Sales of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion skyrocket in Egypt after antisemitic show

Jun 7, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Sales of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion soared in Egypt after the presentation of an antisemitic TV show.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an anti-Semitic pamphlet published in Russia at the end of the 19th century. It purports to be the minutes of meetings held secretly by Jewish wise men plotting to control the world. Exposed many times as a forgery, the Protocols has nevertheless continued to be translated, published, and distributed all over the world, from the United States to Japan, from the Arab world to Latin America. Its legacy is alive and well today in the charter for Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, as well as among Holocaust deniers, and conspiracy theorists.

Following the TV show in Egypt, a whopping 2 million copies of the propagandist The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were purchased by University students, while antisemitic attacks rose. This was the response of the star actor of the show, Mohamed Sobhi…

This show triggered many attacks and an antisemitism suit was even filed against me at the Hague. This is something that I am very proud of

A virulent strain of Islamic antisemitism is on the rise across the EU and in general globally; meanwhile “islamophobia” is being screamed to cover it up–along with other supremacist persecutions, murders and abuses, also going on globally.

”Egyptian Actor Mohamed Sobhi Says That After Airing of Antisemitic Show He Starred in, Sales of Protocols of the Elders of Zion Skyrocketed in Egypt”, MEMRI TV, May 12, 2019:

Egyptian actor Mohamed Sobhi said in a May 12, 2019 interview on Nahar TV (Egypt) that he was proud that an antisemitism suit was filed against him at the International Court of Justice for his role in the antisemitic Egyptian TV show “Horseman without a Horse.”

He added that the show’s real achievement was that two million copies of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” were bought by university students within three months of the show’s broadcast. For some excerpts from “Horseman without a Horse,” see MEMRI TV Clip No. 3383.

Interviewer: “In 2002, you participated in the show Horseman Without a Horse. The show was banned at the time, but 10 years later it was broadcasted in its entirety on Tahrir TV.”
Mohamed Sobhi: “Correct.

    The Koran and the ‘Protocols’are both obvious hoaxes and preposterous forgeries. Muslims show their naivety in accepting both of these texts uncritically, showing that Islam suppresses critical thought.

    The “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is the most notorious and widely distributed anti-Semitic publication of modern times. Its lies about Jews, which have been repeatedly discredited, continue to circulate today, especially on the Internet. The individuals and groups who have used the Protocols are all linked by a common purpose: to spread hatred of Jews.

    The Protocols is entirely a work of fiction, intentionally written to blame Jews for a variety of ills. Those who distribute it claim that it documents a Jewish conspiracy to dominate the world. The conspiracy and its alleged leaders, the so-called Elders of Zion, never existed.

    Nazi party ideologue Alfred Rosenberg introduced Hitler to the Protocols during the early 1920s, as Hitler was developing his worldview. Hitler referred to the Protocols in some of his early political speeches, in MEIN KAMPF and, throughout his career, he exploited the myth that “Jewish-Bolshevists” were conspiring to control the world.

    In 1935, a Swiss court fined two Nazi leaders for circulating a German-language edition of the Protocols in Berne, Switzerland. The presiding justice at the trial declared the Protocols “LIBELOUS,” “OBVIOUS FORGERIES,” and “RIDICULOUS NONSENSE.”

    The U.S. Senate issued a report in 1964 declaring that the Protocols were “fabricated.” The Senate called the contents of the Protocols “gibberish” and criticized those who “peddled” the Protocols for using the same propaganda technique as Hitler.

    In 1993, a Russian court ruled that Pamyat, a far-right nationalist organization, had committed an antisemitic act by publishing the Protocols.

    The Protocols of Zion and the Koran: Both are forgeries meant to defend absolutism by creating an urgent need for genocide on the basis of religion. Muslims have shown themselves chronically incapable of determining the difference between an authentic document and obvious forgeries like the KORAN and PROTOCOLS. Neither the Koran nor the Protocols stand up to even least stringent standards of analysis.

    According to the U.S. Department of State’s “Report on Global Anti-Semitism” (2004), “The clear purpose of the [Protocols is] to incite hatred of Jews and of Israel.”

    Muslims are unable to tell the difference between fact and fiction. The Koran and Protocols fall apart like a house of cards when examined closely.

      Thank you, Mortimer! Your intelligence and knowledge on the subject, is wonderfully amazing!

    The problem is that because the koran is such a collection of rubbish and so-called islamic scholars never developed a proper theology it cannot be questioned. You cannot question which has no logic. Every time one starts a logical chain at the second or third step it ends because of the numberless idiocies in the koran.

    “The Protocols of Zion and the Koran: Both are forgeries meant to defend absolutism by creating an urgent need for genocide on the basis of religion.” This is why I send anyone I can get to listen about Islam straight to Jihad Watch. The highest quality reporting, analysis, and commentary online.

    “You cannot question that which has no logic.” An essential point which too many people of all beliefs forget because it is so emotionally inconvenient. But how can Muslims, especially, tell the difference between fact and fiction at all? When you are taught that there is no objective reality, only the moment-to-moment whim of a wrathful god — “Allah’s Will” — it is impossible to exist without creating elaborate rationalizations in a futile effort to make such a world comprehensible. Violently lashing out at others is one all too predictable response.

    75 years after D-Day and those of us born after WWII are getting a workshop in how it began. With little to show that the lesson will be learned this time either.

    I have a Nephew who serves in the U,S, Army as an Infantry Officer. During one of his tours in Iraq his unit did some house to house searches/fighting. According to what he told us, almost every home that they entered had a large print of Adolf Hitler in the living space. Old evils, like Hitler and The Protocols never seem to die when it comes to Haters.

      Ugly, but no surprise. Muslims generally *hate* Infidels, but make an exception for one of the most evil men in history.

    Many Muslims think Game of Thrones was a true story…

    Jun 7, 2019 at 9:23 pm

    But to be true-with the J.B. they meant the J:Communists because they were a lot in the leadership…yes i know they were Atheists like Karl MArx who also wrote bad things about J.
    —
    Also some people say the Protocols were first about the French King,and was later written new woth some changes.

      The Soviet Communists were indeed very antisemitic, but the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” date back to the Tsarist period. It first appeared in 1903. It was published at the beginning of a serious of horrific Russian pogroms against the Jews.

      It was never French, or about the French, but it originally had some “French sounding words”, probably to make the fake-Zionist text sound “international”.

      But you are right–elements of “the Protocols of the Elders of Zion” were plagiarized from a fictional “Dialogue in Hell”, a thinly veiled attack on the political ambitions of Napoleon III. This in turn was plagiarized in part from an even earlier piece, the “Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu”.

      That this thing is still knocking around over a hundred years later is appalling.

    ………………

    Muslims love “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and “Mein Kampf”–and they read very few books, especially by Infidels. *Very* telling.

    Why is this so called “book” still available anywhere in the world?

      It will be printed underground. Hitler didnot bring about Jew hater in Germany it already exist in Germany for centuries already.

        “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–loves lies and calumny against Jews, just as do all of his pious coreligionists. *Ugh*.

    What do it mean “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” are a forgery? Ilhan Omar says “It’s all about the Benjamins” and “May Allah open up the eyes of the world to see the evil of Israel”. Is Ilhan Omar mistaken?

      This is a notorious forgery–it claims to be the worlds a Zionist meeting, but it is not.

      And Islam has been murderously antisemitic from the very beginning–no surprise that the appalling Robert_k is an apologist for this. Pious Muslims consider the mere existence of Jews living freely to be “evil”.
