My Quick “Anti-Zionist” Quiz
Thanks to Max Dunbar for pointing me towards Brian Klug’s piece on CIF.
It is a quiz, but I am aiming it at all of those charming “Anti-Zionists” who liked Caryl Churchill’s Seven Jewish Children.
The question for you is (and no cheating) which statements are from the notorious antisemitic pamphlet, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and which one is from Ahmadinejad, the Iranian President:
(Again, no cheating, try and see if you can differentiate them.)
” A. “In our day, all the governments of the entire world are consciously or unconsciously submissive to the commands of this great supergovernment of Zion … All affairs – industry, commerce, and diplomacy – are in the hands of Zion.”
B. “In social and political circles, in business and art, wherever one probes, Zionism raises its ugly head … and suddenly reveals itself ubiquitous and all-powerful.”
C. “[Zionists have] penetrated into the political and economic structures including their legislation, mass media, companies, financial systems and their security and intelligence agencies … to the extent that nothing can be done against their will.”
So which is which, the antisemitic pamphlet and which is the Iranian President’s words, A.B or C.
Leave your answers in the comments, if you dare 
I couldn’t narrow it down. They were all three equally plausible for either sourse, which I suppose is the point of the exercise. They seemed perfectly at home on The Guardian website, tho.

I think that now people tend to say “in the hands of Zionists” instead of “in the hands of Zion”. Apart from that, the statements are equally disgraceful.
They used “Zion”, “Judah” more in the past as a collective. Now they have the State of Israel if they want to use a collective noun, but they prefer to blame individuals.

I go with A.
Did you get to the part about Bolshevism being a Zionist controlled and led entity?

I suspect A is the from the great Iranian “anti-zionist”.
Why can’t these people be honest and just say that they are anti-semites, pure and simple? Because that is what they are, objectively. This poison has spread to, and affected the so-called Left.

Hi Mod. “A” is the protocols, “C” is Ahmedinejad. I guess “B” is the protocols too …
The bit about bolshevism is Nazi originally, but has been taken up by many since, inc. Hamas.
Any idea what’s happened to HP btw?
