From the Nazis to Hamas: The Mass Appeal of ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ Persists (VIDEO)

This week marks 119 years since the publication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forged antisemitic document portraying a worldwide Jewish plot to manipulate the economy and media. The Russian newspaper Znamya is believed to have first printed portions of the conspiracy theory in August 1903, under the headline “The Jewish program for the conquest of the world.”

In 1921, The London Times presented conclusive evidence that the Protocols were “clumsy plagiarism.” Its authors had in fact concocted the conspiracy theory by appropriating a satirical essay that made no mention of Jews, The London Times found.

Though thoroughly debunked, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has been peddled and published by Judeophobic movements throughout history — including the German Nazi party, Hamas, and the Palestinian Authority.

Meanwhile, some major news outlets have also promoted tropes about Jewish world domination.
