PA:The Protocols of the Elders of Zion an Authentic Document


PA:The Protocols of the Elders of Zion an Authentic Document / Itamar Marcus et al


Part Tw0
"Every ten years, a vital aim is achieved. These are the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
of a century, from 1897 till 1997. They have planned and accomplished. Every ten
years, another aim was achieved, proving their continuity and their power.”7
Everything cited until this point is from Fatah political leaders on PA Fatah-controlled TV and
newspapers. The Hamas movement agrees with this ideology and even formalizes it by
incorporating the Protocols into its ideology and citing it in the official Hamas charter:
Article Thirty Two
“...Hamas is calling upon the Arab and Islamic peoples to act seriously and tirelessly in order to frustrate that dreadful scheme ... Today it is Palestine and tomorrow it may be another country or other countries. For Zionist scheming has no end, and after
Palestine they will covet expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates... Their scheme has
been laid out in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and their present [conduct] is the
best proof of what is said there.”
In order to present the Protocols libel as authentic Jewish ideology, the PA educators teach that careful observation of Jewish history shows earlier signs and indications of this libel.  Thus they teach that the Protocols, while a relatively new Zionist document, is not a new Jewish ideology, but a continuation of the pattern of Jewish thinking and behavior throughout history. According to this view, the Protocols is only the apex – the peak of Jewish development.
Here is one example:
Sheikh Attiyeh Sahar, Chairman of the Department of Islamic Research in The Al-
Zahar University:
“It must be known that this nation, the Jews, are willing of mind soul to alter their
religion in order to attain their demands. This is rooted deep in their history…They
alienated the God that saved them and willed to worship idols… These things show us
that these people, in order to attain their goals, are willing to turn away from their
God...We also know that they changed the Bible and replaced it, because it does not
serve their purposes, and they drafted the Talmud, as it is known, and came up, finally,
with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”8
To counter this Jewish threat indicated by the Protocols, Palestinian defense bodies
undertake "research" to defend against it:

“The 65th issue of The Shahids (Martyrs) was recently published by the Political
Guidance of the Border Patrol. The issue includes many important political, economic
and military matters… In addition, there is a chapter about a research paper, entitled
‘The Jewish Danger: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.’”9
This Protocols libel is not limited to the written and spoken word. Palestinian political cartoons
reflect the Protocols libel of Jews, even when the Protocols is not explicitly cited. Some examples:
1- The Jews endanger the world:
2- Jews control and dictate policy of world leaders and governments
3- The Jew's goal is world domination
In conclusion, in spite of universal acceptance of the Protocols as an anti-Semitic forgery, the representation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as an authentic book representing a true Jewish conspiracy is part of Palestinian Authority ideology. The PA is using this libel the same way it was used by anti-Semites in the last century: Once it was documented by an "authentic" book that the Jews were part of an international conspiracy to dominate, control and conquer the world, then fighting them, persecuting them or even killing them could be presented as legitimate self defense.
The Protocols for the Palestinians serve the same purpose as the blood libels and the myths of the poisoned wells: If the Jews are scheming to kill others, then fighting them is legitimate self-defense and even admirable.

The Palestinian Authority successfully used the Protocols libel, together with other hate propaganda, to transform the killing of Jews from immoral murder into legitimate self-defense, and even the service of humanity. The overwhelming Palestinian popular support for the suicide terror war against Israeli civilians, and the transformation of the murderers of Jews into Palestinian heroes and role models for children, can be seen as proof of the complete success for the Palestinian Authority policy of demonizing Jews and Israelis. This revival of the Protocols libel was for the Palestinian Authority an important component, as it gave academic support and "authentic" authorization to the intrinsically evil depiction of Jews and Israelis that was so important to the PA, and it made for Palestinians fighting and killing Jews
a natural response.
