A tweet from the FBI referencing a document long associated with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories was met with an angry blowback on social media Wednesday. The official FBI Records Vault tweeted without context “Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion” with a link to related FBI records. “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is an infamous text from the early 20th century that falsely describes a Jewish plot to control the world.

The former senior director for European and Russian affairs for the Trump administration, Fiona Hill, testified last week in the House impeachment hearings. At one point, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., asked her: “Would you say that these different theories, these conspiracy theories that have been targeting you, spun in part by folks like Mr. Stone as well as fueled by Rudy Giuliani and others, basically have a tinge of anti-Semitism to them at least?” This was Hill’s response: "Well, certainly when they involve George Soros, they do. I’d just like to point out that in the early 1900s, the czarist...

Friday's lead story in America's largest newspaper must have made for sober reading at AEI and the Council on Foreign Relations, the twin dorms that house the Wilsonian wings of our national parties. Americans, it appears, have had a bellyful of interventionism and globaloney. Reporters Susan Page and David Jackson merit quoting at length: "In a USA Today/Gallup Poll, nearly half of those surveyed said the United States 'should mind its own business internationally and let other countries get along as best they can on their own.' ... "The leave-us-alone mood is apparent not only in the proportion of Americans,...

An October Surprise? by Patrick J. Buchanan President Bush says Iranians are behind the more lethal IEDs, the roadside bombs killing our troops in Iraq.

In the weeks and months after 9/11, Jews in the US, Europe and even in Israel confronted a series of disturbing questions and assertions concerning an alleged Jewish conspiracy to destroy the World Trade Center. For American-Jewish filmmaker Mark Levin, the director of the soon-to-be released documentary The Protocols of Zion, inspiration for his latest film came after an encounter he had in a New York City taxi soon after 9/11. His driver, an Egyptian immigrant, made the claim that the Jews had been warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on the day of the...

Though very small in number, Serbia’s Jewish community is being increasingly targeted by an array of ultra-nationalist groups. The slogans hint at a future settling of accounts. "Juden Raus", "Achtung Juden", "Jews out of Serbia" and "Death to Jews and Gipsies", they proclaim, the words providing a chilling echo of the Holocaust that decimated European Jewry more than half a century ago. But few Jews actually see these slogans in Serbia today. Providing ample proof of the claim that anti-Semitism doesn't need Jews to flourish, the latest wave of anti-Semitism in Serbia has broken over a community that is a...

Jewish leaders had complained that the book, which purports to tell of an international Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, was being sold on Walmart.com with a description that suggested it might be genuine instead of a forgery concocted by the Czarist secret police in the early 20th Century. The description, now withdrawn from the Wal-Mart Web site, said, "If ... The Protocols...

Berkeley Anti-Semitism 101By Dafka.orgDafka.org | August 7, 2003 (Dafka.org Ed: Susanna Klein, a UC Berkeley student, was attending her class in Iraqi Arabic this week when her instructor, Iraqi  Abbas Kadhim, alluded to the Protocols of Zion in class as being a real document written by Jews. The Protocols were long ago proven to be a fraud written by the Czar's secret police. In the Arab world it they are taught as fact and have even created a popular mini-series on Eyptian television produced by (you guesses it!) the Saudis. What is even more fascinating is Khadim is an ex-Iraqi...
