem. In this episode, Hafez acts like Zoro, mixing reality with fiction. Then, he cooperates with a group of Arabs from Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, and Upper Egypt. All were involved in resisting the British occupation of Egypt. Two themes emerged clearly in this episode. First, resistance to the British occupation became a major goal. Second, the episode included non-Egyptian Arab characters participating in resistance, thus emphasizing Arab solidarity.
Hafez mentioned that his father, Naguib, was killed the following day after he had gone to the palace to ask for his and his son's inheritance from his wife's property. The implication was that the Turkish relative of his wife, Cinmar, had him killed in order to deny him any portions of the real estate. Hafez continued working with the same group in resisting the British occupation. They added a belly dancer to the group. In this episode, they hid the dynamite inside her room in the casino. The police came to search the place looking for hashish (marijuana), acting on a tip from a rival belly dancer, who managed to put some hashish there to get her rival into trouble. At the same time, Hafez's two uncles came looking for him, to take him back to the house. They were pressured to do so by Hafez's grandfather, who wanted to see him before he dies. One of the uncles is a blind Muslim cleric. Hafez quickly takes off his uncle's religious uniform, hides the dynamite around his waist and leaves the casino without the police suspecting him. Again, his skills of disguising helped him escape being arrested if the police identified him. He was still wanted for his resistance. However, two dynamite bars fell down and the police picked them up. They knew now that it was dynamite, not hashish, which was hidden in the dancer's room. The police officer, though, did not pursue the matter, as he said it was too dangerous to pursue. Back in the family home, the grandfather was angry that his two sons could not bring his grandson back. The blind uncle was furious for the humiliation that he experienced as a shaikh (clergy) who was arrested with only underware clothing in a dancer's room, in a casino. He thought that his nephew, Hafez, was a spoiled and corrupt young man, who was involved in wrong doing and drug dealing. Both uncles did not see the dynamite and did not know about his involvement in the resistance against the British occupation.
As Hafez became more wanted by the police for his resistance activities, the group decided that he should leave Cairo to the countryside for a while. He went with his good friend, Sa'ad Hariqa, to his aunt's house in the village of Donshwhy. The village entered history when a group of British soldiers were hunting for the village pigeons. While shooting, they killed a woman. The people of Donshwhy became angry and chased them. One of them fell to the ground while running away. He had a sun beat, which killed him. A British force came to investigate and punish the village inhabitants. They killed a young man and took most men in custody for investigation. A court was held in a hurry and four men were sentenced to death, many were sentenced to long-terms in prisons, others were whipped for participation in chasing British soldiers. The four men were hanged in the village to deter Egyptians from showing any signs of resistance to the British occupation. The village inhabitants were brought to see the punishment themselves as a form of collective punishment, too. During the incident and the trial, Hafez disguised as a French journalist, who came to cover the story. By then, he had acquired the nickname "Fox" in reference to his ability to outsmart the Egyptian police and the British occupation authorities. At the end, and before the British soldiers left the scene, he placed some dynamite bars on the road with the the intent of killing some of them. However, he didn't do it because a group of Egyptian children emerged throwing stones at the British soldiers. He stopped it because if he did, some children would be killed too. The episode ends with him praising the children who throw stones at the occupation forces.
Today's episode includes teachers teaching their students about how the British occupation of Egypt happened and their responsibility to resist it. Hafez's uncle (the shaikh) teaches his students that the British got interested in Egypt in 1807. They sent a military expedition, which landed on Rashid, but it was defeated by the Egyptians. The Egyptian power kept growing until the Egyptian influence extended from Greece to Syria, then all the way south to Yemen and Sudan. The European powers did not like to see Egypt as an emerging power. In 1840, they forced Egypt to sign the London Treaty which forced Egypt to relinquish its influence outside its borders. The British Princess, Margaret, came back to Egypt. She was the lady who helped Hafez go to France. When he came to see her, he found her meeting with a group of politically active Egyptian Jews. Their hairstyle, hats, and clothes showed that they were Jews. But they were not referred to as Jews or Zionists. They came to ask Princess Margaret to give them the copy of a book that was published in Russia in 1905, titled "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." They offered to buy the copy from her because they didn't want the Egyptians to read it. They told her that its publication in Russia led to killing about 10,000 Jews there, and they didn't want this to happen to Jews in Egypt. She refused to give them that copy of the book. When they left, Hafez appeared and told her that he listened to everything said. When she left the room for a little while, he went to the closet where she hid the book and took it out. The episode ended when he found out that it was written in Russian. The contents of the book were not discussed.
