Former Egyptian official says Israel upset over Arab unity around Moroccan child in well

How can a child trapped in a well bring out the latent antisemitism of Egyptian officials?

Syed Qassem Al-Masry, former assistant foreign minister of Egypt, writes in Shorouk News that Israel is upset at the show of concern and grief that the Arab world had as a five year old child, Rayan, was trapped in a well in Morocco.

He brings no evidence for this charge, but he does create a bizarre narrative.

Since the inception of Israel, and even since the emergence of the Zionist movement, Israel has been striving to become part of the region. But how can it achieve this when the region is called “the Arab world?” 

It is necessary to put aside this concept and search for a new concept for the region that includes Israel. Studies began to be published about the many nationalities inhabiting the region; The Kurds and Turkmens in Syria and Iraq, the many peoples and ethnicities that make up Lebanon, the Berbers in the Maghreb countries, and the many African ethnicities in Sudan and Mauritania. As for the countries of the Horn of Africa that joined the Arab League, not all Arab criteria apply to them, the first of which is language.. Therefore, naming the region “the Arab world” is a misleading designation [to Israel.] 

Israel was not satisfied with only the studies, but started to implement it, so it put forward a new name for the region, which is “MENA” which is the first letters of the phrase “Middle East and North Africa” in English.

As far as I can tell, the World Bank was the first to use that acronym. But hey, Jews, banks, same thing.

He goes on to say that Israel capitalized on intra-Arab fighting and then came up with the idea of the Abrahamic religion, for the Abraham Accords - all to split the Arab world! (The "Abrahamic religion" as a means to destroy Islam is now a popular conspiracy theory in Arabic media.)

This is how Israel achieved the dream, and even more than it dreamed of. The decade of Arab unity was scattered and fragments flew all over, and Arab nationalism died and was buried, and there is no hope of reviving it except for those who believe in the transmigration of souls.

But suddenly the unexpected happened. A Moroccan child fell into an abandoned well in a remote area of ​​Morocco, and if the entire Arab world was terrified, praying to God as one family, whose child had fallen into the well.. The Arabs proved - without pretense - that the flame of Arabism is still burning.. ,Yes, this is our nation, one nation, despite the nose of schemers.

So Al Masry says that Israel was upset that the Arab world was unified in its concern over little Rayan, which ruined the nefarious plans of Jews dividing the Arab world.

This is mainstreamed insanity.
