More RAMADAN TV SERIES -

There are over 30 Syrian series being broadcast this year. This article by Marlin Dick at Lebanon's Daily Star covers at least some of them. It is linked here via the Google cache version because their servers are currently overloaded.

An excerpt which interested me follows.

*Hebrew-speaking characters are a feature of both dramas on the Palestinian issue. They are coached by Syrians who might have day jobs as professors at the state-run Damascus University, where Hebrew is taught, or television employees at Syria's state-run satellite station, working in the Hebrew-language news broadcast department...

Earlier, the crew transformed an old government building in Safita into the offices of the 1940s-era Jewish National Agency, complete with Hebrew-language signs and Star of David flags...*

+ So, there are no Arabs living in Haifa anymore???

They're pulling your leg ;-)

And, by the way,
where's the Ramadan TV mini-series
about the current tragedy in the Sudan?

Just wondering.
