DT # 628 'Tales from the Middle East'


Part 1) A is a movie (adapted from B's novel of the same name) which was banned from Israel and faced delayed release in the U.S because of its anti-semitic overtones. The reason was mainly the make-up and portrayal of the Jewish character C, which was considered strongly stereotypical. Interestingly, it was also banned in D because it portrayed C in a very sympathetic manner.

Part 2) E is a biblical character and one of the sons of Noah. E's sons are supposed to have formed 5 ancient kingdoms. E is also considered an ancestor of F. E lends his name to a group of languages largely spoken in the middle - east.

Give A to F. Also, how is E related to the context of Part 1) ?

Part 3) Connect :

                                                             Recent events in D and neighbouring countries

    Shem is considered ancestor of Jews and Part 1 is related with the accusations against Charles Dickens of his anti-semitic views.

    Connection Marc Lynch wrote book Arab Uprising: The Unfinished Revolutions of the New Middle East based on revolutions in Egypt and its neighbouring countries.

  3. Answer :

    A - Oliver twist
    B - Charles Dickens
    C - Fagin
    D - Egypt
    E - Shem
    F - Abraham

    The word 'semitic' comes from Shem's name. That is the relation.

    Part 3 - Connect : Arab Spring
