In 1991 "The Matzah of Zion" was translated into English. Egyptian producer Munir Radhi subsequently decided it was the ideal "Arab answer" to the film "Schindler's List" and later announced plans to produce a film adaptation of "The Matzah of Zion". The book also reportedly served as a "scientific" basis for a renewal of the blood libel charge in international forums. In 2001, "Al-Ahram" published an article titled ""A Jewish Matzah Made from Arab Blood"" which summarized "The Matzah of Zion", concluding that: "The bestial drive to knead Passover matzahs with the blood of non-Jews is in the records of the Palestinian police where there are many recorded cases of the bodies of Arab children who had disappeared being found, torn to pieces without a single drop of blood. The most reasonable explanation is that the blood was taken to be kneaded into the dough of extremist Jews to be used in matzahs to be devoured during Passover."
