Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism

The Tsarist forgery "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was not the first conspiracy theory about Jews, but it is perhaps the most famous one. It described specific steps that the Jewish cabal was said to use to take over the world and enrich its members: supporting wars, manipulating the media, and replacing religion with materialism. Today we have updated versions of the protocols. They might not take the same written form as the older forgery, but they are imprinted in the minds of modern antisemites. These protocols include ideas such as: the Jewish lobby controls the American government; Israel ethnically cleanses non-Jews from Israel; Zionism is racism; Israel violates international law in myriad ways; and Jews use the Holocaust to justify their own Nazi-like crimes. In some circles these new protocols have practically become a religion, and the people who believe the new lies are as fanatic as the ones who believe the old ones. This book defines and exposes modern antisemitism. It shows how the scourge of Jew-hatred is as virulent as it ever was and how modern antisemites hide their hate behind the pretexts of "human rights" and "international law." Protocols identifies and refutes the arguments of today's haters. It is indispensable to understand how the "world's oldest hatred" has returned and how it tries to disguise itself.

Review :
This is a brilliant and forceful book about modern antisemitism-except that it is really an anti-propaganda weapon of war. The venerable Elder of Ziyon has written a witty, pithy, and yet comprehensive work; his argumentation and documentation are superb, smart, and based on a knowledge of Judaism, history, warfare, and propaganda. He skewers Jew haters/anti-Zionists with such skill that the reader is prompted to laugh, cry, and/or fly into a rage-and all at the same time. Elder exposes all the "word games" with which journalists confuse legal reality, the Big Lies, about "racism" and "apartheid," the quadruple standards by which Israel alone is judged by the "academic fraudsters," and by the NGOs, the UN, the churches, the media, the Palestinian terrorists, and by all the many Masters of the zero sum game. - Phyllis Chesler, author, The New Anti-Semitism: The Current Crisis and What We Must Do About It Incisive, insightful, illuminating, and overall devastating essays on topics of deep concern to Jews and their allies today: antisemitism, anti-Zionism, the left's turn against the Jews, the abuse of "international law," the dishonesty of many Israel-haters and more. Elder's work is truly substantive, not only displaying greater intellectual breadth and depth than so many of the "academics" who weaponize their work against the world's only Jewish state but decisively shredding their webs of dissimulations and lies. - Andrew Pessin, editor, Anti-Zionism on Campus: The University, Free Speech, and BDS Antisemitism is both the oldest hatred and the newest, and in exposing the lies behind the modern embodiment of the infamous "Protocols," Elder of Ziyon has written the essential reference handbook. In tackling the broad range of hate campaigns, from manipulating the slogans of international law and human rights in the United Nation, to the fake media experts and the NGO anti-Zionist jihad, the New Protocols is a concise and fact-filled response. -Professor Gerald Steinberg, Founder, NGO Monitor This clear and concise book exposes how modern antisemitism is just as ubiquitous and insidious as ever, and how the antisemites have cleverly disguised their intense hatred as "criticism of Israel" in NGO reports, op-eds and scholarly papers. Elder reveals how they have duped the media and many in the West into thinking Israel is a pariah state that has no legitimate historic or moral right to exist. This study is an indispensable guide for understanding the sinister danger of antisemitism to Jews and the West. - Alex Grobman, author, Nations United: How The UN Undermines Israel and the West This is an indispensable resource for both the seasoned activist and the wider public. It shows us what antisemitism looks like today and equips us with the knowledge to fight it. Written with the Elder's characteristic clarity and vigour, it should become a standard text on modern antisemitism. -Alex Ryvchin, author, Zionism: The Concise History