Hafez came back to Princess Margaret asking her for a hundred pounds (Egyptian currencey). He needed the money to finance his group's resistance activities. Margaret was disappointed because she thought that he came to confess his love to her, particularly because he came to her bedroom. She confessed to him that she loved him from the beginning. The group of Egyptian Zionists appears discussing how the world Zionists became interested in invading the Middle East and colonizing Palestine. They mentioned that Zionists were interested in the region since the 1840 London treaty, which contained Egypt. The British wanted an entity that would separate Egypt and Arab North Africa from Arabia and Arab East Mediterranean. In 1897, the first world Zionist conference was held in Bsle, Switzerland, under the leadership of Herzel. The conference agreed to create a Jewish homeland as a solution to the European Jewish problem. During the 6th world Zionist conference, Zionists excluded Uganda and Argentina as potential Jewish homelands and concentrated on Palestine. The series author so far has not used the word "Jewish." Instead, the word "Zionist" was used to describe these political activities. This conforms with Muslim teachings that consider pious people of the book as good people and their prophets and messengers of God are claimed as Muslims. Then, the accusation of anti-Jewish or anti-semitism is baseless and was blown out of proportion by the world Zionists. All the information mentioned so far are found in thousands of books and articles published about Zionism all over the world. It was an overreaction, big time.
Hafez is called to his dying grandfather. He came back to the house after a long period of absence. Everybody believed that he was a spoiled and indulgent man, except his aunt and her husband. They knew his reality in Donshwhy but did not tell anybody to shield him. In particular, they were suspicious of his uncle, who worked with the British. When they were left alone, Hafez revealed to his dying grandfather that he was the "Fox," the resistance hero, which pleased his grandfather before his death. Hafez was kidnapped by the Egyptian Zionist group and was brought to their leaders. They told him that they knew about his relationship with Princess Margaret. They wanted him to steal the "Book" from Margaret bedroom and offered him any amount of money he would ask. Surprised by him asking for only 200 Egyptian pounds, they agreed instantly. However, he asked them about the importance of that Book, which was worth that fortune. They told him that it was written in Russian about a new kind of soap. The British stole it from the Russian company in order to make the soap in England. But Egyptian Zionists were interested in making the soap in Egypt, which is good for his country. He pretended to agree with them that stealing the book is a patriotic act. Hafez went to Margaret. Margaret asked Hafez to bring her news about the Fox, which he promised to do. While they were sitting on bed, her husband enters. Instead of the end of the world (like what men would do in this situation), the British military officer apologized for interrupting them. When he closed the door, Margaret pretended to be offended by her husband entering her bedroom without permission. She got out and asked him to apologize to Hafez because he hurt his feelings. While she was out of the room, Hafez quickly took the book and hid it under his clothes. Margaret's husband apologized to Hafez, who accepted the apology and left. When he left, Margaret and her husband burst into laughter that their plan to use Hafez was working. They wanted him to help catch the Fox. Hafez met with his resistance group, who reprimanded him for his interest in the Russian Book that was distracting him from resistance activities. He assured them that it would not distract him because he believed that it must be important for the cause. Then, he set out with the group to free Ghassan, the Palestinian group member, who was arrested by the Egyptian police. But he said that Ghassan should leave to Palestine after that.
Hafez disguised himself as the famous Italian sculptor, Luciano (by wearing a mask that represents his face), he introduced himself to the British prison chief, Robert. He convinced him to let him make a statue of him. Robert took him to prison, where he worked, and to his home, too. Hafez told him that the first step should be copying his face to make a mask. Robert laid down and allowed Hafez to make a mask of his face. Hafes goes to his Turkish grandfather's palace after hearing that Cinmar was going to sell it. He negotiated with Cinmar and his office manager about the price of the palace. It was a chance for him to visit the palace, see the pictures of his father and mother, and to see his female cousin, Cinmar's wife. Hafez met with an old acquaintance, Ilias Tannous, who did not know him because Hafez was wearing the mask of the Egyptian journalist, Farahat Baraqi'. But Hafez wanted to talk to him. Therefore, he followed him to the hotel. Concerning the book, the resistance group suggested that Hafez return it before Margaret and her husband would discover its disappearance, particularly because her husband was about to return to Britain, taking the book with him. However, Hafez disagreed. Instead, he the dancer group member, Kamilia, to bring him any other Russian book. The British occupation authorities, unable to arrest the Fox or stop his resistance activities, called the best police detective in Britain to come to Egypt to arrest him. He came and met with journalists, Hafez included, and claimed that he would arrest the Fox in two weeks.
