Defending the Jews: “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion Exposed” (Part 2 of 2)

In part one, we looked at Anti-Semitism in medieval Europe and during the Catholic Crusades. We saw how Medieval rule forced Jews to wear special badges identifying them as Jews (just as in Nazi Germany), and how they were forced into ghettos, and how they were wrongfully accused of unfounded crimes (both in Nazi Germany and in medieval Europe).

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion Exposed

(Sergei Nilus)

There is a mistaken belief (existing even today) that Jews are behind the Illuminati and a sort of Jewish New World Order. Henry Ford believed it and he wrote many newspaper articles attacking the Jews, claiming that they were part of a conspiracy to destroy America (g) (see Works Cited below). This belief was also made popular by the publication of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The book was published in Russian in 1905 by Sergei Nilus (d). In the book the Jewish characters are conversing back and forth about their plans for controlling the world. It has been proven that The Protocols… is a hoax and was based on an earlier publication.

In 1865, a book titled “Dialogue aux Enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu, ou la Politique de Machiavel au XIX. Siècle. Par un Contemporain” (or "A Dialogue in Hell Between Montesquieu and Machiavelli") was published in Brussels, Belgium (e). Its author Maurice Joly was a lawyer and satirist who lived during the reign of Napoleon III. He wrote the book as a dialogue between different characters with the intention of criticizing his government (d). He was arrested shortly after its publication and was sentenced to 18 months of jail time (e).

Some 40 years later, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion was published. Its similarity to “Dialogue in Hell…” by Maurice Joly is very striking.

(Maurice Joly)

“A Dialogue in Hell”, by Joly (f):

[Fourth Dialogue]

“Machiavelli: You do not know the unfathomable cowardice of humanity, servile in the face of force, pitiless in the face of weakness, implacable before blunders, indulgent before crimes, incapable of supporting the contrarieties of a liberal regime, and patient to the point of martyrdom before all the violences of bold despotism, upsetting thrones in its moments of anger, and giving itself rulers whom it pardons for actions the least of which would have caused it to decapitate twenty constitutional kings.”

Now, compare The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to "Dialogues in Hell".

“Protocols:”(f)

[Number 3, Paragraph 16]

“It is the bottomless rascality of the goyim peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless toward weakness, unsparing to faults, and indulgent toward crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of bold despotism. It is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day the goyim peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuse as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.”

There are many more examples of plagiarism in “The Protocols.”

Maurice Joly’s “A Dialogue in Hell:” (e)

[pg. 250.]

“MONTESQUIEU: How are loans made? By the issue of bonds entailing on the Government the obligation to pay interest proportionate to the capital it has been paid. Thus, if a loan is at 5 per cent., the State, after 20 years, has paid out a sum equal to the borrowed capital. When 40 years have expired it has paid double, after 60 years triple: yet it remains debtor for the entire capital sum.”

“Protocols:”(e)

[pg. 77]

“A loan is an issue of Government paper which entails an obligation to pay interest amounting to a percentage of the total sum of the borrowed money. If a loan is at 5 per cent., then in 20 years the Government would have unnecessarily paid out a sum equal to that of the loan in order to cover the percentage. In 40 years it will have paid twice; and in 60 thrice that amount, but the loan will still remain as an unpaid debt.”

As you can see, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion plagiarized Maurice Joly’s much earlier publication. The only reason for it being published was to spread lies about the Jews. Sadly, Henry Ford bought into this big lie, as did Adolf Hitler. In Hitler’s Germany, the Nazi party published and distributed large quantities of “The Protocols” (h).

Hitler wrote (in Mein Kampf) in strong support of “The Protocols” (h):

“[...] the Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion, [is] so infinitely hated by the Jews. [...] For once this book has become the common property of a people, the Jewish menace may be considered as broken.” Hitler, Adolf. Mein Kampf (München: Zentralverlag der N.S.D.A.P. Franz Eher Nachf., G.M.B.H., 1935). Volume 1; Chapter XI: Nation and Race (pp. 307-308; Mannheim translation).

I encourage the reader to consider that if Hitler, who killed millions of Jews (Gypsies, and others) and who started WWII, thinks highly of this fraud of a book, why do so many people also believe this book and hate the Jews? 

The Bible clearly teaches…

Genesis 12:1-3

12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Genesis 27:29

Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. 

Let's take that promise God gave to Israel to heart (in Genesis 12:1-3 and Genesis 27:29) and show love to Jews, not hate. While Jews have achieved great success in the areas of medicine, science, and music (and others), these people have been mistreated and misunderstood for most of their existence since the times of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We need to put Anti-Semitism to an end and let the Jews live in Israel, their land of promise which God gave to them (see Genesis 15:18-21).

If You Would Like to Have a Relationship with the true God, Be an Adopted Child of God, and Go to Heaven…

God loves us so much that He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and shed His precious blood to pay for all of these sins (John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians. 15:3-4). And He rose from the grave on the third day (1 Cor. 15:4).

The Bible says this about Jesus and Salvation:

John 14:6“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

1 Timothy 2:5“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

Acts 4:12“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

HOW TO GET SAVED and KNOW GOD:

1. If you believe and confess aloud, genuinely from your heart, that Jesus Christ has paid for all your sins with His precious blood and has risen from the dead (…knowing that you cannot earn this free gift of salvation) (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; and Colossians 1:14);

2. And if you repent from your sins (You do this by confessing only to God Himself that you are a sinner and that you want to turn away from sin.) (Romans 3:23; Acts 3:19; and 1 John 1:8-9);

3. And if you have made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior, you are saved (Jesus cannot be your Lord if you are serving yourself and living selfishly. If He is not your Lord, you would have another master. Jesus said in Luke 16:13: “No servant can serve two masters…”) (Romans 10:9-10 and Luke 16:13).

4. Now seek God with all your heart. Seek to know Him and you will (Jeremiah 29:13).

We need to emphasize this: God does not want us following a strict system of rules in order to please Him. God loves us and is about having a good personal relationship with each one of us as we seek Him and obey Him. God loves you and wants you to get to know Him personally.

John 17:3 says: "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
