This research project will trace the evolution of the image of Jews in Egyptian film and television during the past century, with a focus on the prominent roles Jews played as actors, directors and producers in the early beginnings of the 20th century. Despite an increasing competition in the Arab world in the field of Arab media industry, Egypt has a particularly strong legacy in the field of Arabic-language media industry since its origins in 1896. First, Egyptian cinema with all its popular films and film stars is still on the top of all other film industries in the Arab World, and Egyptian films are still aired in the numerous channels of other Arab broadcasting stations. Second, Egyptian Television with all its television shows - including television serials (musalsalat), talk shows, variety shows, and quiz shows - represents a major source for all the channels of other Arab world screens. Jews have been always part of Egyptian society, and have always played a prominent role in the Egyptian film industry since the early beginnings of the twentieth century. Despite the fact that Jews represent a small minority in Egypt, with their numbers dropping over the years as a result of the evolution of political events in the Middle East during the past century (Jewish population of Egypt was estimated at less than 20 in 2017) , interestingly, Jews have been always present on the Egyptian screen and behind. This research project will examine the transformation that occurred to the image of Jews in Egyptian film and television from being represented as a minority in Egypt before the establishment of Israel to being represented as “the enemy” after. The research will also compare between the representation of Jews from being an ethnic group with linguistic differences as khawagas (foreigners) for the sake of comic catharsis, into a group of spies and members of Israeli army after the establishment of Israel as part of their representation in the post-war patriotic movies. In addition, the research will compare between the effect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the image of Jews in Egyptian cinema and television during war times to their image after the Egypt-Israel peace treaty in 1979. The research project will also analyse and discuss the various Egyptian television shows dealing with Israeli and Jewish issues in both Arabic and Hebrew. In 2001, a decision was made to launch an Egyptian television channel (The Nile TV) which broadcasts entirely in Hebrew. “Our aim is to reach Hebrew speakers who may only know about Arab problems with Israel from an Israeli point of view, and by broadcasting to this audience, we can clarify Egypt`s position on the Middle East” said Hasan Aly, the head of the Nile TV Channel. In addition, some Egyptian talk shows are specifically dedicated to covering Israeli news, they usually discuss and analyse Israeli newspaper daily news by interviewing academics and researches in the field of Israel Studies in Egypt. Examples to these television shows include: Bel’ebri Alsarieh [In Explicit Hebrew] , and Egyptian Media during the past decade. It will provide an analytical critical study to the Egyptian television serials, talk shows and prank shows that dealt with the image of Jews in the Egyptian society after the revolution of 2011. At the heart of this research is a discussion of the strong impact of the Egyptian film and television on the Egyptian public opinions towards Jews - with a focus on the mixing between expressions such as Jews, Zionists and Israelis in the Egyptian context - and how it shifted over the years towards more objectivity and less stereotyping.
