Arabic TV series show Jews fighting alongside the Muslims in the battle of Badr

Q: In the Arabic TV series about Omar Ibn Al Khattab, a Jew is shown fighting along with the Muslims in the battle of Badr. Is there evidence for this having happened in reality - did a few Jews participate on the Muslim side in the battles of Badr and Uhud (i.e. without first having converted to Islam)?

What should we do with TV's?

Q: I wanted to know what we should do with TV(s) we no longer want to keep in the house, alhumdulillah the usage of TV has reduced considerably in our house and I wanted to know can we sell the TV or do we need to break it and throw it away so no one else can use it, and we cannot be held accountable for others sins due to them watching the TV?
