The video is part of a series titled “An al-Yahud” (“About the Jews”), which the organization launched in 2020. Previous topics covered include the origins and beliefs of the Jewish people; the history of Muslim-Jewish relations; the Holocaust; Jewish ties to Jerusalem; the antisemitic forgery “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”; Israel’s diversity; and a profile of American Jews.

The series has been viewed by tens of millions of Arabic speakers, according to the release, including in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the United Arab Emirates. The project’s Arabic language social media channels have more than 800,000 followers. The series is also available in English.

For the past three decades, AJC has met regularly with Arab and Muslim leaders across the Middle East and North Africa to exchange views on matters of mutual concern and help strengthen ties between Jews and Muslims, as well as Israel and Arab nations.

“We have always believed that if one religious, racial or ethnic group is targeted because of its identity, then we are all at risk,” said AJC CEO David Harris. “That’s why we have always stood up against attacks on other communities. And as antisemitism rises around the world, we look to more and more of our brothers and sisters of other faiths, including Muslims, to stand with us.”