Kamilia brought a Russian book to Hafez. The book was about planting and processing loofah sponges. Hafez took it to Benyamin and Yacoub (the Zionist group). He gave them the book, but one of them read it and told them that it wasn't the book they were looking for. They thought that Margaret was playing games with them hiding the original book and letting Hafez steal the loofah book instead. They still wanted him to try to steal it again. Margaret discovered that the book was stolen. Her husband, Edward, accused Kamilia who was working as an office secretary in the palace. But he then asked Margaret about who else would enter her bedroom. Both of them, then, agreed that it was Hafez. Margaret was mad and threatened to punish him but she also mentioned that Yacoub and Benyamim would punish him, too. Hafez went with his friend, Ilias Tannous, to Luxor to attend a concert organized by the Spanish Countess, Siegrie. The reason he agreed to go there was to meet with Ilias's Russian girlfirend, Natasha. He wanted her to read the book for him. The episode ended without him meeting Natasha. Instead, to his surprise, the Countess asked him to ride with her in her wagon, calling him "Darling." When he exclaimed about her weird behavior, she admitted to him that she was a fugitive.
Countess Siegries stopped with the journalist Farahat Baraqi (Hafez) in a field near the Nile bank. She was waiting for her assistant, Natasha, to come to pick her up in a boat. The boat came and the two of them joined Natasha on the boat. The Countess invited Farahat and his friend Ilias to stay in the hotel where she stayed, on her expense. They welcomed the offer and moved in. She told Farahat that she wanted him to pretend to be her husband in order to repel a noisy pursuer, Alfonso. He agreed and a friendship developed between them. He knew that she was half Egyptian. She liked Egyptian and Arab civilization, particularly ancient temples and ruins. He also knew that she knew Russian. This encouraged him to ask her to translate the book from Russian to Arabic. He revealed to her that he knew the "Fox," who gave him the book to be translated. She was excited to do a favor for the Fox and for Egypt. The Zionist leaders, Yacoub and Benyamin, went to Margaret's palace, where they met with her and her husband Edward before his travel to England. The two parties exchanged accusations about the book. Margaret accused them of hiring Hafez to steal the book. They accused her of deceiving Hafez to steal the wrong book (that deals with the loofah plant). Finally, they concluded that the book was in Hafez's hands. Margaret threatened to have him arrested for betraying her. The Zionists wanted to reach him as quickly as possible before he would know the contents of the book. The Egyptian police chief, Adli, called the journalist Farahat Baraqi (Hafez disguised) to meet with detective Richard (who came from England for the sole purpose of arresting the "Fox"). Richard asked Farahat to announce (in his newspaper, "Al-Mu'ayed") a 500 Egyptian pound prize for anyone who would help in the arrest of the "Fox." He also asked him if that was a good idea. But Farahat did not give him a clear answer. The resistance group finished their surveillance of the prison, its employees, and its rules. Hafez finished the mask of Robert, the prison administrator. The stage was set to rescue Ghassan from the prison.
Disguised as Luchiano, Hafez went to Robert's house to give the statue head he made for him. Robert was happy and invited Hafez to drink for the occasion. Hafez asked him to bring a glass of water. While he was in the kitchen, Hafez added a sleeping tablet in his cup. Robert drank and slept. Hafez took advantage of that. He put on Robert's mask and clothes. He went to prison, set Ghassan free and ordered him to leave to Palestine, which he did. When he went back to the resistance group, he also told Ghassan's sister to leave to Palestine because the British would be looking for her soon. Hafez went to the Countess (disguised as Farahat, the journalist). She told him that she read fifteen pages in the book titled, "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." She added that it was a plan to control the world. She told him that while she could speak Arabic, she couldn't write in Arabic. Therefore, she asked him to sit with her while translating from Russian. So, she would be speaking and he would be writing. Hafez went to his mother's palace, where he met with his cousins (Cinmar and his sister). He was disguised as an attorney representing Hafez Naguib, the son of Malak. He warned them not to sell the palace without agreement with Hafez. Cinmar was angry and denied that Hafez had any rights but his sister was interested to know Hafez. So far, fifteen episodes passed without addressing the contents of the book.
