This is a question which has been bothering me for a while.

It's widely acknowledged that the "Protocols" are nothing but a malicious forgery to spur anti-Semitism and 19th century pogroms in Russia, with no truth attached to them. I find this point of view undisputable.

However, in my travels I have seen a vast resurge in poular belief that the "Protocols" are real, expecially in Arab countries where it has been republished and serialised on television, and that this can be proven because "the worldwide Jewish Super-Villain conspriacy" has actually happened.

So, what is your gut reaction?
Do you believe that the "Protocols" are a pile of stinking rubbish?
Are they absolutely true and should be heeded as a warning?
Or are you not sure what the real deal is?

I think people need to relax and spend more time dancing naked amongst the dandelions. But unfortunately, I can't reach everyone. :(

I agree with you 100%. On the other hand, I'd quite like to know what people think. I'm fairly confident that my question will be answered extremely satisfactorily, as it's not particularly difficult.

But still, I just want to check!

I'd be more concerned about the House of Saud.

I agree. Especially as they just funded the re-release of the "Protocols" under the name "The Jewish/Zionist Peril"

Nobody cares? Oh, ok then... that's probably the best thing.

The Arabs simply want an excuse to get rid of the Jews.
As history has proven, they are still here despite the attempts of many to do so.

The protocals of the learned elders of zion was a propaganda piece put out by the russians.....not arabs....but the ends justify the means i guess.

I don't believe one stinkning word of teh Protocols

It was a bunch of crap made up by tzarist police, when anti tzar troubles first started in the mid 19th centuary, it was just an attempt to demonise a group of society so eveyone would forget how crap the tzar was.

Absolutely! I'm impressed by the level of historical knowledge here. The "Protocols" were composed by the Russian secret police (the Okhrana) in Paris, and were copied from a fictional book called "Dialogues between Machiavelli and Montesquieu in Hell" by Maurice Joly. There was also a Gothic horror book about world domination by Herrman Goedsche, that was plagiarized by the Okhrana agents Golovinskii and Rachkovskii.

So, looks like my poll results are what I hoped they would be!!
