I confess to being a major critic of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), and the Zionist elders total disregard for the people of Palestine when setting up the state of Israel. My activities have included very recently correspondence on the firing on British parliamentarians by the IDF. This correspondence was three way between myself, Clare Short - former UK International Development Secretary, and Jack Straw, UK Foreign Secretary. Previous issues have raised over the treatment and collective punishment of the Palestinians as well questions as to how the Palestinian Authority security forces may act effectively against anyone if the IDF repeatedly attacks them and destroys their command and control structures, etc. To say nothing of undermining any resolve they might have to tackle the terrorists.
Having established my credentials as a stern and public critic of Israel, Zionism, and by implication the United States double standard regarding the Israeli/Palestine conflict, I would like to turn to the so-called 'Protocols of Zion'. This book has been repeatedly shown to be a mischevious work of fiction, to be polite. Yet it never quite goes away. It saddens me to see it raised on a Christian Orthodox website as something anyone might want to treat seriously.
The 20 century saw some terrible events, fanned by fiction of one sort or another. Stalin's killing of millions, the killing of Jews, gypsies, Serbs and others in numbers beyond reckoning by the Nazis and their allies, earlier in the century the genocide of the Armenians, Pol Pot and the killing fields of Cambodia, Mao Tse Tung and his cultural revolution, Tibet and the list goes on.
The Protocols of Zion belong in one place, may I suggest, the bin! If there is injustice by any group then name it and shame it, but this book I suspect will only feeds hate, suspicion and worse..........
