The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a fake text that poses as being written by a secret community of Jewish leaders. It outlines their plans for world domination by implementing marxism, eliminating the white race, and destroying Christianity. Certain gaps and discovered origins in the manifesto’s history make it obvious that the text is fabricated. It’s been used as a tool to instill in populations a fear of Jewish people and was an especially powerful tool of propaganda in Nazi Germany.
This was a rather pathetic read, in my opinion. It’s obviously fabricated and not well written. If the writers were trying to make it seem convincing, it should not have worked, since the text reads like a high school mean girl slandering her ex-best friend online; One section is even titled “Gentiles are Stupid.” However, it had disastrous consequences and achieved its goal of promoting antisemitism on a massive scale. This just goes to show how bigotry can be supported by even the weakest justifications; Henry Ford’s comments at the beginning of the text say that the Protocols must be legitimate because they have been fulfilled thus far, when us normal people can see that nothing of the sort has occurred and there is no secret Jewish clan planning to overthrow the world.