There is nothing in these two episodes about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The whole series so far is nothing but a low-budget soap opera. It was given a huge and free publicity for no reason. The principal actor, Muhammed Subhi, so far has been playing the roles of the Fox, Hafez, Farahat, Luchiano, and Hafez's attorney. Without the publicity about the Protocols, the series would be much below the average. Hafez went to his mother's palace and had a confrontation with his cousin, Cinmar. He was asking for his part of the inheritance. Nada, Ghassan's sister, prepared to travel to Palestine. Hafez's uncle, the shaikh, prepared to marry another wife in order to have children.
Hafez went to his mother's palace to meet with his female maternal cousin, Ahdab, who was interested in him. However, her maternal male cousin Cinmar didn't like him. A contest with swords took place, in which Hafez won. Then, he went to an auction disguised and bought a golden that the Countess Segries wanted to buy. She left angry. When he went to her palace disguised as Farahat, he found out that she left the palace in a trip. Hafez's uncle, who did business with the British, was confronted by his new wife that this was a bad deed. Hafez's blind uncle, the shaikh, brought translated pages from the PROTOCOLS home. He asked his wife to read for him. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A BIG PLAN TO CONTROL THE WHOLE WORLD. HE ADDED THAT THEY WANTED TO ACHIEVE THAT BY PITTING ONE NATION AGAINST ANOTHER AND ONE GOVERNMENT AGAINST ANOTHER. He didn't mention who were the planners. BUT ALL THIS WAS SAID IN ABOUT ONE MINUTE. Farahat made fun of the British detective, Richard, who was working to arrest the Fox. He took him to a magician, a person who pretended to have links with jin, and asked him to tell Richard how to find the fox. Finally, Hafez discovered that his friend Ilias Tannous was not Illias Tannous after all. His real name was Tadros. He was dying. He asked Hafez to take his fortune from a bank in Damscus and give it his wife and daughter. Hafez designed a maske of Tannous, wore it and treaveled to Syria. He met with a friend of Tannous and told him the story and asked him to go with him to the bank and to Tannous's family.
Hafez (disguised as Bishara Tadrus) went to the bank in Damascus, where he deposited 2,000 golden Ottoman liras. His plan was to get acquainted with the bank employees. This would help him withdraw the whole amount of 7,000 liras later without raising suspicion. In the bank, the Countess saw him and addressed him as Ilians Tannous, which he denied. He went to her birthday party, this time with his true face as Hafez. He congratulated her, this time as Sharif Pasha Zahir. She liked him. The Egyptian police chief, Adli, raided Hafez's family home looking for Hafez and the allegedly stolen jewels. Cinmar accused Hafez of stealing these jewels to get rid of him as a contestant to the family inheritance. Adli finds a jewels box, but it turned to belong to the dancer that Hafez's uncle married. Adli went to investigate whether the jewels were really belonged to the dancer or not. Hafez (disguised as Bishara Tadrus) visited the wife and daughter of Tadrus but he did not allow them to get closer to them saying he had an infectious disease (TB). Tadrus'es wife's brother attempted to kill Bishara Tadrus (Hafez) because Bishara shot him in his leg before he left Damascus. He finally left a written note to Bishara's daughter to meet with him in a certain place to get the money. THERE WAS NOTHING SAID ABOUT THE PROTOCOLS IN THIS EPISODE.
There is nothing in this episode about the PROTOCOLS. Hafez managed to transfer the money inot the widow and the daughter of his deceased friend Bishara Tadrus. He then showed his real personality to them and told them he was going back to Egypt. They thanked him for his honesty. He met with the Countess again but without disclosing his real identity to her. He showed her his face but called him Sherif Pasha. He also told her that he was leaving to Egypt. The Egyptian police chief, Adli, raided Hafez's home and found the jewelry box of Hafez's uncle's wife, the dancer. She took the box and knew that her husband was the one who stole her jewelry.
Nothing was mentioned about the PROTOCOLS in these episodes except that the Countess expressed readiness to resume the translation. Hafez and the Countess were worried about smuggling ancient Egyptian artifacts. The British detective, Richard, tightens his investigation of Kamilia, accusing her of knowing Hafez or the Fox. She is arrested though there was no evidence against her. The dancer went back to dancing after she had discovered that her husband (Hafez's uncle) was the one who stole her jewelry.
Nothing was mentioned about the PROTOCOLS in this episode. Hafez participates in a resistance attack against the British occupation soldiers. He disguised as an archaeologist and met with Ben Hayim to examine an ancient Egyptian artifact Ben Hayim wanted to smuggle outside Egypt.
