Abu Dhabi Book Fair: US State Dept. helps promote anti-Semitic hate books, including Mein Kampf

May 4, 2014 1:05 pm By Robert Spencer

Buchmesse05003In a sane world, the U.S. State Department would have withdrawn its “cultural partner” status for the Abu Dhabi Book Fair until all the anti-Semitic hate literature was removed. But this is not a sane world. This is the Age of Obama.

“State Department, French Embassy ‘Partner’ Anti-Semitic Book Fair (& Iran bans ‘Zionist WhatsApp’),” Tom Gross Media, May 4, 2014:

The U.S. State Department is listed as a “cultural partner” of the 24th Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, which is currently being held (from April 30 to May 5). Among the anti-Semitic publications on display at the fair (in both English and Arabic) – books which paved the way for The Holocaust – are “The International Jew,” “Mein Kampf” and “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”.

“The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” is now reported to be the second most widely published book in the Arab world. It promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that Jews are planning global domination.

Then other “cultural partners” for this year’s Abu Dhabi International Book Fair include the French government TV channel France 24, National Geographic magazine, and the French Embassy. (There are, it should be noted, many other titles on display at the book fair, which are not anti-Semitic or have nothing to do with Jews.)

Several senior diplomats at the U.S. State Department, as well as a number of French Foreign Ministry employees (not those stationed in Abu Dhabi) subscribe to this website email list and one would hope they would take steps to have the Book Fair’s organizers remove the anti-Semitic titles.

Similar anti-Semitic literature appeared at the 2014 Casablanca Book Fair and in the recent past at the Frankfurt Book Fair. For more, see this dispatch:

Germany suspends anti-Semitism laws to let Iran sell hate literature at Frankfurt Book Fair (Oct. 25, 2005)

    About Israel / the Jews:

    G-d says this for all the world to see:

    Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

    Obama believes in all this antisemitic garbage..he reveres the sociopath MUHAMMAD who PERSONALLY DECAPITATED 900 UNARMED JEWS…
    So does every member of the State Department( being virulently antisemitic has been a requirement to work in the State Dept for 80 years)…no surprise here

      If State and Obozo don’t watch it, all the stink emanating from 1.5 billion muslims will glue to them for all eternity!

    ““The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” is now reported to be the second most widely published book in the Arab world.”

    Is that after the quran? If so, it surpassed Mein Jihad, which is nothing to scoff at, given its popularity among the mimickers of mahomet.

    This us is nothing new with the State Department. Back in the days of the Cold War the SD was always eager to sign up for these kinds of cultural evens and getting caught with their pants down. The difference now is we have a President who openly hates Israel,

    The age of Obama is right.

    “Did you change ‘attacks’ to ‘demonstrations’ in the talking points?” (Bret) Baier pressed.

    “Maybe, I don’t remember,” (former NSC Spokesman Tommy) Vietor responded, “Dude, this was two years ago!” he said incredulously.

    Then there is the foul-mouthed Young Turk:

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/fck-you-move-the-fck-on-cenk-uygur-flips-off-gop-fox-on-benghazi/

    This is the kind of vile stuff we are treated to on a daily basis from the Obama left. Mocking, ridicule, scoffing, impertinent foul language. Can you imagine a conservative public figure behaving in this manner when Democrats challenged Bush’s war-making policies?

    one would think that in the place like abu dhabi checking for protocols is a standard procedure….. obviously i am wrong

    But it is no problem that these three books can be purchased at amazone

      You really are intellectually challenged, semeru.

      The **point** is that The US (and France), by being listed as a “cultural partner” , is tacitly giving **government approval** to anti-Semitic literature.

      The fact that these books are available on Amazon, is a matter of free speech, **not** tacit government approval of anti-Semitic literature.

      What the US and France should do, is issue a statement that they wholly disapprove of such anti-Semitic garbage, and refuse to be associated with it, in the guise of ”cultural partners”.
