There are also many in those parts who think that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is a historical document which somehow "leaked" from within Jewish circles.

It would be nice by such a general statement, some proof is provided or a link. I personally have never heard of these protocols, so I had to do some research and added a link.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are a very well known antisemitic provocation. Anybody that mentions the protocols uncritically or favorably can ABSOLUTELY be accused of antisemitism. If you have does your research and did not come quickly to that conclusion, you are going to dubious sources.


The Protocols of the (Learned) Elders of Zion (Russian: "Протоколы Сионских мудрецов" or "Сионские Протоколы") is a text frequently quoted and reprinted by anti-Semites, purporting to describe a plan to achieve Jewish global domination. It has been repeatedly exposed as a hoax by numerous independent investigations during the last hundred years. The Encyclopædia Britannica describes the Protocols as a "fraudulent document that served as a pretext and rationale for anti-Semitism in the early 20th century".

Mainstream historians in the United States of America and Europe have long agreed that the text is fraudulent; this has also been stated in a number of court cases worldwide, e.g., as early as the 1930s in Bern, Switzerland. In 1993, a district court in Moscow, Russia, formally ruled that the Protocols were faked in dismissing a libel suit by the ultra-nationalist Pamyat organization, which had been criticized for using them in their anti-Semitic publications.[1]

The Protocols is accepted as factual in some parts of the world in which people hold negative opinions of Jews or Israel and Zionism. In the current conflicts in the Middle East, the Protocols is sometimes used as evidence of Jewish conspiracy.

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes

My father was in the government of occupied Germany and I was taken to see the camp at Dachau at the age of eight. Ahmadinejad is wrong. What would cause people to deny a historical catastrophe of this magnitude?

Did he deny the Holocaust or try to proportion the same related to the importance of the Biblical Land and Jerusalem for all religions? The Jewish nation refers to the Holocaust as exclusive for their people, discounting the many other victims of extermination in the Nazi camps and the multiple of deaths caused by WWII.

Yes, he denied the Holocaust (link to the ET thread when he made his first pronouncement on the topic or this second one initiated by name). Repeatedly (BBC).

Even trying to "proportion" the holocaust is borderline, frankly.
