The controversial scene shown during Ramadan on Saudi TV in which one Saudi actor advocates for normalization with Israel against Palestinians, saying Palestinians attack Saudi Arabia despite everything it did for them over the decades:
The other actor, the more prominent Nasser al-Qasabi, rebukes him for that (which was actually a key talking point by the Saudi government bots & online campaigns for years), but also stops short of attacking Israel: “We’re with doing things right, not with this one it that one.”
Another Ramadan television series that has been the subject of wife controversy is one that depicts a #Jewish family living in #Kuwait in the 1940s. Starred by Kuwaiti actress Hayat al-Fahad. This scene in Hebrew
Both shows appear on Saudi-owned MBC. Lots of interesting things happening, but eclipsed by the ongoing pandemic.
The Kuwaiti actress doing the role of Umm Haroun (the Mother of Aaron). Those attacking it say it’s doing Israeli propaganda about the establishment of a Jewish state etc.
Certainly unprecedented stuff.
