Protocols via Idiotarian via Israellycool find this BBC report making the usual excuses for Arab anti-Semitism.
But it is not based on any historical hatred of Jews as a race.
It has more to do with the need to be seen supporting the Palestinians, even if only in a purely symbolic way.
That means that if and when real peace comes, the Egyptian media are likely to quickly forget their anti-Semitic line...
Sure, just give them what they want and they'll stop hating Jews. Like blacks in the south before civil rights, everything was just fine until someone started making trouble and them Jews got uppity. Everything was fine before that, when Jews were a little-noticed and powerless minority. Well things have changed, and they're going to stay changed forever.