Nothing was mentioned about the PROTOCOLS in this episode. Hafez (disguised as a British archaeologist, Smith) cooperated with Countess Segrice to have Yacoub and Ben Hayim arrested for attempting to smuggle ancient Egyptian artifacts. Before that, they tried to persuade him to put some artifacts inside an Egyptian tomb then to announce that he found them there. The objective was to create evidence for the existence of their ancestors there. Hafez's uncle, Anter, tips the British and Egyptian police about his nephew. He told them that he disguised as Dr. Smith. They came to arrest him in the hotel but he managed to escape. Kamilia is tortured and raped in prison to force her to tell about Hafez but she didn't. The resistance group vows to avenge her.
There is nothing about the PROTOCOLS in this episode. The police raids the hotel to arrest Hafez, who was disguised as Dr. Smith. However, he managed to escape after locking the police inside his room in the hotel. Kamilia told the resistance group that she was given a sedating injection then she was raped, three times. She wanted to identify the rapist before taking revenge. The police arrests all members of Hafez's family, including his two uncles and his aunt's husband in an attempt to force him to surrender. The elderly Turkish pasha blackmailed Ahdab, Hafez's female maternal cousin, by keeping her son in his palace until she agrees to marry him.
There was one sentence about the PROTOCOLS in these three episodes. Hafez went to a party sponsored by his enemy, his male maternal cousin, Cinmar. He was disguised as a Tunisian journalist. His female maternal cousin, Adab, was the one who invited him. She admired his heroism in resisting the British occupation of Egypt. He surprised everybody in the party by uncovering his mask and showing his face to the Countess, Sigrice, who wanted to see him. Before being arrested, he told people in the party why he was worried for Egypt and the Middle East. He said that this area of the world was the target of all kinds of plans that aim at controlling it and exploiting its people and their resources. He mentioned the British occupation and the class of Turkish pashas as the direct enemies of the Egyptians. Then, he mentioned the others with their PROTOCOLS, which are plans to control the area. He did not identify who these were. He neither used the word, "Jews" nor the word "Zionists". The lights went off and Hafez disappeared for a moment, but he was found on the second floor. Then, he was arrested and taken to prison. There, he was placed in a room alone. The door was sealed to make sure that he would not leave the room. The following day, the British detective, Richard, came to start the investigation. To his surprise, he did not find Hafez. Instead, he found a dump man, who was Hafez's friend, the Tiger. Hafez designed a mask of himself and put it on his friend's face, to fool the police.
Kamilia confronted Edward as her rapist in prison. With help from Yousuf, she extracted a written admission from him about that in order to publish it in newspapers. But Margaret, his wife, killed Kamilia and injured Yousuf, who also died after telling the news to Hafez and other members of resistance. Hafez spoke about the PROTOCOLS saying that the book revealed the Zionist plan to control the world. The Egyptian Zionist group discussed how Hayim Wiseman was appointed to a high position in the British Department of the Navy during World War I. They also mentioned that his research about explosives facilitated the work of the World Zionist Organization to extract the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain promised to help Zionists establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. But the PROTOCOLS themselves have not been discussed so far. Countess Sigrice said she was going to resume translation of the book from Russian.
Some of the PROTOCOLS' translated chapters started to appear among Al-Azhar University students in Cairo. The Egyptian Zionist group met to discuss the publication of these chapters. They decided to kill Hafez because of his ownership of the book. One of them said that Zionists should have killed BENJAMIN FRANKLIN for his anti-Zionist stance. He said in one speech that Zionists would one day control the United States. The group also discussed how the Anglo-French agreement, known as Sikes-Picout, which divided the Arab Middle East after World War I, was influenced by the World Zionist Organization. Hafez helped Ahdab to run away with her child from Cinmar's palace. Cinmar decided to kill Hafez for that. Thus, Hafez became the target of the British, Zionists, and the Turkish feudal class.
Hafez fights with his Turkish cousin, Cinmar, who was killed when the horse pulled him against a sharp object. Edward committed suicide when the detective, Richard, started to interrogate him about raping Kamilia. Ahdab took her son, Shahab, and left to Istanbul. The real estate returned to Hafez and Ahdab after Cinmar's death. The Zionist group discussed the world political scene in 1915. Loyd George and Arthur Balfour became the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister of Britain, respectively. Zionists were excited because both of them were pro-Zionist, who were assisted to reach these positions. They were expected to serve the World Zionist Organization, in return. Hafez added two people to his resistance group: the Egyptian police officer, Adli, and Countess Sigrice. The Palestinian female member of the resistance group, Nada, returned to Egypt to report on the Zionist plot and Turkish repression of Arab resistance. She mentioned how Jamal Pasha hanged 32 of the Syrian leaders in an attempt to crush the emerging Arab Nationalist movement.
