Despite being debunked as an anti-Semitic forgery, many people still believe in conspiracy theories and stereotypes fueled by The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. But the Dallas Morning News reports a renewed interest in fighting the canard. Recent developments include:
* PA info minister Nabil Shaath was recently forced to remove a copy posted on his ministry’s web site.
* A documentary by Marc Levin critically examining why people still believe the book was well-received at the Sundance Film Festival.
* The Plot, a novel in comic format by the late Will Eisner traces the history of The Protocols. According to the SF Chronicle, French schools will use Eisner’s book to combat anti-Semitism.
