A play titled "The Spy," recently aired on the Egyptian Al-Hayat TV channel, displays antisemitic
stereotypes and portrays Mossad officials preparing "for a huge operation of espionage and sowing
disunity" which targets the entire Arab world.
At Mossad headquarters, Mossad officials listen to an Israeli child singing Umm Kulthum's song 'Enta
Omri.' All male Mossad officials are named Binyamin, and listed here according to their seating from left to
right.
All Mossad officials: "How great..."
Binyamin I: "What's wrong with you, Binyamin?"
Binyamin V: "Binyamin, why do you cry whenever you hear this song?"
Binyamin III: "To tell the truth, I don't understand a word of the song."
Binyamin I: "Ummu Kulthum's song, 'Enta Omri,' is very beautiful."
Binyamin II: "Just beautiful?! That boy Elisha sings it better than Umm Kulthum herself."