One of the Egyptian Zionists recognized Hafez when he met with Countess Sigrice in a hotel, without a mask. He followed him to his room. He told the Zionist leaders, who ordered Hafez's assassination. The two Zionist assassins couldn't kill Hafez, who disguised as Farahat. Instead, they injured the British detective, Richard. Hafez saved Richard's life by stopping the bleeding and getting the bullet out. Richard threatens to kill Hafez for attempting to kill him. At that moment, Farahat takes off his mask showing Richard that he was Hafez. He told him that he was not a killer or a terrorist. Rather, he was a freedom fighter who was struggling against the British occupation of his country, Egypt. A discussion took place between Hafez and Richard about the conflict. Richard said that his countries interests were the motive behind its imperialist wars and occupation of other countries. Hafez corrected him saying that Britain was also serving the interests of World Zionists, who had a vested interest in the British occupation of Egypt, and of the Egyptian withdrawal from Syria, in 1841. The Zionists convinced the British politicians that it was in the interest of Britain to enable them to have a state of their own east of the Suez in order to secure their trade route to India. Then, Hafez asked Richard about what he would do if Britain is invaded by another power, would he fight against the foreign invaders or accept their rule. And if he resisted the foreign occupation of his country, would it be fair to accuse him of being a terrorist? He added that it is the invading occupier who is the real terrorist. Richard showed his understanding to Hafez's argument, but he urged him to run away and hide from him, otherwise he wouldn't hesitate to arrest him. During one of their meetings, the Egyptian Zionists discussed assassination as an effective way to remove their opponents of their way. That was why they ordered the assassination of Hafez. They also mentioned PROTOCOL No. 22 in reference to effective methods of controlling various world governments. They mentioned hording gold or releasing big quantities of it in order to influence policies of governments. But the discussion was about two minutes.
Hafez decided to leave Egypt to Palestine, where the real battle was going to be. He disguised as a dying old man. When the man died, Hafez's resistance fellow, Adli, reported to the police that Hafez had died. The objective was leading the British to know that he was dead so that they would stop looking for him. The Egyptian Zionist group celebrated the winning and appointment of their friends in Britain in major political decision making positions in the British government. Among the names mentioned were Arthur Balfour, Lloyd George, and Herbert Samuel. They also mentioned how much power do American Zionists have on the US government. They convinced the US government to enter World War I on the side of the British to guarantee their victory. They agreed that Britain had to formalize its promise to help them establish a Zionist homeland in Palestine. Hafez managed to have the PROTOCOLS translated and he sent copies to everybody, including the British officers in Egypt.
The Egyptian police chief and the British detective, Richard, came to make sure that Hafez died. They took off his mask and made sure that he was sent to the grave. The news and pictures of his death were published in newspapers and people cried him. The following day after leaving him in the tomb room, the resistance group came back to help him out. He was not dead. He was given a medicine to lower his heart beats and make him look dead. His family knew the good news. As Hafez was preparing to leave to Palestine, where the real battle is, the resistance group stole weapons from British camps in the Suez area. They carried them to Sinai waiting fro Hafez's arrival to take them with him in order to participate in resistance to the Zionist colonization of Palestine.
41. 12/13/02 (The last Episode)
The Egyptian Zionist group blew up a building in Cairo where a group of Palestinian and Egyptian students were meeting. The group was known as ant-Zionist. Egyptian Zionists also killed Countess Sigrice and took the book of the PROTOCOLS from her. To avenge them, Hafez went with another member of resistance to a place where Zionists meet to blow it up. However, he changed his mind because of the presence of women and children. Hafez and many members of his group travel to Palestine with the weapons they got from British camps. They were determined to resist the Zionist invasion of the Middle East for the following century. The series ended with the slogan that whoever resists invaders and occupiers of his country is not a terrorist. The 41 episodes of "Knight without a horse" ended without discussing the chapters of the book, "PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION." All what the TV series did is mentioning it, which makes one wonders why Zionists in the US and Israel reacted the way they did. What is amazing is that the book is available all over the world and on the internet. It's like they wanted people to start talking about it again.
