     The fact that a Hamas supporter still tries publicly to defend
the Protocols is additional disturbing evidence of the persistence
of anti-Semitism (i.e. "anti-Jewish racism", in deference to Arab
readers) in the Arab world today.

     The exposure of the Protocols as a forgery perpetrated by the
Russian secret police during the early 1890's as a means of inciting
popular opinion against the Jews in order to strengthen the position
of the Czar Nicholas II has already been detailed in a post to t.p.m.
(Dec 1, 1992). A copy of this post is available on request from this
writer. For the benefit of the uninformed, the anti-Semitic lies and
perversions in the document posted by Abdelmalek are similarly
exposed herein.

     This circular argument is based on the fact that the publishers
of the Protocols in western Europe in the early 1920's, who were
anti-Bolshevik Russian emigres, had charged the Jews with being
behind the Bolshevik Revolution.

     For those who are sincerely interested in Henry Ford's
attitude toward the Jews, I would kindly recommend the book
"Henry Ford and the Jews" (Stein and Day, New York, 1980) by
Albert Lee, an Irish Catholic who became a Unitarian. Lee
shows the central part Ford played in American anti-Semitism
between the two World Wars. Ford financed organizations such
as the Ku Klux Klan and the Anglo-Saxon Federation, as well
as the notorious Father Coughlin in the 1930's. In 1927 he was
forced to retract publicly his promotion of the Protocols
through his newspaper, "Dearborn Independent", as part of the
settlement of a libel suit brought against him. Suffice it to
say that Hitler called him "my inspiration" and awarded him
the highest Nazi decoration on his 75th birthday. Ford actively
supported the Nazi regime until after the outbreak of World War II.
His son Edsel and grandson Henry Ford II subsequently cleansed
the Ford Motor Company of the elder Ford's anti-Semitic taint.

     The Protocols could not have been issued at Basle in 1897
(not 1987!!) because they already existed among the Russian secret
police in 1895. Nilus himself was the one who invented this
myth in later editions. A rival editor of the Protocols,
George Butmi, denied any connection of the Protocols with
the infant Zionist movement and attributed them instead to
an international Masonic conspiracy.

     The utter crudeness of this lie is shown by the actual
translation of the entry in Herzl's diary dated November 25, 1897,
describing his visit to Colonel Goldsmid at Cardiff, as it was
printed in the "Jewish Chronicle" of July 14, 1922 (other editions
of Herzl's "Diaries" give similar translations):

    "Like Montagu, he too thinks of a big Palestine. It is a
    clever idea of his to impose a progressive tax on big land
    owners.- Henry George!"

From the context of this remark it is obvious that Herzl was
thinking about a possible system of taxation in the proposed
Jewish State. Henry George, of course, was the well known
American land reformer and economist who proposed the "single
tax" on land as a replacement for all other property taxation
in his popular "Progress and Poverty" (1879). There was nothing
at all "Jewish" about this liberal proposal.

     Goldsmid, on the other hand, was an ardent Zionist and member
of the British chapter of Hovevei Zion who "had wanted to charter
ships for the reconquest of Palestine" (Herzl, "Diaries" entry of
Sept. 20, 1895, edition of Raphael Patai, p. 243). He was not the
least interested in the expropriation of the English aristocracy or
in Jewish domination of England, issues which are not touched on
in the slightest in Herzl's accounts of their contacts.

     The two examples discussed above are more than enough to
demonstrate the terrible inhumanity of Marsden's anti-Semitism.
