What propaganda? --asks Pierce from his ostrich pose.
Well, we could start with something the Holocaust Museum has to say about
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (let this title stand for the several it's been published under -- try the Wikipedia entry for a summary) :
Quote:
Meanwhile, the forgery has found traction in much of the Middle East. Televised dramatizations of The Protocols have appeared on Egyptian television in October-November 2002 and on Al-Manar (Hezbollah) television in 2003. The latter version included scenes depicting Jews draining the blood of a Christian child as an ingredient in matzah (unleavened bread consumed by observant Jews during the Passover holiday; the actual ingredients are flour and water only).
In 2003, the manuscript library at Alexandria, Egypt reportedly displayed an Arabic edition of The Protocols as an example of a Jewish holy book.
In 2005, Iranian booksellers displayed copies of The Protocols and The International Jew at the Frankfurt (Germany) Book Fair, the world's largest.
The tragedy of The Protocols, Greene says, is that "a piece of propaganda that nurtured anti-Semitism during the Nazi period is still doing the same today."
