Syrian-style "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" ("US & Israel destined to disappear from this world")

Damascus says it wants peace talks, but anti-Semitic and anti-Israel books still widely available.

Despite recent Syrian calls for renewed peace negotiations with Israel, Damascus continues to foment anti-Semitic hatred against the Jewish state.

After airing hate-filled television shows, the Syrians continue to print anti-Semitic and anti-Israel books, such as the new edition of the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The brand new 2005 edition combines familiar anti-Semitic myths with contemporary political messages that encourage Palestinian terror and predict the State of Israel is destined to disappear, Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center here says.

Moreover, the publisher chose to add an introduction and supplementary chapters, which promote anti-Semitic myths about Jewish domination of the international and American political scene.

The added sections also encourage Palestinian terrorism and include harsh incitement against the United States and Israel, which the writer says is "destined to disappear from this world."

In another section, the author writes that he "heard about very barbaric acts perpetrated by the Jews to anyone they catch," He then proceeds to describe vivid torture descriptions.

"Their stomach was cut open, a kidney was removed…later the eyes were blinded using white-hot iron," the book says. "Some of the bodies were handed over to the families completely mutilated."

Elsewhere, the Syrian author says "the Jews are world champions in spreading corruption and moral decay."

The volume's publisher indicates the book was authorized by the Syrian government in May 2004.

Those who wish to acquire the book or other works like it do not need to travel to Damascus, as the publisher offers the material on its website. Indeed, many of the 119 books it published during 2000-2005 contain clearly anti-Semitic themes.

Nonetheless, the publisher proudly claims it "encourages respect to others and avoidance of expressions that encourage violence and hatred."

That comes 5 days after the bombing in Tel-Aviv in which the Syrian "Islamic Jihad" was responsible for, and after Israel shared an itelligence report with the U.S that proved the Syrian involvement.

After recieving the intelligence report from Israel, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice approved the report as well:

LONDON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice cited what she called "firm evidence" on Tuesday that the Islamic Jihad militant group helped plan last week's Tel Aviv suicide bombing from Syria. "There is firm evidence that Palestinian Islamic Jihad, sitting in Damascus, not only knew about the attacks, but was involved in the planning."

-Note that the Syrian "Islamic Jihad", as well as the Syrian-style "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" are encouraged by the Syrian government.

Assad simply desires to see some IAF's F-16Is in action.

Syria’s Blood Libel Revival at the UN: 1991-2000
by David Littman
February/March Feature 2000
The recurrent racist judeophobia in Syria – with its remnant Jewish population of about 125, compared to 30,000 in 1943 – cannot be ignored. On 1 January 2000, the Syrian Arab Writers’ Association weekly, Al-Usbu’ Al-Adabi, a state-controlled organ, published an article by Zbeir Sultan entitled, "The Peace of Zion." After having condemned "the notorious Camp David Accords" and the normalization between Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and the Zionist enemy, the author lists some alleged diabolic Zionist crimes... What type of peace do such people – who call Jews a disease of the 20th century, who claim that Judaism commands the slaughter of Gentiles for the ritual purpose of eating of their blood – really have in mind?
Virgins? What virgins?
by Ibn Warraq
Saturday January 12, 2002
Luxenberg tries to show that many obscurities of the Koran disappear if we read certain words as being Syriac and not Arabic. We cannot go into the technical details of his methodology but it allows Luxenberg, to the probable horror of all Muslim males dreaming of sexual bliss in the Muslim hereafter, to conjure away the wide-eyed houris promised to the faithful in suras XLIV.54; LII.20, LV.72, and LVI.22. Luxenberg 's new analysis, leaning on the Hymns of Ephrem the Syrian, yields "white raisins" of "crystal clarity" rather than doe-eyed, and ever willing virgins - the houris. Luxenberg claims that the context makes it clear that it is food and drink that is being offerred, and not unsullied maidens or houris.
What the Qur'an Really Says
by Saykh Prof. Abdul Haddi Palazzi
The Qur'an recognizes the Land of Israel as the heritage of the Jews and it explains that, before the Last Judgment, Jews will return to dwell there. This prophecy has already been fulfilled... Viewing the Jewish return to Israel as a Western invasion and Zionists as recent colonizers is new. It has no basis in authentic Islamic faith. According to the Qur'an, no person, people or religious community can claim a permanent right of possession over any territory. The Earth belongs exclusively to God, and He is free to entrust sovereignty over land to whomever He likes for whatever time period that He chooses.
The Dreyfus Affair again
by Bradford R. Pilcher
"When Dreyfus was paraded through the streets of Paris in a humiliating display, 'Death to Dreyfus' was not the call of the mob. Instead, they chanted, 'Death to the Jews.' Students of history will also recall who was in the jeering crowd on that day. Theodor Herzl, who was reporting on the Dreyfus Affair, was there to hear the citizens of Paris demanding death for his people. He saw the meaning of the events surrounding Dreyfus's persecution, that in spite of their most sincere efforts, the Jews could not be secure as a homeless minority."
Whose Land Is Israel?
by Vendyl Jones
I took out a photograph of the above satellite image and pointed out the perfect Hebrew words "Ki-Luz-HaShem-Efraiyim." The accountant was aghast. "How did you make that?" he inquired. When I had to explain that these were just the shadows of the mountains and that the words were written there since the creation, he was dumbfounded. He took the picture and showed it to everyone in the garage.

some of these links are no more I'm sure.

Rush has been saying this for a long time and he is right. Until one side or the other vanquishes its enemy in the Middle East there will not be peace. It hasn't happened that way throughout history, and why should this situation be any different?

The sickening anti-Semitic propaganda coming out of Arab countries for the past 50 years has perpetuated the hatred in the area, and will not change until the Israelis have decided enough is enough. It is smart to keep putting up the wall, but it is not enough.

By introducing some aspects of Democracy into the area, Bush is doing the right thing, but it will take decades to turn these Arabs into a civilized people, and I hope Bush understands this. The ONLY lesson the Arabs will really take to heart is a thrashing on the battlefield.
